I find myself in Cleveland on this evening and it is snowing right now and about 11:50pm. As I look out the window the yards have been covered, but nothing more than a light covering. Snow is nothing new to me, but something I can do without for sure. I will be returning on the 31st and will be glad to be home.

My son likes his new school, and for that I am thankful. He changes classes quite often and does not get bored as easily. I went to pick him up and I can say ...

So yesterday, I call my Son as I do nearly every day. I ask him if he has been to school yet, and he has not been since the move to Cleveland. I then ask if he is going tomorrow, and he tells me there is no school on Martin Luther King Day. I asked him why did we have a day for MLK and he told me that he was very instrumental in helping people with their civil rights.  I really did not know what he was going to tell me, but I was ok with that ...

Today is my son's 12th birthday. He does not know this, but I will be visiting him in 13 more days for a week. He is in Cleveland now but has not enrolled in school yet. The Middle School wear he is suppose to go has metal detectors you pass through on you way into the building. This is a bit intimidating to his Mother and quite honestly to me as well. Home schooling may be an option, but it appears that Cleveland may be his home for 6 months or less. San Diego does not seem to ...

It is nearly Monday and that means, less than one week until Xmas. It always sneaks up on you doesn't it?   Indianapolis fans got an early gift. Green Bay fans did not really need one. Football was great today and so many teams are still alive after 14 games and 15 weeks.

I got some news on Friday that Southwest Airlines was running a great one day promotion. I caught a round-trip from San Diego to Cleveland for $130, and will be visiting my son in late January. He does not know and I can hardly ...

Hope everyone is doing well. I need to remember to buy some eggnog. I don't need any with alcohol, but will be crossing tomorrow or Friday and want to get some to keep up with tradition. Man it is cold enough around here to let me know it is Xmas time. You guys on the East Coast...or Mid-West must be laughing your ass off. Just remember we are laughing when we see the temperature where you are as well.

Indiana beat Kentucky last Saturday, just to prove there is a God in heaven. Some things were ... << MORE >>

Just finishing Pearl Harbor day. Not too many left from those days as this is the 70th anniversary.  Pearl Harbor day was December 7th 1941, and my Father enlisted on December 8th 1941. Must have been weird to know someone bombed us on our land. Generally we think of war as an "away" game, and of course we took it to the other lands and well you know the rest. I guess 9-11 is the closest thing to that kind of feeling. Really strange to speculate at who was to blame. As sad as this may sound, I ...

Did it ever rain here in Tijuana today. I lost satellite television service and then when it came back on, I had to turn the volume up all the way to hear over the rain. I generally love the rain....especially late at night with a little cutie.   Nothing better than having adult relations while you can hear the rain pounding on the roof. Nothing worse than having a leak waking you up either...have not experienced that but one of my friends did.

People are all up in arms because Alabama ...

Nice date isn't it?  Lots to talk about.

The big story is Joe Paterno. This is the classic, "Tell me it isn't so, Joe"  We put sports figures so high on the pedestal that we sometimes make them "Godlike".  I am as guilty as anyone. I'm trying to reserve judgment on what happened, what he knew, what he did, etc. I just refuse to believe that he knew that children were being victimized and he did nothing. It just cannot be. The folks at Penn State wanted him out in 2004 when his team was 4-7 ...

Sorry for the delay, but I am lacking motivation and seem to always find something else to do.

Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty today of involuntary manslaughter and the verdict pretty much took over my television.  I found myself feeling somewhat indifferent on this case and the verdict. It seems strange to me that so many fans embraced this court proceeding and the reading of the verdict. Listening to the press interview some of them was interesting to say the least. Now these folks were not part of the jury but their reasoning and comments ...

Hello folks!  I know it has been awhile, and I have been more lazy than usual. I have a few things to share and sorry if they are even more boring that usual.

I'm starting this entry at 4:55pm and who knows how long it will take me. I just bet Jacksonville +11 and St Louis +125 before I started writing. I will most likely try to watch and write at the same time.

