Sleeping in late on a Friday morning

 I was talking with patients past my 'usual' Thursday night quitting time and thus, slept in, comfortably, without a worry about getting up late......and although the weather out this morning, still sucked, it was a couple of degrees warmer than that past few days and a Friday late morning, lousy weather ride along the beach, in my solitude, was, in a word, WONDERFUL!!!

The big task at hand today was writing an email, in detail, to the UK-based owner of the two floor # 105 at 2311 Shader.  He wants higher trees - as we do - not the 12 foot ordinance-type that, in essence, would kill our mature trees.  I wrote the 2+ page email - with attachment - that Katherine edited and approved........

Save our trees!

Once upon a time I had tremendous success writing letter upon letter to Inland Revenue in Hong Kong, reaching success more often than not in wearing down the ability to cope with 'foreign tongue correspondence with a few dictionary searches included.  Is this how to do it with the City of Santa Monica?   Only time will tell.....
