Happy Halloween

, , , , / 1 minute of reading

I was sitting in one of those not quite fast food, but not a place with waiters type restaurants last night. It was getting late and I was in a neighborhood I was not really familiar with. Here I am in this silly costume, wearing shorts and no facial hair. I am not sure what I would have thought if I had seen me, but I have my doubts that a lifetime biker would be on the list. My picture of the day for the last day of October was taken at the Halloween party I attended last night.

A Very New Me

So, I wanted to participate in this fundraiser put on by the Movember Foundation, which is raising funds for and awareness of men’s health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer. The catch was that you had to start off clean shaven, something I had not been since 1971! After a little thought, and talks with Tanya and another friend, I put the word out that if I raised $1,000 I would shave it all off. 45 hours later the goal was met. My photo of the day is a screen grab from the video that was taken while I shaved …

The month of November has been designated by The Movember Foundation as the month for raising funds for and awareness of men\’s health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer. As part of the month-long campaign, men around the world are being encouraged to grow a moustache for the month. As you know, I already had a beard and moustache (for 39 years), but I wanted to participate. After talking to a couple friends, I decided to set up a Movember account then announce on Facebook, a few of my sites and some industry forums that when I had $1,000 in …

Just Vote

The mid-term elections are just around the corner. I had a long story ready to cut and paste here, but I was afraid some people would read it as being supportive of one party or another. I do not want to do that here. My photo for Project 365 today is of my outgoing mail. Absentee voting is so much easier. Check it out.

Take Charge and Wii Did It

My loyal readers probably recall a post or two in which I mentioned that I had started using the Wii Fit. According to Wii I should weigh 167 pounds. Now, we all know that is never going to happen, and in fact, it would not even allow me to set that as a goal as it seems to have a 25 pound limit. So, I set my goal for losing 25 pounds in a year. Extensive travel makes weight control very difficult, at least for me. It is difficult to get good food on the road. Those last five pounds …

Sprouts Farmers Market

, , , , / 1 minute of reading

Anyone that really knows me knows that shopping is not really my thing. For me to have a favorite store or a store I am somewhat excited about is rare indeed. Last week I discovered Sprouts Farmers Market. I was actually looking for one of those outdoor farmers market setups when I found Sprouts in Google. I read a couple reviews and decided I had to check it out for myself. Since I am getting into juicing it seemed like the natural thing to do. Am I ever glad I did. In the past, I have found that shopping for …

It Must Be Fall

, , , , , , / 1 minute of reading

As I have mentioned several times over the past few weeks, the weather here has been weird. It reminds me more of Ireland than Southern California. When I look around there is a semblance of Fall. That must be what it is. If I had not visited other places in the country, I may not have recognized it. My photo of the day for day 299 is of me during my morning walk. It does look like the leaves fell, alright. It must be Fall.

28 Years Ago

28 years ago today, I became a father for the first time. I will never forget that day from the endless hours waiting for her to come out to getting splattered in the face with blood when I cut the umbilical cord. The doctor found that particularly funny. The nurses had to pry her from my arms, promising that they would return her after they cleaned her up and took her vitals. My picture of the day for day 298 is of me, pondering how the heck that could have been 28 years ago. Happy birthday, Jessica.

California Highway 99 – Bakersfield

Photos From California Highway 99 Sandrini\’s Italian Restaurant Sunday was a very long day. Even though we started off in Ripon, making all the stops we made turned a four hour drive into a 10 hour drive. We ended up in Bakersfield around 7:00 or 8:00 PM and we were hungry. Every restaurant that Tanya found on her Android was closed or no longer existed. Then we found Sandrinis. When we first arrived we were informed that all they had available was \”bar food.\” I guess the guy could tell this was not what I wanted to hear and he …

Another One of Those Days

, , , , , , / 1 minute of reading

There is really nothing quite as irritating as waking up to problems. Especially problems that spider outwards to cause problems in multiple locations. Sunday was one of those days. Luckily, I have a smart and talented girlfriend and by the end of the day it was just a matter of playing the waiting game. My project 365 photo for day 297 is of me while walking Buddy. Was a nice day. Too bad I had to spend it primarily inside.
