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.

Where's Winter?

Not writing much as things here are always the same and I can't talk about work. What I will say is that I am now looking forward to getting out of here. I've done all aspects of the job here and a little disappointed at the command here but that seems to be the norm. Soon we will loose a big part of the team and that spot may be hard to fill. In such a short time I have come to get close with very few people and the time is slowly coming to part ways.

"My greatest skill in life has been but to want little"
 
- Henry David Thoreau 

I am running more and more and hope to maintain that regimen. I am working to 10k with a good pace and slowly upping that distance to 15km. Also doing more trail runs, which are slowly getting boring as not many choices for trails. Reading also has been a big part of my time here and lately re-read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman as well as Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Now reading one of these popular thrillers in The Fifth Assassin by Brad Meltzer.

Weather here is the same everyday as you can see by the picture. Early February and beach weather every day here. Many like this but I always welcome some kind of change to remind me of the movement of time. As someone put it to me the other day- "It is like Groundhogs day everyday here". I sit outside and read while taking in the quietness and peace while present as this will not always be.

So far everything has been good with Natalia as I try to call her as much as possible considering my schedule. Every time she is having a great time with my parents and I can't wait to get home and see her face and get back to normal.
