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 [...]

Little Girls

I had the immense pleasure of taking care of another 3rd grade girl today. She was the daughter of a family nearby and also one of Molly’s former classmates. Great kid and fun times were had. The one thing I noticed when they got together was one of them would say something, then the other [...]

Geocaching… A new thrill

Since I have gotten my blackberry Storm 2 I have learned how to get past the touch pad issues and some of the other little quirks my fat fingers create with the thing. I have also visited the App World and found the geocaching application and installed it on a trial basis. I was at [...]
