Happy Friday, friends. If you had a short week, I hope it was good to you. It’s been raining here in Houston for the greater part of the week, which tends to be an excuse for me to kind of slow down a bit.

The last time I popped on here was last Monday, when I shared part I of my travel guide to Punta de Mita, Mexico. And then, well, I sort of disappeared. It was just one of those weeks.
