1998 is a good number

Why is 1998 a good number you ask?  Well California Assembly Bill 1998 is the bill to ban single-use plastic shopping bags.  It has made it through the California Assembly last week and its next stop is the state Senate!  If all goes as we hope, this could mean the end of plastic bags in California!  If passed, the bill goes into effect January 2012.  I am very hopeful and proud of all the people who have gotten it this far.

The other reason why 1998 is a good number is that it was the year Sus and I got married.  Tomorrow marks our 12th anniversary.  As we do every year, we will be making a pilgrimage to Bowling Ball Beach to renew our vows.  This year, after the vow exchange, we are heading off on a weasure (work+pleasure) road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway to southern California.  We plan to meet with customers, friends, family and on the 12th I will be giving a lecture to the Surface Art Association and then we will be heading home.  We believe this is the closest thing to a vacation we have taken with just the 2 of us in 12 years!  Should be fun!  Back to packing.... and prepping.  Have a great week!!!
