Magic I Saw this Week: This was a bit of a crazy week, I flew to Zurich on Sunday, arriving midday Monday worked till Tuesday night, then I flew to London late Tuesday night, spent Wednesday working, then left Thursday morning to fly back home. Arrived late in the day, worked and then drove to Tahoe on Friday, worked a bunch more and then had a weekend trip with my family and drove back home Sunday. A lot of time spent traveling for my taste. I was (and still am) wiped pretty much all week. I am tired and all I want to do is curl up and read but of course I am behind on 50 million things. But despite all that, my life was 100% full of magic. I loved all the reading I got done, meeting all the folks in London and Zurich, buying my favorite chocolates, getting to see london again after 20 years, having dinner with one of my closest high school friends, and getting to spend the weekend with my boys at a little piece of heaven on earth.
