Washington D.C. – Tuesday – Sunday

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 [...]

2011: The Addiction Must End

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 [...]

4th grade

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

New Decade

So the new decade has come. For some reason I keep remembering the end of That 70′s show when all of the kids were sitting around at the stroke of midnight to bring in the 80′s. I do not know if the next ten years will be as fun as the 1980′s were, but I [...]

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 [...]
