This morning I woke up at 8:00 a.m. well rested. I noticed the spare bathroom toilet leak was getting worse and dripping in two places. I put a towel down to soak up the mess and emptied out the stainless steel bowl I put under the pipe to collect the other dripping area. This was [...]

I dashed off to an industry meeting first thing in the morning, to which only two of us showed up. It was a quick and thorough meeting.
I did a lot of event planning today and the day seemed to fly by. By 2:00 p.m. my colleague and I left for Portland to meet [...]

I drove to Sherwood to the Target to look for some decorations for the pre-IPNC wine dinner. I found some large, flat river stones that I’m going to [...]

I got up, ate some fresh cantaloupe and headed over to Kadel’s Auto Repair to get stuff out of my car. It was hard to see my Goldie Hawn left behind in an auto body shop. The damage was about $3000, not including labor. I would have to report the figure to the DMV, as it is [...]

I had a bunch of meetings today, but they were marketing focused. I have a lot on my plate, but it’s all good stuff. I spent much of the day planning for the pre-IPNC dinner. I am excited about it. I love planning dinners and doing the décor, putting the flowers together, just [...]

This morning I drove straight to the winery for a meeting regarding a holiday catalog that I’ll be working on. As I left the winery, I noticed an animal moving in the field next to me, out a ways. It was a coyote. This was the first coyote I had ever seen!