Today I went to Home Town Buffet with my friend "Burt" today. They offered meatloaf today, so I was a happy ...

I went out to eat with a couple of friends this evening and we had a nice visit. Sometimes you can just let time escape and talk about a multitude of subjects and it just makes you feel good to forget about time restraints and how busy we really are. Somehow I got to start talking about my friend Dale.

Every group of guys has "Dale" in their group. Dale loved sports and was not athletic, but loved his teams and his sports. Dale like his beer and music as well and was just a "guys ...

Well you know Xmas is coming with the quickness. This just occurred to me when I typed the date. Let's enjoy Halloween and Thanksgiving  first anyway. I enjoy Halloween when the kids visit, but it is not likely when the security gate is locked where I live. Maybe I will hang out at the gate.   In four more days my friend Maria will turn 70 and she would not want me to tell you that, but she does not read this blog. I love her and she has been my ...

Posts have been spaced apart a bit more than normal. Things are not moving along smoothly, but I am fine. A recent one week trip to Nashville has worn on me and I guess I am not getting any younger. I've been finding myself struggling to stay up to 10pm to make sure you and your date get along. One positive is that I sleep well....in Tijuana.

There is a little issue with my DirecTV and I am waiting for a new box. Saturday and Sunday with nothing more than local cable was a bit rough. I ...

Many of you already know that I am in Nashville Tennessee this week. Working away from home is possible, but it does have its opportunities as well. I don't know if I could do this full time or not. With the difference in times, I am working until midnight or 1am local time and 10 or 11pm Tijuana time. I get up at 6:30am to make sure my son makes it to school. I need a bit more sleep and I am beat to say the least.

Walking with my son to and from school is ...

Thanks for reading my blog entries. I have taken a little time off for a number of reasons, but it is nice to hear from you and know that you are reading. I am planning on writing a book about my adventures, but don't really have a time table on when I will start or when it will be completed. Let's just say I am not starting this project in 2011.

Well nice to see our 9-11 10th anniversary pass without incident. I know the terror level was high and our officials were working hard for our ...

Tonight I just finished watching an hour program about President Bush's account of Tuesday September 11, 2001. The hour passed quickly and it for sure brought back some memories. I am sure you remember what you were doing when you got the news. I want to share my story of that day.

At that point of my life I was living in Tijuana, but still had a place in Laguna Hills California. I spent nearly every night in Tijuana and believe it or not I commuted to work in Dana Point California. I was working as ...

Today is the 21st anniversary of the death of my best friend Scott. I have been spending more time thinking about him, and it haunts me to say the least. I have to feel he had more to offer this planet than I do, but we can never make sense out of how life plays out.

His killer was a Black man. Now I say this because something I recently saw really made me sad. I did a search on his wife and I see her and his daughter listed on some site of  a White Hate ...

It is damn near 4am and I cannot sleep. Let's see if I can write. The upcoming party is very much on my mind, but that is not the only thing.

I still cannot believe Clarence is gone. People talk about Bruce's vision and when I hear his lyrics, it is like where does he get these names.

Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat

On Tuesday I did a few google searches for a childhood friend of mine. He is a doctor and best I can tell he is now in Indianapolis, but I was unable to get an e-mail address of phone number. I have not visited with him in at least 10 to 15 years and he is probably one of the few friends that would not be shocked at what I am doing. I did see where he has written lots of journals, etc. and is highly regarded in his chosen field. This is of no surprise to me. ...

Hope you are all doing well. Last night I am laying on my bed watching a program that I recorded recently. It was from that series on National Geographic where people are locked up abroad. I've seen 6 or 7 episodes and I really enjoy it. However I fell asleep and so I started rewinding, and then when I found a spot I had remembered, I saved it and went to bed. For at least 90 minutes I try to fall asleep and it is just not happening. How can it be that I want to stay awake ...
