Well, the title is no longer right. “This weekend” was actually last weekend but last weekend was too long to kill in one post (read This Weekend, Parts 1 and 2). So “This Weekend Part 3” was last weekend because it was too long and ran past the real...

This Weekend, Part 2: California’s Most Haunted House: That Whaley House
I love anything to do with haunted places. I have taken ghost tours all over the country: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago and New York just to name a few. And I am always interested in visiting places that have been known to be haunted. Now, that does...

Weekend Update: Thanksgiving
I know that I am suppose to update you only on my weekend, but there was so much more to go over. My special, long weekend actually started on Tuesday at noon. I know that is going to make for a longer post, which may bore the reader, but...

This Weekend: Where Do I Start? Part 1
I had a great weekend. In fact, it was such an awesome weekend, I am probably going to have to break it up into three different posts. That is because I did things I have wanted to do since I moved to San Diego. What really set me off...

Online Gaming Etiquette: What Not To Do On A Microphone
I play a lot of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. I love this game. Nothing gives me wood faster than a head shot with my modified Razorback machine gun. It blows a lot of stress (when I am doing well) and, because I have a lot of friends...

We Never Learn: An Argument Against Marijuana Legalization
The election is finally over and it is time to become critical about what had happened. I am not going to talk about the presidential election. We are hearing quite enough about that one and I do not need to beat a dead horse. But there is a few...

Book Review: The Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genius
I have decided to read the 100 books you must read before you die from the Amazon reading list (to see the list, visit my website listed below). Needless to say, I am not interested in the subject matter of some of the books. But I know that does...

Making Your Own Running Huaraches: Part 3
Making huarraches was easy. Now, time to get to the hard part: tying them to your feet. This is where shoe wearers have the advantage. Shoes go on either three ways: slip on, tying them or velcro. But with huarraches, there are dozens of ways to tie them....

Making Your Own Running Huaraches: Part 2
Huaraches are simple to make and inexpensive. But, not only that, they can last a very long time (mine have lasted longer than most of my shoes. Though I did not scour the roadways looking for tire treads, there are other materials that can be used to make these...

Making Your Own Running Hurraches: Part 1
For years, I have been a minimalist runner. I started with using zero drop shoes (these are shoes that have no lift between the heel and toe). These were nice because I was able to run the way I was meant to. But they cost an arm and a...
