Arrived late Thursday night after facilitating my NAMI Connection support group back in San Diego and was ready for training the next day.

I was very excited about going especially for the museum action. I have been to a couple … Continue reading December Nights and Night out in with the Boyz.
A Rossignol Thanksgiving in Santa Monica
So, my Thanksgiving post is a little late. If you ask me Thanksgiving and Christmas come way too close together. There should be a law against scheduling holidays within 30 days of each other. This was my second Thanksgiving in California, and my mom's brother (Uncle Lee and his family) happen to live in Santa … Continue reading A Rossignol Thanksgiving in Santa Monica
Football Sunday

Watch … Continue reading Football Sunday

Silver Strand Half Marathon
The nerves and excitement for the race Sunday morning woke me up around 4:45am. I didn't want to oversleep. So I got up, got dressed. Made my oatmeal. I had important things to do within the hour before we left like pin my bib to my belt. Attach my D-tag to my shoelaces. I took … Continue reading Silver Strand Half Marathon

Josh Groban @ Balboa Theatre
Sunday night I was invited to go to a Josh Groban concert downtown with my dear friend Bruce. I haven't been to too many concerts and plus Josh has an amazing voice so I jumped at the opportunity. We took the trolley from Mission Valley to the Civic Center, and walked maybe a block to … Continue reading Josh Groban @ Balboa Theatre
Bath time for Bail-Bail
Yes. Bailey. Its Sunday. Time for a bathy. He will groan and whine, yank the leash, lay down on the concrete dragging his claws along the concrete on the way with his tail between his legs. I wanted to show some pictures of how much of a struggle it is, to bathe Bailey. Well, we … Continue reading Bath time for Bail-Bail
Good morning San Diego!
Well I woke up this morning and my biological alarm didn't wake me up until 6:45 am. After a quick breakfast of oatmeal and orange juice, I was off for my morning run.

I must say since I was young I have always enjoyed … Continue reading Football Sunday and Winston’s Bar in Ocean Beach
Singing in the Rain, what a wonderful feeling!
This morning in San Diego it was raining outside. A few months ago, I would have looked out the window and thought to myself, "Pffffftttt", or "I don't think so". Immediately after I would have laid back down and never given it a second thought. My former self, was to put it bluntly, lazy and … Continue reading Singing in the Rain, what a wonderful feeling!
Halloween Potluck at NAMI San Diego
(UPDATED OCT 29,2010 8:02PM) Okay. Now I had no idea what I was going to be when I woke up this morning. I went to my chiropractic appointment and everyone was dressed in costume Dr. Seuss style. That inspired me to get serious with my costume idea. I had to do something different this year. … Continue reading Halloween Potluck at NAMI San Diego
The Degenerative Generation
It happens to all of us over time. I am referring to the degeneration of ourselves, our bodies over time. The inevitability of arthritis. The impending doom of back pain.
