Today is the first day of my vacation. I slept in. Then I made a cup of coffee and read two newspapers on our back deck — beautiful day here in the Oakland hills. I have absolutely nothing to do. I’m not used to that. I like action. Tomorrow, the entire Cohn Zohn is driving to Stanford. A close friend of Grant’s is starting graduate school there in the fall and we’re giving the grand tour.
I will post my Sunday column tonight — I wrote it on Friday. I will keep blogging on vacation, not as much as usual. But I like blogging. Some writers keep journals and notebooks. I never did that, I don’t know why. This blog is the closest thing I have to a journal. Some very personal things I don’t put in here, but I write what’s on my mind and what I do and learn. I’ll be doing that for the next month or so. I hope you come along for the ride. On Wednesday Mrs. Cohn Zohn and I drive up to Ashland. Shakespeare himself texted me: “Dude, get up here for the festival,”he wrote.

Why not? Your the bard of Lake Merritt. The Shakespeare of shaking things up in the sports world. Enjoy, Lowell.

A month vacation! Enjoy. I hope to learn more about the Oregon wines and to see if they credit any tasting fees.
Be careful of speeding tickets and don’t forget to let the gas attendant fill your tank.
I’ll be heading down to Newport Beach for a couple weeks – duuude…

Enjoy the Shakespeare! I really like Ashland, but I haven’t been there in a very long time. What plays do you plan on seeing?

Lowell: Nice of you to not point out Neal’s language challenges. Should of? Maybe Neal should read a grammar book while working out at the gym. I hear there is a nice tavern in Ashland…The Sheep I think is the name.
