Hello from Peabody’s Coffee Bar in Palm Springs, California.

I’m just off to do a trail run on Mt. San Jacinto, off the tramway. It’s sunny summer down below. But I hear there is plenty of snow up high. In fact, they rent snow shoes and cross country skis atop the lift.

After a few days hiking in the Joshua Tree area, I fly to Mazatlán, Mexico on Tuesday for more dental work.
