Beautiful day in Sacramento. Thanks Margot for the information and trivia-filled tour for our UCCS students.
Playing one of dad’s old records and one of his and my all time favorites. Happy Father’s Day all.
Maybe because I did it as a kid, but the peak way to listen to vinyl is laying on the floor.

I’m notoriously bad at taking photos, but I like this one. This is from South of Carmel. California is an amazing state and I am happy to be back.
I don’t know to me these goals seem common sense, and you might even say necessary. We can’t pretend like AI doesn’t exist even if you don’t like it. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...
I wish all the veterans out there a good one. This is a picture of my father back in the day.
