spring break

This is what the beginning of Spring Break 2026 looks like. Went to dinner with the folks at Zócalo. Had some tasty tacos and a cold local brew. Got some new cushions for the outdoor seating. Running assorted errands. Finishing some neglected chores. 

Glamorous stuff. As I drove around town today, I thought about spring break trips years ago. All those trips to Baja, and the times we had. I thought about that as I drove to pharmacy. How times have changed. 

day 16

Almost two weeks have elapsed since my last post. I need to get better about that. I need to get better at a lot of things. 

Sunrise and sunset. I appreciate them a little more lately. It’s been a rough week, but I’m down about 7 pounds since first of the month. 


day 3

Another long walk, and more rain. Thankfully, I didn’t get soaked. A mix of sun and rain all day.  Around 1:30pm, a cell rolled through with thunder, lightning, and a bit of hail. 

day 2

4 miles today. Picked up a new pair of walking shoes on New Year’s Eve, and broke them in this morning. Harvested the last of the tangerines. The hot tub has a slow leak and one of the fence posts on the south side of the backyard is failing. And, I’m taking the dog to the veterinarian this afternoon because she’s been wheezing the last 36 hours. 2026 is off to a beautiful start.
