I used to get calls in January and especially February, "Mark, this is Lars, we need to have a meeting. I'm coming into Santa Barbara next week, can you set up the meetings on [something we could hash out on the phone, email, or group chat]. Yes? Tack!" Yeah, winter gets to where it's just too much. I always took them to lunch at the beach restaurant and made sure they sat in the sun.
