Summer's Here and the Time is Right...

Well, I finally have had things here in California settle down a bit and it looks like I will be back to my once a week-useless-rantings very soon. Moving your life across the country is extremely taxing on the body and mind. Whew!

I'll keep this update short, for I have only a little time to chat at the moment. Work is going well. The work on my house is finished (...for the moment. There is a phase 2 that is in the planning stages. More on that later.)

and I have moved in, much to the delight of my father who finally got his office back! It was a nice project to start with; I worked with our subs, changed gears from the retired mindset, left the pizza-making mindset behind and am back in the construction life. I will post before during and after pictures soon of the work we did on my abode later this week.

We started work on the "Villa on the Mountain" last week. I will be posting pictures and keeping you all up to date as things progress. The place has loads of potetial. It is a virtual empty canvas. I can't wait to get things rolling.

As for me personally, I've met some new friends, explored a lot and... well, here's a picture that sums up how I am holding up here in Northern California. Life is good!

You may want to crop the photo up about an inch. I have a similar problem with my gut.

Glad to hear you're well and out of the pizza biz.
