Happy times at Lake Tahoe on that first magical trip (for a softball tournament)

In the vineyards in Sonoma County at the annual Winter Wineland event. Hey, when did all that gray hair appear?

  1. Love your entire collection of "the Dean's". It says so much about what he is passionate about
    but I have to say that I just cracked up (to the point of tears) on that first one. In fact, it may need a warning sign "Caution - do not open this email if you are operating heavy equipment"! And the very last one is great! Happy, Happy Birthday Dean!
