Are Those Hot Wheels Inside That Coach?

Natalia is now 5 years old! Another great week for Natalia full of gifts. More dress up items, Hot Wheels, clothes, a red fire truck and her first purse. It has been great for me to be here and experience all this with Natalia and my parents. This weekend we wait for the 3 Kings to stop by the house and drop off some gifts for Natalia and me. I hope they don't leave a mess as they have in the past.

The snow melting and not many good spots to go playing. So I went to my secret place and got in some good runs. I, however got a workout and some sweating pulling Natalia into and around the woods in search for some nice slopes.

The story again out here has been the traffic. For some reason this year highway 330 has been used much and causing hours of delays while highway 18 has been somewhat clear. In the past highway 330 has been a bit unknown by many but locals and was always the sure way up faster. Not this time around. The worse of this has been those stopping in the middle of the road to chain up or worse, to play in the snow in traffic. It will always amaze me the lack of common sense and security for their children.

I got to go back out again on a mountain bike ride again with my people after a long hiatus and it was short and easy but that is never the issue. It is about getting out there together. Again another stroll to Mt. Roubidoux in Riverside in pretty cold conditions but by the end it started to warm up and back to work for me. I do hope we get together again as many Sundays as possible. This weekend I have what may be my last drill weekend. Not really feeling it anymore and that can be a good thing. However to wear the uniform is a great thing and an honor.

"We live as we dream. Alone."

Are dreams real? Natalia asked me this and I would have to say yes. We spend a good percentage of our existence here sleeping and in a dream state. So why can't that be real as oppose to when we are awake. In the end all experiences are kept in the mind and processed by your mind which is the same as dreaming.

This summer we see another Marvel movie and this one taking another obscure character in the Ant Man. From what they did with Guardians of the Galaxy I can expect this one to also be entertaining. One complaint is that I dislike the main actor and hope to get past that.
