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.

Oh The Things That Happen To Me!

Natalia had her Valentine's day party at school and came home with a bunch off real nice homemade items from her friends. Also can't forget another small stash of candy. No hikes these days as Natalia rather stay at home and play around. Still need a few more rocks for my planter in the front yard.

Our local library has another nice program, where reading 50 books by the end of the month gets us a cool bag. Wow! Natalia and me are going for it! Finished reading Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here and I can say - WOW! A book written in the 1930s and so much if what Lewis wrote can be seen happening today. A book everyone must read. What to read next?

"He continued to tell himself that his main ambition was to make all citizens healthy, in course and mind, and that if he was brutal it was only toward fools and reactionaries who wanted the old clumsy systems."

- Sinclair Lewis


Still got the touch or skills. Revived an old rapid fire shifter on a Bontrager bike I bought about a year ago. Now the front one may need some love as well. Got a set of used bars to fit my small body and got rid of the super wide riser bars and 130mm stem. Now to clean up good, get rid of those lame pedals and maybe take her on a maiden voyage soon. Hoping to find more parts from her time, especially a nicer seat. 

Another trip to court and another continuation. This will never end. Been dragged for almost a year her fake allegations and no final ruling. At least It didn't cost me hundreds of dollars to be sent home again as usual. So sad that the system drags these fake allegations. Sad that someone lies so much and doesn't even spend that much time with their daughter. It all comes down to money for lawyers and in the end a few dollars for support while the child suffers and I truly fear will have a good happy up bringing.

In the many things that only happen to me, I got a call from the Navy asking me where I am at. Just when I thought I fulfilled my 8 year contract, someone put in a 4 month extension for me. I had no idea, requested or signed any such agreement. But somehow they have paperwork that can't be produced. Someone screwed up and finger pointing I am sure was everywhere. How could such a thing happen? Really?! It's the Navy! So four more months for me. No big deal.

Please take the time to listen to the No Agenda Show and cut through all the lies and manipulation the media and government engage in. John and Adam just cut through it all for the real news. Don't live in fear but simply sit back and laugh and know what is next.
