It seems like only yesterday, or last week, that I was complaining about how wet it was around here. Now, I am noticing several of my Facebook friends complaining about how hot it is. It is really easy to tell which of them have not lived here long enough to figure out that this is …
A Picture a Day – Project 365 October 2010 As much as this Project 365 seems more like project than fun at times, it is a handy way of reflecting back and seeing what you have done in the last month. October had too much rain and way too many visits to medical professionals. On …
As I have mentioned several times over the past few weeks, the weather here has been weird. It reminds me more of Ireland than Southern California. When I look around there is a semblance of Fall. That must be what it is. If I had not visited other places in the country, I may not …
28 years ago today, I became a father for the first time. I will never forget that day from the endless hours waiting for her to come out to getting splattered in the face with blood when I cut the umbilical cord. The doctor found that particularly funny. The nurses had to pry her from …

If it is not one thing it is another would be a welcome relief. Instead it just keeps piling on. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I guess I am glad that it is not all sun shiny and bright. It would totally conflict with my disposition. My picture of the day for Project 365 day 295 …
Some things just do not mix well. You know, cats and dogs, scotch and orange juice, things like that. I am reminded almost daily that I should not bring alcohol and fireworks to the park. That is okay, I can wait on the beer. My picture of the day for day 294 is a reminder …
I do not know what is happening with the weather around here. One might think this was Oregon or something with all the rain we have had recently. Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but it did remind me of a period a few years ago when LA had more rainfall than Seattle. I …
We humans, at an early age, are [usually] taught that it is not polite to stare. Unfortunately, this was a lesson that I seemed unable to convey to Buddy. If he was a human he would probably be considered fairly rude. I think he just can not help it. My picture of the day for …
