After a week or so, I finally have gotten around to day 2. Day 2 started out interestingly enough. I woke up feeling ill from obviously drinking way to much the night previously. I was up at I believe 730am, I was amazed that I had not thrown up, felt like it though, but I [...]

My little girl goes to her first day of 4th grade tomorrow morning. I am not sure if I am more excited, or if she is. 4th grade for me was Smith Elementary in Baumholder, Germany. My first teacher in Baumholder was an older lady, she reminded me a lot of Mrs. Garret from Facts [...]

After a 4 hour drive from LA to Las Vegas, we checked into our room at Treasure Island and within 10 minutes I was downstairs at a place called Isla ordering a double Jack Straight up. Due to a problem with the register the lady only charged me for a single, so the day was [...]

How is it that my hearing goes kaput when I am taking an American Sign Language class? Granted, I can still hear, but it is probably at about 75% of what I normally could hear at. It is annoying listening to people on the phone and it is like they are talking through a wet [...]

There literally is only so much one can do before really getting pissed off at how this country works. We can spend billions a month over in foreign countries, to help make their lives better under the guise of national security. We can build planes that can’t be picked up on radar under the guise [...]

I have thought about Mike off and on the last 18 years, sometimes it is pretty difficult, sometimes it is fun to think about what may have been. Usually it is all in my minds eye. We went up to Los Angeles to see my parents this weekend, celebrate my mothers birthday 5 days early [...]

It was told to me a few weeks ago that on April 1, at 11am in San Pedro that my Aunt Marie’s ashes would be spread out at sea. My knowledge of the San Pedro area was a bit off as I thought initially that it was in Orange County, which is only about an [...]

1 mile – 20 minutes 3.5 minutes on that weird thing with the big poles… So out of shape… but I tried to get my heart rate into that 140 range… Oh yeah, got a 25/25 on the ASL vocab test and a 19/20 on the dialogue part. Apparently there are different kinds of No’s [...]
