The Ideas of March: Caesar lay bleeding out on the marble floor of the Senate and my life changed again.

It's Official: I finished a polished first draft of Sonoma Knight: The Goat-Ripper Case. 188 pages. Six weeks of Beta edit/polish next. I hope it goes well with your beach sand and suntan lotion.

My weekend get-away was to visit a water-buffalo dairy in Sonoma. Ever tasted real Mozzerella cheese? Craig makes the best. I drizzled 25-year-old vinegar on top.

A mixed herd of 30 swamp and river Asian buffalo have inspired me to do The 12 Water Buffalo of Sonoma Zen. Maybe a calendar, an itty-bitty book, and a new view on living.

Then I met a honeypot photographer with a 4X5. Meet Up! Houston, we have a shooter! Now how to get a water buffalo to smile?

Stay tuned. PeterPrasad.SF@Twitter.com
