Today with the first of my “bunch of meetings” days. I met with a couple of people who are live test subjects for my service to find business customers on LinkedIn. I really like working with them. I met both of them via local networking groups. Then talking with someone who really needs some help … Read more
My bi-monthly mastermind group was today. It was a small but good meeting. Still just the three of us. I’ll do a promotion to my mailing list in a few emails and see who bites. To answer a reader question, a “mastermind group” is a business meeting apparently inspired by the writing of Napolean Hill … Read more
I went with my mom to the downtown farmers market. Yesterday’s market was small due to rain so we needed more vegetables. She doesn’t go to the bigger Sunday market often and was impressed with the selection. It was a good selection of winter vegetables. Back at the house I spent a couple of hours … Read more
Today my mother and Bob and I met up with the twins and we all went to lunch and then back for chatting and finishing jigsaw puzzles. It was fun spending the afternoon together. Elizabeth flies back to Baltimore tomorrow and she probably won’t be back in Sacramento until she graduates in May. Catherine will … Read more

I got my social media video done, edited, and started distributing it. New Years Eve is normally pretty simple for me. I made stuffed mushrooms again. They were still good. My mother made an amazing apple pie. Sweetened with maple syrup. Topped with a flour, sugar, cheddar cheese mixture. It was an amazing combination.
My daughters and I went to lunch at I-Shanghai Delight, the really good Shanghai dumpling place in Old Sacramento. We got there early so we browsed through Old Sacramento shops for a while. It was really fun. They are very touristy but fun to browse. Sort of almost barely like Disneyland. The good was great. … Read more
I got back to practicing guitar after a few days away from it. I’m going to continue. Sometimes I don’t practice in the evening when I get lost in work stuff. I’m at a point in the lesson book where there are 5 simple pieces of pleasant music to learn so I’ll stop and work … Read more
