I am Natalia's daddy! My latest happenings as well as my lil' girls happenings will be posted here as I live them.

I like to read science fiction, fantasy as well as classics and comics. Always looking for recommendations. Like to play video games and board games. Love to watch old movies and shows, as I find them relaxing and entertaining. Last but not least. like to feed the birds and do some gardening.

Proud to be a US Navy Corpsman veteran and part of the Southwest Region Funeral Honor Guard.

Wow!

Wow! is all I can say after finishing Catching Fire. I found this second book more engaging than Hunger Games. In Hunger Games you can see how the story will unfold, but the second book found me wanting to read more and getting excited at what may come next. This book even left you hanging at the end. I hope my reading partner keeps her mouth shut and doesn't spoil anything for me (you know who you are).

Instead of diving right in to the Mockinjay, I decided to read a some hard sci-fi. I started the second book in the Time Odyssey to give me that guilty pleasure. Hopefully a fast read.

Hopefully I get enough energy today to jump in the kitchen and get it almost fully done. So far energy levels are low.

A little on politics. I've been a good boy and never bring this topic up, but it seems Newt may be out of the race as well. That leaves Romney and Paul. I am very excited about that. I am on the Ron Paul camp, as to me it is a no "brainer" why anyone wouldn't want what  he stands for. However Romney winning the Republican ticket would also be very nice.
