Another day at the office

The honeymoon is over. Back from our California road trip. Back to reality.

Don’t get me wrong, Tash and I couldn’t be happier, and our trip couldn’t have been better. I wrote earlier this week in my journal that if our road trip had been the last week of my life, I would’ve died a happy man.

I would like to extend an opportunity for us to help with a bigger picture, the war on cancer.
