Morning reflections over a nice, hot cup of Yorkshire Tea.

Preseason between the San Jose Sharks and LA Kings (well, the Ontario Reign, the Kings AHL team, playing as the Kings for the preseason).

It was weird seeing hockey in a different arena than Staples Center (I refuse to call it by its new name).

Kings beat the Sharks 2-1 in a great OT period.

RIP Tony Bennett.

I was only 2 when this concert happened, but it was the reason I got into singer-led jazz.

This video by MKBHD is a fascinating dive into how Apple markets its products without using “common” buzzwords.

As a former Apple employee, I can safely say we find it annoying as well. 😏

Drove out to Francis Ford Coppola Winery today. I was really excited, but came out disappointed. I was really expecting more from the “museum”.

However, it did allow for a stop in Downtown Healdsburg, where one of my favorite butcher shops in all of CA resides, Journeyman Meat Co.

Plus, they have these awesome paintings in the bathroom…

Beautiful day for Mets baseball. I’ve now seen them play in 8 parks around the country. Of course, they beat the A’s 3-2.

It was a good day…

Way more happy than I should be to have my Breville Oracle Touch back from repair.

I almost forgot what a good cup of home brewed coffee tasted like.
