My two oldest kids are at sleep away camp for three weeks. Went ook our youngest to the Dolomites in Northern Italy. Photos cannot do this part of the world justice. The food and drink is amazing too. We had a blast hiking through the hills and lakes. Lago Di Braies is particularly breathtaking.

We spent a couple of days in Munich and visited some family. Great city but if I didn’t have family there, not sure I’d return. While at our hotel in Munich we were contacted by our car insurance company stating our car was in an accident. I thought it was someone fishing. I called the local police to check our home and ensure our car was still there. They did. It was there and unscathed. The cop asked me to send him the accident report. I did. Turns out our license plate number is on the report. The cop at the scene mistook one number on the license. It took over an hour to figure it all out but in that hour I was convinced that somebody stole our car and got into an accident.

It’s telling where your mind goes when something like this happens. I was initially convinced the insurance guy was trying to phish for our personal info. Then I started wondering who knew we were out of town and stole our car? Turns out a simple error. Crazy thing is the car in the accident was a similar model and color of the same car.

All is well.

I’m excited to get home and play some tennis!! I’m sufficiently obsessed.

Just picked up my daughter from camp. These kids are having good lives. I’m proud of that.

My son has one more week of camp. I miss him.

Back to work on Monday. Looking forward to it. We are at the precipice of something cool.
