I'm Blaming it on the Pirates...

Well Sports Fans - I think we've set a new record... It's been OVER a Month since my last posting here... Where does the time go? And no, I can't really blame the Pirates all that much. So, what's been happening? Let's see - Son Carl paid a visit to see his Sisters; Amanda had her 29th Birthday (OMG); We survived a Tsunami; Experienced the brightest Full Moon in 20 years; I bought an iPhone and have actually been able to use it...; Officially made it to Spring; And I survived a 2 day Child Care experience with 4 Chillin's under 10 (More importantly I think the Kidz did too)!! Ola! And what's new...? About the only thing that comes to mind is they're tearing up the sidewalks here in the neighborhood, well, actually the Driveways, evidently to make them more ADA compliant. Well - I think that's a load of crapola... Not that I'm against improving things for the quality of life of disabled Folks, but come on, all they've done is change the transition in and out of the Driveways by about an inch! Definitely not worth it from my POV. Never mind that we see about 1 wheelchair every two ~ three months... Sorry, but you asked - no, wait, you didn't did you? Next on the horizon (mine anyway) is I'm off to California next Monday! Hurray, Travel Time. Looking forward to seeing my High School Chum and Chief accommodation benefactor JC Agajanian - whom I'll be finalizing our HS Reunion Plans, hopefully checking in with the California Beach BBQ King, Sandy Saemann to get the latest on his HotDoggers venture, and then to take in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, along with the Hospitality of Sam's Autoland. Oh, and then there's a little side trip to visit long time Friend Marcus DeChevrieux for a weekend at Disneyland (gotta do it). And who knows what all else will come up - as there's never a dull moment on these trips. OK - I've checked in, made a feeble attmept at up-dating ya'll... so until next time, CIAO!
