The Streak Continues: 321<\/h3>\n

Yesterday during a long working lunch I met with my ART (Active Release Technique) chiropractor, Dr. TJ McKeon, and his interior designer, Shelly. TJ is re-doing his office space and will be using a selection of BIRDS AS ART images as part of the re-decoration. I still managed a late swim and a really cold ice bath; the water temp was 58.9 degrees when I got out of the tub! I should be sending my final edit ofthe DPP 4.0 RAW Conversion Guide ready to Arash early tomorrow morning. I hope to get the final PDF from him no later than Monday. <\/p>\n

This blog post, the 321st in a row, took me about 1 1\/2 hours to prepare. It was published just after 5:30am from my home at Indian Lake Estates, FL. <\/p>\n
