I had registered for the Carlsbad Half Marathon back in November. I have done the marathon for the last three years but did not feel I was in shape to try it this year. But I knew, no matter how fluffy I got, I could man-through a half...

“Everything Is Awesome…” – Our Trip to Legoland
Josie, my girlfriend, used to work at Legoland in Carlsbad, California. She made some really good friends there, including her old boss. She is always looking to do things with her kids and decided it might be nice for them to go spend a day there. So she called...

Book Review: Through the Looking Glass
Frigging Amazon! I am going through Amazon’s list of “100 Books to Read Before You Die” and “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” was one of the books on the list. I have actually wanted to read this book because it was written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) who is...

Clearing the Pathways: An Egyptian Solution to the Flu
As you know from my last post, I have been sick. Worse, I have the flu. And I have it good. It has been five days and I still have a very heavy chest and congestion in my head. I am also coughing like there is no tomorrow and...

Ugh! (Sniff)
I am so frigging sick (spell check didn’t flag “frigging”. Thank, God! I don’t think I could have handled that). I wanted to spend the day writing something with incite and was deep. Something that would make the seas rise, the earth shake and the birds sing. But I caught...

My New Year’s Resolution…NOT!
My life and what I believe in have been a series of metamorphosis. As a youngster, I would believe in something. As I became a young adult, my beliefs would change (usually to the opposite of what I believed in before). And, now, that I have reached middle age...

Movie Review: Rob Zombie’s 31
There are times in life when you just want to watch mindless entertainment. When I say mindless, I mean drool-dripping-from-the-lips mindless. I am not even concerned with dialog. If I can watch a movie where I do not remember a single line of dialog, I know I have found...

A Discovery Worth More Than Money (or Whatever the Currency Is)
I was going through my website and I realized something: I have had the thing for six years. Over those years, I have hundreds of blog entries. But I noticed that there were periods I did not write at all. That is when my buddy introduced me to Steemit....

Political Correctness Strikes Again – Episode Whatever
It is time for my political rant today. So a perused Twitter and found the following article: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2016/12/28/steve-martin-deletes-twitter-tribute-to-carrie-fisher-after-backlash.html I follow Steve Martin. I look forward to his Tweets (are you suppose to capitalize “Tweets”?). I do not sit and stare at Twitter (I actually have a job), so...

Book Review: Watership Down – A Tribute to Richard Adams (1920-2016)
I was in the fourth grade when I read Richard Adam’s book “Watership Down”. This book was a turning point in my life. It was the first book I read that was over four hundred pages and it was going to be a stretch for me. But I knew...
