I thought I would take a week or so off from constant news reading. Has anything in the world changed? We’re still good? Ugh. Here’s some good news – there is a place where very little changes, for millennia. The tides are nearly as predictable as clockwork. The weather? OK, it’s variable. But here’s a sunny 50 degree January day coming at you. I’m here for you if you’ve got north coast sand and surf on your mind. As ever, the time is now. Hans Tonjes hans@livingroomre.com 503-936-4244
