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.

Planting Of A Tree. Departing Of Courage.

Astronaut Neil Armstrong has passed away at the age of 82 on the 25th of August, 2012. We also lost this week Sally Ride whom was the first female astronaut. Many of us take for granted Neil's accomplishments as well as all the early astronauts. Without their courage and will to expand humanity we could not be where we are today. It is that spirit that affects many of us today.

Well, I fell in love with a tree at Lowe's and stuffed it in the car and took it home. I hope it doesn't die on me. Pictured is Natalia posing in front of it. You can say the tree planting means setting roots in this new house. Took Natalia to Lake Arrowhead to feed the ducks and walk around on Thursday. As usual she wants to come home. After dinner on Thursday Natalia started to show a runny nose and as I write she is a little sick. But that never hampers her spirits.

Pictured by Anthony Zahn is the London Bridge with the Olympics logo hanging. Evidence that London Bridge is not falling down. Anthony's first event is Thursday August 30.

Finished reading Joe Haldeman's Forever War and loved it. I got into the characters. Makes you think if their war is much like ours and the time travel concepts are great. I have to read Forever Free as it is the true sequel to their story. However it seems impossible to find this book in digital format. Only in print from a few sources. Why is it so hard to find.

Video game season is slowly approaching as the dry days of summer slowly come to an end. First off is the new Transformers Fall Of Cybertron game which is getting good reviews. I did enjoy the previous game and look forward to playing this one.

Below is a small clip of the Armstrong and Aldrin landing on the moon. Their discovery of the space ship from Cybertron on the dark side was not taped.
