Yesterday, Grace and I, had dinner with my Zia K. and her husband. The last time we saw them was through a screen door, during the Covid pandemic. It was great to sit down and catch up with both her and her husband. She is my aunt by marriage; meaning that she was married to…

Today I had the privilege of driving across two-thirds of our state.  I used Highway 99 and eventually cut over to Highway 5 in Stockton.  I stopped in Visalia, Woodland and have ended up at my sister’s house just outside of Davis.  This is a business trip and I will probably be driving back on…

“What do you want from life?” What a profound question. I am pretty sure that what we want is constantly changing. I know that what I want now is much different that when I was in High School or college. I think that no matter what we want and what we work for or strive…

This week I have been working with a client, on a project that is going on year number six. As my partner and I sit with individuals discussing what it is that they do and how they need the “system” to work for them, I realize that I actually do know the Distribution/ Warehousing business…

There is so much beauty all around us; and even during the uncertainty of natural and man-made disasters, like the ones in Hawaii and Ukraine, I am grateful for my belief in god. The creator has a plan, of this I am certain. I ask for guidance from him so that I may work to…

I am so grateful for all of the wonderful friends that I have in my life; some of them are considered family. I am grateful for the moments that I get to share with these friends; because we are all children of god aren’t we all family? I am grateful for my faith in the…

This week I am relaxing in Loreto Mexico; I am here with my best friend, who I have known my whole life, his wife and my wonderful partner Grace.  Yesterday we took a boat charter to go snorkeling; while going between islands the captain asked me if I wanted to drive.  “Hell yes, I do!” …

I love living in Arizona.  Especially in the Spring; the desert flowers bloom, the beautiful sunsets it is just gorgeous.  That being said, I love the ocean!  The ocean is my church, where I feel closest to god; so sailing from Long Beach, California to Honolulu, Hawaii was like being in a Cathedral. I am…

I usually post around June 21st how I am grateful for the Summer Season. This year I was preparing for my sail in the Transpac race so I may have forgotten to post how grateful I am for summer. I am grateful for the longer days, the warmth of the sun and everything else that…

Back from Hawaii, it is time to re-engage in life, both on the sea and on the shore. I am caught up on emails, re-connected with clients, friends and family. I was asked if I would like to help sail Imagine Too back to Long Beach from Hawaii, of course I would; I just cannot…

The Transpac Race, 2023, is over.  Out of five boats starting, in our class, only two of us finished the race.  We were a crew of unexperienced people, none of us had ever sailed in the Transpac or to Hawaii from California.  We made it there in Sixteen days, twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes and thirty-four…

I hope that the title is correct and I am sitting in Honolulu drinking a Mai Tai. I hope that the hotel room that I booked several weeks ago is still available, I told them I may be a day or two late. Today I am grateful for the wonderful opportunity and learning experience of…
