Greetings from Santa Cruz

[chiefgrumpiness]

This town is great. It is absurdly mellow...and just about the polar opposite of the sururban utopia of Irvine. I think I had more to say than that...but I suppose that is about it.

Oh, next summer, I have decided to walk this route in Spain that spans nearly seven hundred miles. Any takers?

I just worked out at the gym so my pecs are nice and sore.
(Martin, I hope you are keeping up.)
