Friday!

Today was a typical workday. We are tantalizingly close to launching an updated version of our apps with improved accessibility. The day ended with a monthly dinner with a dear friend.

Also, a new camera was gifted to me, and it's a beautiful little thing I've yet to explore, as it arrived minutes ago. I'm so incredibly excited!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and several protests are planned in the city.

Here are two startling fraud stories. Watch out!

A Hockey Dad, a Cartel, and a $12 Million Fraud

Crew targets Berkeley woman, 89, with rooftop raccoon scam

And finally, watch what you say on social media!

7:01 am – 5:46 pm, which is 10 hours and 45 minutes of daylight!

Bird of the day is: Double-crested Cormorant

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,
