Highlights: A few days have passed since my last entry. I'm trying to find a new groove/routine in my writing so this is taking a back burner. Yes, that reference works with the photo of Original Joe's on this post, and yes, it's intentional. Jen got back this week from Portland. We're working with a bit more focus on trying to align our energy and efforts on the remaining year, and the break from routine work demands is something we want to make the most of. We want to find new paths we love. Oh, I bought a full-sized electric piano Monday, just before picking up Jen, and both Tommy and I are taking turns working on learning to play. I "invested" in this and a training course because I know I can learn to play reasonably well. Any doubt I might have would be a barrier to success, and self-sabotage, so, I'm just doing it and not putting energy into anything but success. It'll take time, and I seem to have it now. Jen and I met Jack and Judy Marks for dinner in San Ramon. It was great to finally introduce them. Everybody Loves Jennifer™, and now, two more people do. :-)

Accomplishments: I got the Jikoji newsletter sent. I continued work on finalizing the business license. I cleared out several other abstract action items.

Anticipation: Our "4-winery-pickup-spree" in Paso tomorrow.

Gratitudes: It's a real joy to see Tommy working to master "Scientist" by Coldplay. I am glad he's engaging in this as a creative interest.

One Sentence Summary: Green lights surround us.
