We were at an upscale Japanese restaurant in South Beach. Very good food. Pricey.The choice of sake started with a sake at $60 for a carafe of about 300 ml. We ordered it.We loved the sake.

Detroit Lions - I am from Detroit so they were my first team and I'm still a fan.  Detroit is a good place to be from – it never felt like home thought despite being my place of birth and locus for 3 decades. I dreamed about living in New York City.   

It seemed like a fun idea, and it was.   Saturday night we went to see an 80’s cover band.  Two full hours of rocking to a playlist that took us back to a very different time – even back to the 70s.

While I promote my work around the concept of making a difference - mostly in the realm of public policy, and often speak about the joy it often (always) brings this commentator, I gave some thought how it allows me to meet new and interesting people and forge relationships.  Most recently it involves two groups meeting weekly with a flurry of calls, text and emails in between.

This hasn’t happened in 3 years…my nuclear family is getting together. To facilitate this, flights must be arranged and coordinated, hotel rooms booked, and activities planned.  Lest I forget, COVID tests and an abundance of caution taken prior to the weekend.   To have everyone in one room  is worth the work.
