A Day In The Life – Take 2

Last Friday we took a day trip and met up with friends Larry and Robin in San Francisco. The main reason? To see the Chihuly Exhibit at the DeYoung Museum. Dale Chihuly is the most famous glass artist working today and for good reason. Check out his wikipedia page to learn more about him or [...]

Just Plain Stupid – Part 1

Stupidity. It’s everywhere! As the chart shows, this is an especially stupid time. Code Red!
As part of a continuing effort, I will share some of the stupidest things I run across. Today we have some dense people in our second-favorite city, Seattle, courtesy of Seattle Metblogs.
“Suspects Kyle Burress and Allen Pierce broke into Fred Meyer in Monroe, WA, stole [...]

Sign Of The Times – Part 1

This is the first in a series of real, true signs that I found funny and interesting. The sign at right is cut off a little at the top. What it said was “Reptiles For Your Birthday”. Yep. It’s a company that will bring reptiles to your birthday party. Uh, ok….
Read it for yourself. Four foot [...]

A Day In The Life – Take 1

Yesterday Petra B was at an art class so I decided to start getting caught up on my Mixmasters CD reviews. Or get ONE done at least! (If you don’t know what Miximasters is, click here for the old web site then click on Mixmasters along the bottom of the page). And yes, I did [...]

A Mountain Of Rolling Stones!

Help! We’re up to our #$%!@ in Rolling Stone magazines! As you can see from the picture, even Prince can’t believe it!

Rivercats Game Is Hot And Smoky

We went to the Sacramento Rivercats baseball game last night. It was about 100 degrees (ouch!) when we got there and really smoky from all the fires burning up and down California. Ugh. Cough. Luckily, the sweat dried eventually and the temperature cooled into the 80s by the time the game ended nearly three [...]

Have You Read This Book?

It’s Nineteen Minutes by best-selling author Jodi Picoult. Apparently this is her 14th novel, but it’s the first one I have read by her. It won’t be the last. This was a really interesting look at a tragic event (a school mass-shooting), but more importantly about how it affected the lives of the people involved, [...]

The Record Swap

Last weekend there was a record swap at Bricka Bracka in midtown Sacramento. There were maybe a dozen or so local folks selling music. It was mostly vinyl, but there were some CDs and some other collectibles too. We found a few items, as we always seem to do. They’re not in our list of [...]

Goodbye To George Carlin

George Carlin died recently and the world is a little less funny. He was clever, crude, scathing, sarcastic, but most of all he was funny. His career spanned five decades. Check out this obit in the NY Times and learn more on Wikipedia. You can find lots of his routines here on YouTube, but keep [...]

Josephine And Jasmine

The granddaughters. The park. Yeah. It was great to see them since we don’t get to see them very often. As you can tell they are growing up and getting older. Petra made them each a beautiful glass necklace and we celebrated Josephine’s seventh birthday too.
The girls spent a lot of time playing on the [...]
