Hi Gang,
Short weeks are the best – we really need more of them. It’s already Friday, and I have big plans to sit in my yard. Just like last weekend. And the one before that. And the one before that. But I tell you what – you haven’t LIVED until you’ve listened to a full set of Neil Diamond in an inflatable hot tub.

Forever in blue jeans
The man was a prophet! That’s us – forever in blue jeans! Isolation and boredom aside, this thing has its perks. We’ve always been pretty relaxed on the West Coast, but I wonder how this will shape all those uptight East Coast dress codes in the future. This may be the death of the suit… Diamond called it first!
