Having lots of fun with Mamacita in Detroit. She is really a kick in the ass quite frankly. She asked me this morning, why do you write this email 3 times a week. She said, “If they want information, why don’t these people just call you?” Gotta love this woman!...

Had a crazy weekend moving! Closed our San Francisco building on Friday, moved to our new place this weekend and already have unpacked, put everything away and hung pictures. Unfortunately or fortunately I have moved so many times that it’s second nature. And what...
