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.

Long Work Weekend. Done.

Started to put pictures around my home. Still waiting to get my bookshelves in and start to organize my books. Yes though I consume most my books in the "e" format I like to collect classic hardcovers. I never thought I would like e-books but in the past I tended to collect far too many paperbacks and they end up being boxed up.

Another drill weekend done. As always I plan on finding a nice corner to get lazy but that never happens. I always end up deep in work. This week I put myself in the lab for immunizations and blood draws. It has been a while since I've been there. Also this weekend we were graced with the presence of a US Navy Seal Chief (SOC) on the run this morning. Again a few new guys and getting them used to the procedure and around the lab. Doc Mejia and Doc Alcocer will be leaving us next month as they depart for a year long deployment in the Kandahar region to serve their honorable duties as US Navy Corpsmen. Again served as safety Corpsman for the PFA (Physical Fitness Test). The Seabees hooked us up with a nice BBQ. Too bad we didn't know until after our nasty chow. (Pictured is HM3 Aldrete drawing blood on himself. The skill!)

Finished up reading The Sword Of Shannara and found it entertaining. It was good to read a classic adventure book following a cast of characters on a search for a powerful artifact. My next read is the CS Lewis Cosmic Trilogy novellas and hope they are a fast read.

This week my daughter was introduced to the Ghost Busters. I'm sure next week she will be asking to see the movies. Slowly getting her to experience those special movies to forever remember.

Don't forget to catch the latest Sword & Laser Video Episode at the Geek & Sundry Channel. The dragon's name is discovered!
