April continues to be busy. It is easy to say already that I have either worked a full day or traveled (often both) every single day of April 2016. And the month is not over.

I spoke at a conference in San Diego. Some quotes I thought about this week. "The best camera is the one you have with you"--- Chase Jarvis "Do the work you can't not do."--- Scott Dinsmore (Read this one very carefully.) "Your heart is where you tears are."--- Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) An art pic of a familiar view from the "plane train" in ATL airport. Pics from Tijuana Mexico. I have a brand new passport. Just breaking it in.
