Happy Saturday, everyone!

Well, to throw in a curveball, it seems like a hurricane is hitting the west coast of the United States. As someone who spent over a decade in Florida, I’ve learned not to fret too much about these situations. These storms have a knack for decelerating and changing direction in the blink of an eye. However, I must admit, I don’t have much confidence in the California electrical grid. Time will tell what unfolds.

Moving forward, tonight my wife and I have a special date planned. She surprised me with tickets to see one of my all-time favorites, Smokey Robinson, at the Starlight Casino in Pala. We’re hoping to have some good luck at the tables before the concert starts, as Stacy happens to be quite the formidable gambler.

Here’s to a memorable evening!.
