Don’t know what to do today? 3 Steps for Exploring Locally 4Two What should we do today? When my wife and I first started dating, we were faced with the question that I’m sure everyone in a relationship has asked: what should we do today?  Six years ago today, I suggested to go on a run.  So on Valentine’s Day of 2010, we went to Crystal Cove State Beach in Laguna Beach, CA , caught an amazing sunset, and thus began our itch for adventure. Our next hike was at Peter’s Canyon Regional Park in Orange, CA a week later and we stumbled upon it driving around looking for a place to run.  I thought to myself, there has to be a book about places to hike in OC.  I did a quick Amazon search and there was!  I quickly picked up a copy of Jerry Schad’s Afoot and Afield: Orange County .

What is the Cloud? Why Should We Use It? 3 Ways to Use the Cloud to Plan 4 Two 3 Main Cloud Platforms How to Decide What is the Cloud? The cloud is basically a network of online servers that allows access to data using an internet connected device.  Chances are, you're probably using the cloud now:   iCloud - to sync your iPhone’s multimedia, contacts, and data; Dropbox - to store your personal files; Google - for your email or documents; or Office 365 - to store your office documents.   Why Should We Use It? In the past, sharing and editing documents consisted of bouncing emails back and forth with a Word document attached.  This practice was very cumbersome, as it required downloading the file, editing it in Office, adding it as an attachment, and then emailing the file -- sometimes even leaving you with multiple versions of the document on your computer, making it more difficult to manage. One of the biggest reasons to use the cloud with your partner is to quickly
