Ben woke up just after midnight making a dreaded but familiar sound which filtered into our room and had us up for most of the night (more Kerri than me of course). Croup seems to be here once again. I heard just a hint of it yesterday morning with a few random coughs [...]

Two simple reasons might explain the inevitable demise of the GOP: 1. They’re currently in power and abuse of power runs ramped. 2. Most people simply don’t trust the government and they “run” the government now. I don’t think you’ll find lifelong Republicans voting for Democrats [...]

I only got to catch the 4th quarter and couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw how many points he had then. He ended with 81 points for the night, second only to Wilt Chamberlain’s great 100 point game years ago. Crazy!

Yes, I know today was the second half of Wildcard Weekend for the NFL but it also happened to be one of the most gorgeous Winter days I can recall. So Kerri, the kids and myself packed up and went to the Santa Barbara Zoo. I’m sure I’ve described this zoo before; It [...]

My “homies” for the last several years have been Ben and Abigail. Kerri is working today and the three of us are hanging out. We’ve had lots of motorcycle and scooter time outside as well as Play-Doh fun inside. Ben and I play catch with the football while Abby runs up and [...]

Texas: 41 — USC: [...]

I was born and raised in Southern California but my fleeting college football fanhood has always tended towards the Bruins of UCLA. I have to admit that through half of last year and all of this one I couldn’t keep my eyes off USC, if only because of their excellence (in spite of my [...]

Early this morning, I’m not sure of the time (between 1am and 3am), Abby came in to our room to tell us that she got a bit scared from a dream or from waking up in the darkness. She went towards Mom first but was then directed towards me. It was dark and [...]

According to Einstein, I’m not. If you prefer your brain scrambled, click here. I ended up with a massive table trying to link everything together but could not come any closer to figuring this out than guessing who killed who in Clue. I’m dumb, thank you.

As I look back on 2005 one thing stands out as a stellar point in the year: After 34 years on this rock I finally realized that daily events provide all the satisfaction I could ever hope for. I’m not going to ooze sap all over you but it’s quite the remarkable feeling and [...]
