I’m currently in California, writing this on the porch at WEVO towers in beautiful San Francisco sunshine. Leonard is just about to arrive and pick up a 911 to take to Monterey. We’ll be spending the weekend down there at Rennsport Reunion.

We have so far driven from Amsterdam to Geneva to Briancon to Monaco: now we start day 4.
