Fact or Fiction?

Greetings everyone!
As I write this blog I am in Sunny San Jose, California on business. It is tough work, but someone has to do it.
Before I start sounding pompus, I really don't enjoy being out of town on business and would rather be back home at Coyote Ridge.
But, at the same time, I do get to meet up with my collegues and get some valuable face time with them.
After I wrap up here, I will go to Phoenix, AZ then home sweet home.

Now back to the headline:
