Our buddy and strategic partner, Dennis Viers, wound up in the hospital the other night with a ruptured appendix. I asked him if this was a result of all the hard work and long hours he has put in on the San Ramon Planning Commission and the City Center Project.

He told me it was probably due more to all the celebration around the improvement in the local housing market. I checked the IV and, sure enough, there was a morphine drip attached, so he is seeing things a little differently than some!

He’s in room 3057 at Kaiser in Walnut Creek for those who wish to visit. I don’t know if he wants flowers, but Kris is there non-stop, so take her a cheeseburger, a latte or some chocolate.
