I was going to ask you a few hours ago - but thought it just might be a bit too early! Thanks for the update!

I am normally up by 3:00 am enjoying a cup of coffee outside (it’s been in the 100s this week ) before going to office at 5:30 am. Only time it cools down and I have energy to do anything. The heat just zaps it out of me so go ahead and give me a nudge whenever you want!

So that would make it 1pm where I am - at your 3am! WOW - 100!! You must live in the desert - well so. California "was" a desert.

Every single time I see the title of this thread I'm so overwhelmed with sadness and the senselessness of this murder. Poor baby. 4 years old and her life snuffed out because she spilled a juice box.
