Brief Respite

I'm heading home to California tomorrow for a one day business meeting in San Francisco and a full day Saturday with Marv and MeiMei. It makes for cheap business travel for the company (no hotels, meals or other sundry expenses) and it provides me a do-over for the holiday time I spent with Marv and MeiMei when I was crouched over their toilet with food sickness. I've already offered to cook the Saturday dinner opus, walk the dog and just reconnect with my closest kin. I needed this and just am so happy for some quality time with my bro.

(And in case you're wondering, this photo was of me and Marv, ten years ago in our element--a swimming pool in Fresno. It seems like yesterday).
