Baumholder High School Reunion Day 1

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 [...]

Comiccon 2010 Preview Night

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, [...]

The Irony

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 [...]

Saturday with the Family in Los Angeles

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 [...]

Day 2 – ASL

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 [...]

2004 – 2006 Years in Review

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 [...]

Addiction

I am an addict. I guess I figured this out probably about ten years ago when I moved to Jacksonville to be with Jocelyn. I would sneak out and grab a can of Skoal and do dip while she was at work. At first one can would last me a week. Over time it would [...]

2000 – 2003 Years in Review

I can honestly say that the last ten years of my life have been the most difficult, most horrendous, most wonderful, most exciting, most stable, most erratic in my 37 years of life. The 70′s were fun, the 80′s were a blast, the 90′s just plain incredible. I guess I was due a decade of [...]
