I cannot honestly tell you the last time that I had a lengthy vacation that involved me being outside of Southern California since my trip to Orlando with Sheff in 1998. That was the year that I met Jocelyn and then moved to Jacksonville the following February. Since then I have had mini vacations, primarily [...]

Ok, I just spat out the last plug that I took from 2010, literally with 7 seconds left on the clock before 2011 started. I have had a love affair with Mint Skoal for probably 15 years. It started casually in 1996 at work, just using on my drive home from Cloud 9 Interactive. The [...]

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 [...]

I must say that Preview night was nice, but I think the organizers could have handled it better. Three years ago when i went to preview night, I got my registration and walked into the convention hall and was able to do what I needed. This year after getting my pass, along with my daughter, [...]

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 [...]

We went to the Pacific Asia Museum up in Pasadena Saturday. I read about the museum on Koream. After reading the article I was #1 shocked that the museum was in my home town even before I moved their in 1990 and never knew it, and #2 was shocked at the amount of stuff it [...]

Ok, so I find myself on the third floor of the library, waiting for the class to start filling up. Granted, I am here a full hour before hand, but I am a stickler for being on time. I hate people wandering in two minutes late, you know when you need to be there, get [...]

So January 2, 2004 I landed in Burbank, Joe picked me up from the corner and we had to drive to Fontana to pick up the Paseo. Luckily they were running late and we got the car and I followed him back to Pasadena. I learned rather quickly the main difference between living on the [...]
