It’s Dine Downtown week! Last night we had dinner with friends at the Pilothouse Restaurant in Old Town Sacramento. Good food. Great company!
Back to Manna Bunsik for a break from the office and to indulge in a Korean fried chicken lunch set. The green onion wings had great flavor but I missed the spice so ended up dipping it into some spicy sauce. I like their jalapeño flavor best.
The experience of friends who either evacuated and/or lost their homes in the recent fires has me rethinking my approach to digital files and backups. I pulled The DAM Book off the shelf and will start rereading it soon. Not to follow exactly but to at least create a sustainable plan to follow.
I’m a little scared to start playing Balatro since so many have described it as super addicting. But I’ve been craving something new to play. 🎮
Nintendo Switch 2 teaser hit just right this morning. Very much looking forward to the bigger screen and joycons. 🎮

Tapping out for a little bit. My phone is always on for those in need. Cash and food deliveries sent, friends connected with other friends for shelter and help. There’s not a whole lot more that I can do from here other than be ready, and follow through, when that phone rings. #SoCalWildfires🔥

So, so good.
Another friend has lost their home. That makes 12 now. A few others still haven’t been able to get back into their neighborhoods to check to see what’s left. #SoCalWildfires 😢🔥
I can’t put into words what the last few days (and counting) have been. I lost track of how many friends have evacuated, lost their homes, lost pets, and other atrocities. I’ve watched as my childhood hangouts have burned down. It’s difficult to focus on anything else right now. #SoCalWildFires 🔥
