I remember this morning vividly. Almost exactly 3 years ago… My wife was in San Diego for business, and I flew in to meet her. This particular morning, we were up early for a drive to Torrey Pines and some hiking along the coast. It rained a little just before dawn. There is nothing quite like the combination of the smell of fresh rain and the sound of the ocean as you rise before the sun.
