How will you spend the last hour of life in a respected democratic nation?

Good morning Napa. View from my room as I prepare for a day with leaders from across the state at the League of California Cities Summit and Board Meeting.

Nearly 12 weeks after my Achilles tendon gave out, I’m finally ditching the boot and scooter. Will be walking the dogs again in no time.

Spending Thanksgiving at our happy place.

Mia is home and all the animals are excited.

Big thanks to @OurCityForest, Mayor @MattMahanSJ, Asst. Arborist Kallie Schloemann, and the amazing volunteers who planted 27 trees at Penitencia Creek Park this weekend! These trees will bring shade, support wildlife, and beautify Berryessa for years. 🌳💚 #SanJose
