  • Ask and you shall receive

    I asked Ida to downgrade (see below) and hot damn! She’s a tropical storm, working on depression. For my CA readers: It’s just a little rainy and windy but I’ll survive. Looks like I owe her a fruit basket. Megan, maybe we can get a group discount. I’m going to crawl under some blankets now.

Friday: I woke up early to meet Amanda (the bride-to-be) and…
