One of a lot of things that matter more than the things that get our attention and energy…

A person I met this weekend said, “You look like you were a beast in the day.” I replied, “Yep… and today is a day.”

San Clemente… San Juan Capistrano… #CoachHouse anniversary (32) weekend.

32 years looks like this…

Proud of Lisa Romero for her big book launch today! @PaloAltoUnified

Remember not everyone had a great summer break. True of staff and students. Just be mindful. SimpleWinsLLC.com

Don’t forget to recharge before the school year begins. Heading to see my grandson… and son & daughter and daughter-in-law… but mostly grandson! Last night in San Clemente didn’t disappoint!

Because life is good… My daughter the teacher. All-American volleyball player, but BETTER person.

@GaryTan Let’s discuss academic excellence live. Any time and any place. You set the conditions. Only rule is that anything said - must be fact checked. Let’s go! Pick the day and time. You can bring #RohitKhanna @rohanna to discuss his actual districts. I have data.

Palo Alto Middle College High School is one of my proudest moments. Today was special. I love our students and what they are accomplishing!

Fundraiser for @PalyAthletics Great shirts! Athletics matter. Learning to win and lose with a team is important. Life skills!
