California's Kiss Goodbye

Some of you may know that I'm relocating back to New York City in September and will continue working remotely for IFTF. Well I couldn't get away without at least one noticeably freaky earthquake - California just blew me a 4.7 magnitude kiss goodbye from Sonoma!

See the recent California earthquake map. I wasn't sure what had happened, though my whole building shook and I knew it was more than a truck. It came up on the map in less than a minute. This blog entry was up less than 5 minutes later!

I sure hope the grapes are ok up there in wine country.
