I have been wanting to get out to CA for quite some time, now.  I grew up there and it holds a very special place in my heart.  Well, Audrey and I had the chance to go out there; she was there on business and I was there on pleasure--it was a very nice arrangement that I hope we can do again very shortly.  The pace of life was much slower...I had very little to worry about...Audrey and I had a chance to reconnect and laugh with and at each other...We had some great food.  All in all, it was a great trip and I am very thankful for the opportunity.  I return, now, refreshed and ready to get back to work.  This picture was taken at Huntington Beach at sunset and has reminded me that we have only to open our eyes and pay attention in order to see beauty all around us...
