I twisted my right ankle at the gym this morning hopping side to side across the Bosu ball. So far, no damage seems to have been done. Yay!

This afternoon I met with my Wells Fargo Private Banking/Trust Team Members. It’s going to take me a while to process that whole deal. I finally sliced open my watermelon with the intention of eating half of it for dinner tonight and the other half for lunch tomorrow. The darn thing had a weird chemical taste! At first I thought maybe there had been soap on the knife for something. Disappointed, I decided it was a bad idea to eat the thing and tossed it.
