It was sunny and 75, Kayla came over to spend the weekend which was a real treat. We got a lot of laundry, yard work and house cleaning done, as well as moved the basketball hoop out to the street and shot some hoops for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday evening we had [...]

We have Brother James living with us for a while now as life just keeps kicking him when he’s down. He’s tried so hard to be a good father to his kids, but when the states are taking 50% of his wages there’s just so little you can do.
If you have a moment say a [...]

I can’t believe my little guy is 7 years old. I remember vividly being that age. What a wonderful time. The world was still full of magic, but you were JUST starting to figure some of it out. We had a great day of playing Halo and Godzilla games on the XBox and some other [...]

Spent this week in Oakland, CA. (Concord actually) at some training for Email Security. It was an interesting class, but since I was all by myself it made for a rather boring trip. There wasn’t much to see in Concord, but it was sunny and 65-70 most of the time.

Hope you have a wonderful day sweetheart!

Today ends a 4 day weekend for the kids. Lucky bums! They had a pretty good time though. I worked Saturday night until Sunday morning around 5am, so I was fairly zombified on Sunday, and Tracie’s had a heck of a cold all weekend, but luckily we didn’t have anything great planned.
Valentines day we ate [...]

And I wish it was on beer.
Sitting at the stop light at 76th St. this morning on my way to work I was shook out of my “On-the-way-to-work” stupor by a nice kid in his Ford F-150 seeing the light turn green and going for it. Whilst I was still stopped in front of him… [...]
