Did you miss me last week?

I didn’t mean to disappear from the blogosphere but right after 4 days of work in San Diego, one of my best friends from NYC came to town for nearly a week.

Friday's High Five

 

I turned 45 on Saturday and while attempting to convince myself that 45 isn’t that old, it occurred to me that the number 45 has held some great significance and should be celebrated rather than mourned so here’s Friday’s High Five for this week:

1.  The 45:
