Raoul’s Two Cents: May 3, 2024<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Away From My Desk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Guess where I am today as I write today’s little intro? I’m in a California desert — Palm Springs. Nah,<\/em> I’m not doing anything important here \u2026 just accompanying my wife who’s attending a business retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of people here wandering around in their shorts and sandals. Apparently, Thursday night is street market night — where one of the main streets is cordoned off and vendors sell their crafts and wares. Lots of people walking around — holding hands, chatting in restaurants, bands playing. Quite a lively festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, I’m not in a deep thinking mood here so no bolt of lightning message is forthcoming. I’m also away from my work desk so all my tech toys are back home \u2026 just typing on my dinky laptop with just enough time to greet you a happy TGI Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know about the rumor that a Star Trek

die in that episode?
Neither did I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
