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.

Celebrate! The Future Looks Grim.

Spending time watching the Tour de France. I managed to watch 3 days a day delayed without knowing the results. It is very hard to stay off the news, but that didn't last long. Thus far no complaints. Just wish I could watch it on my big screen. A Tour of the "Old Guys" as we see Cadel Evans defending title at his age. Have Chris Horner at 40 keep pounding the pavement and George Hincapie ride his historic 17th Tour. I had the pleasure to ride with both George and Chris in the past. Who would have guessed George would have accomplished this and Chris at the late age he started cycling be at the top of the game.

For the second time I have put off reading Dark Tower #4 Wizard And Glass and picked up the Sword & Laser monthly pick Leviathan Wakes. Not reading as much as I would want. This week still sick and just get home and do nothing. Not even gaming. Finally watched John Wayne's Hondo and did not find it a good story but as usual he plays his strong manly role.

I will be spending the 4th Of July working. Its "Ok" since I didn't get my daughter this year for the 4th. My ex made sure she bragged about that this week. I don't think she will ever grow up.

Have drill this weekend. The advancement results came in and not many picked up. A congratulations to the new HM2 White. He does deserve the rank as he can take responsibilities. Also to the new HM3s. From Sunday July 15 to the 27th  I will be at Camp Pendleton doing my duty at 4 North as usual. I do hope it goes smooth as usual and I get the days off I want.

Catch the No Agenda Show with Adam Curry and John C Dvorak. You deserve to know the truth.
