I switch it up, but you know that this is my favorite. Steve, he is one of my favorites. We are talking about more clouds and rain . Not a lot of sunshine . Yes, there will be an opportunity for rain to the north. Everyone will get in on the rain, even toward san jose. A pretty strong system for may is on its way. A lot of this will favor areas north of the golden gate bridge. You could pick up a 10th of an inch. 47 degrees in santa rosa. 51 and livermore. Temperatures will not do too much, you are under partly cloudy skies. The wind is pretty calm. I have not seen anything worth showing. This will exit stage right, and highs today, near average for some. Especially santa rosa. Over to sell, we see if anything has popped up. The same thing, it is a light commute.

Host some of the most striking parts are if your book, your talk about behaviors, in hindsight it is easy to see the signs of addiction. In realtime it is not. Tell me about that. What i learned is not only is that true but i came to the idea of addiction with my own implicit biases.

After that came out, it surprisingly had a viral life and had millions of shares and i got a lot of feedback from readers like Young Lawyers who say i am worried who will wind up like your exhusband, depression, anxiety, also using lots of substances. I also at that point started thinking
