Cannabis Country: Insurance agent for the marijuana industry
Itās good to see former students doing well, especially when they do well in innovative ways. Thatās true for Daniel Garcia, who took my classes at Sonoma State University (SSU).
Words Matter
Itās āback to schoolā time again and that means shopping trips for new school clothes, buying new notebooks, pens and erasers for the backpack and complaining about how early the first class bell is scheduled to ring.

Dog owners encounter likeminded folks in this dog-friendly town, and thus I met Suki right on my block as she walked her poodles while carrying a two-pound Chihuahua in a sling āround her neck. During that brief conversation I became anxious to learn more.

Single payer activists confront Assembly Member Jim Wood at Demo meeting
District 2 Assemblymember Jim Wood (D-Healdsburg) was on hand at the July 20 meeting of the Windsor Democratic Club to discuss his 2017 legislative activities.

Someday weāll laugh about this . . . right? Burney Falls and other wonders
We finally got to take a trip to see my dad and his new home in Burney, and it was wonderful. The trip itself took about five and a half hours, give or take a rest stop or two, taking the northern route (101 to Ukiah, then over to I-5 and up to Redding, then climbing up the mountains to Burney). The best part of the trip was getting to hug my dad, but there were a lot of other memorable moments, too.
