Let’s see, gotta put my thinking hat on a bit for this one. Mr Garza’s gig at the Continental Club, inspiring to say the least. He only played a few of what he called ‘Christmas Songs’ (i.e. old favorite ‘hits’), instead he focused in improvisation and experimentation to the sparse crowd. The guy has to [...]
The poster outside my cube that the auditor deemed ‘offensive,’ and I had to take down.
Goin’ to this place as a kid I was amazed, still it is pretty fascinating. Not many pictures came out, but Flickr has tons of them taken of caves and stuff like that. Ronnie, Jr, and Mom, throwing up some random signs in front of the start of the ‘big room’ tour. Josh, Ashton and [...]
White Sands Missle Range, yes it does look like you are on the moon. We learned that many episodes of ‘Lost in Space’ were filmed out here in this environment. Josh and I throwin’ up the deuces on top of one of the dunes. Here’s one of the dunes, once we were on top, Josh [...]
A healthy hop, skip and jump from Roswell, across an Indian reservation yielded Alamogordo, site of Trinity, the first a-bomb test. I wanted to eat Thanksgiving on an Indian Reservation, even though there’s really no way to honor and dignify the way we handled the ‘original homeland security.’ The Alamogordo Golden Corral was just splendid [...]
Roswell, a city with aliens, or weather balloons or whatever was the place we intended to eat Thanksgiving dinner, however, on arriving in the town, low and behold most things were closed, including the alien museums and such. Rest assured, one day I will make it out the the UFO Festival. My mummy found this [...]
Putting it all into perspective days later, we ‘set sail’ from Shiner this morning, the goal was to get Ashton and Josh out of Texas, and do something different this year for Thanksgiving. So we gased up the van, and Jr, Ronnie, Mom, Josh, Ashton and I headed west. You can’t put this into perspective, [...]
What can I say about the boys from My Morning Jacket, Stubbs BBQ, other than fantastic. Mike D at least remember the show this time, as himself, myself and my brother in law Shannon painted the town. We had a set of ‘goals’ to be reached for the evening, and all of them were met, [...]
What a day for family bonding, a trip to San Gabriel Park for a stroll, the light saber battles, and random backyard antics, that yet again throws my back into a tailspin. Right by the water, Grant, Meagan and Kman throw up their GQ looks. Later the geese (I think that’s what those things are) [...]
I recently read somewhere on TED and interesting article on things you believe to be true, but you can’t prove, and I started thinking about this topic, and about what I think, but alas, what I can’t prove, here’s the short list Love conquers all, means many things to many people, but in most cases [...]
