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.

Normal Quiet Days!

Normal quiet days since the past post and all I can think of is - "The calm before the storm". BBQ pork shoulder I smoked the other day, came out decent but it needed about an hour more. Next time I think 250 degrees is the ticket. Also will try another rub. Saturday on my "trash run" I saw that again the Saturday market started in town and this time it was rather large and stopped by. As the book junkie that I am I picked up a few books and stopped by the library and finally got me a library card. Spent a bit of time around there and in the park with Natalia.

Again threats from my "ex" wanting to take Natalia away from me. I am starting to think, why? Again blamed for her being sick when I picked her up last week and she wasn't there to drop her off. Again no reply on where she was that morning and I have no clue on where Natalia lives or spends her time. Always very secretive. In time this will change as Natalia grows up.

Actually sat down this week and watched two movies. Watched Last Stand and found it entertaining to my surprise. Also watched Parker and was hoping for more there but a familiar story and not much of a "ride". Still slowly moving through my current read in The Mote in God's Eye and it is entertaining. Can't wait to finish it and start The Last Threshold and see what may be Drizzt's last story (somehow I doubt that).

I have to say that I have been keeping up with cycling news a little bit and watched the Tour of California and finally seen a race that looked clean, believable and exciting to see this. I know the sport is not clean by any means and never will as we can see with DiLuca getting caught this past week.

Geek News - Prometheus 2 movie is moving along and may be a reality as casting is starting and the story is being developed. In the meantime I ran across this great article there on more backstory to the universe from the Aliens video game >>. Been watching a bit of miniature gaming videos from Mini War Gaming among others, and I am starting to get hooked again. Maybe when I get back from my "trip" and have time and money. The XBOX ONE and the PS4 have finally made official announcements and will be out this year.
