Rose Parade 2010
Is there a better way to start off the new year than to go to the Rose Parade? There might be. But this year, there was no better way to celebrate the new year than to head down to Pasadena, California, and find a spot on the parade route. One of Skye’s students... »
Kiska Drive Rat Dog Man
When we got home, there was a part of me that wished I pulled a Bruce Lee meets Chuck Noris on this looser but what good would that have done. Skye tells me we did the right thing, and I know we did. It makes me think how lucky I am. ... »

I am writing from Southern California so I am not speaking for everyone in the country, I can only write about... »
New Biometric Door Lock Installed

I Found My Office…
Well, much to my surprise, I was roaming around the house after I put my son to bed and came upon a door, the door looked familiar yet somehow different. Beyond the door I found my office. We have been using it as a storage room since our remodeling fiasco started. Improvements on the office... »
