In some cruel twist of fate, while much of the country is suffering under horrible weather, California is enjoying gorgeous days. This is when California is at its best - the recent rains have brought back the vegetation, and, to some extent, cleaned up the air.

Yesterday, I spent the day in Laguna Beach at a client's facility. My time indoors was spent in a windowless cubicle, so I appreciated how nice it was when I left for lunch and to head home on Pacific Coast Highway.
