Soledad, the last formal event as part of my Grandfather’s funeral services. Other posts about this are here: Previously, previously, and previously. I semi-dropped off the grid,...

  Renaming I have this concept of a post where in an Andy Rooney-esqe manner I complain about things that get renamed. But really I’m not complaining so much as I think of things with their original name. Some examples of this are: The Del Mar Fair has been renamed “The San Diego Fair” and calling it...

  A very few milestones here at the end of 2008. We (Leah, the kids, and I) went to Utah for Christmas. We were terrified to return because of 5 inches of snow on the ground. We were happy that the roads were okay, and we didn’t have to use the ill-fitting chains we borrowed from my father-in-law. I shoveled snow once and enjoyed it. I...

  Latest Items That Made Me Laugh Mack Reed penned The Fastest Spider in Los Angeles, which charmed me and made me laugh. PCL Linkdump posted a link to a Simplicity Hammer Pants. Giggled at that one.

  And then, I tried to catch up with my blogreading. So I went almost a week without blogging, then the 4th of July happened, and now it’s the weekend. Now I can catch up with some blogreading, and perhaps I’ll share some of the things I find with you. Perhaps I’ll even share some of my own thoughts about this past week. Let’s start, shall...

  Around the Web Chuck got married. Mazel tov! There’s a Princess Bride Game, and I can’t quite tell if the thing is serious. These primitive sketches for some notable web sites are interesting. These four calendar pages are Surfrider Foundation. The pages make their point pretty well. Surfers versus Paparazzi. My bet would be on the surfers. John...

  Oh, right, blogging. Hi! Points that may or may not represent a plane. Had a nice father’s day. Got a Happy Father’s Day card from the kids and none of the four kids felt it necessary to add “step” to my appellation. A nice surprise. Drove by the beach yesterday, pretty. Talked to my Mom and Dad yesterday on...

  Oh, the incredible miscellany of it all; Who I’m reading these days Yesterday I saw the new Indiana Jones movie with Jukebox JT and his wife, and the seeing and the talking after was fun, but the movie is not, uh, good. But I don’t want to talk about that. I’ve got a backlog of stuff to mention. Ready? Go! I used to work with Electromute, I...

  Big Week Yesterday was great. We’re a part time big family. 11 for dinner, one of whom was a girlfriend, one of whom was a friend. Leah did amazing job with the meal, and our houseguests provided a smashing success of a dessert. Well, I say houseguests but I mean Heather. Incredible cook, she is. Anyhoo, no...
