May 2024

Hello from the friendly skies! Coming home from a week in Amsterdam. I always wanted to return after arriving for a business trip early one Sunday morning to find the streets deserted, only to discover I’d missed the countrywide bacchanal that was Queen’s Day and everything was closed!

I’m keeping it moving after cancer radiation treatment a few years ago, and am grateful that all is now well. I golf three days a week just to get in the walking. Lord knows it’s not to lower my handicap. I got 25 days of skiing this season (heard Tipper broke 100!).

Debbie and I get up to our Tahoe cabin as much as possible. It has required upgrades lately, ahhh houses. Last year we skied Banff, kayaked the Amalfi Coast, golfed in Palm Springs, hosted family in Napa and visited San Miguel de Allende.

I just joined Rotary, and still manage a citywide neighborhood beautification initiative, maintain the local Historical Society IT infrastructure, install historical exhibits, and help with fundraising. 

Debbie and I are celebrating 39 years of marriage this Christmas — all good! We see our families at least once a year, and the god kids are in and out from all over the world. We’ve been in Sausalito for 11 years, so if you visit the Bay Area give us a shout. We’d be glad to show you around the campus. Hope to make it to our 50th to see as many of you as possible. Maybe Holley can explain this Harvard comma thing to me.
