I feel the need to write. So, I do. Free flowing thought. I saw two movies over this past weekend. The Italian Job was a fun ride. The other movie is called Tully. I think it is an Indie film. I got it from Netflix. Yea, I belong to that service. Actually I am very happy with it. I find it to be incredibly convenient and inexpensive (compared to ( Read more... )

I am feeling very stressed.  I was out of town this past weekend at fire school.  I will be at fire school next weekend too and then on Monday I have to go to Brownsville, TX.  Too much travel. Plus, this week I have fire dept on Tuesday and Thursday. I am double booked both nights since I have an appointment with my nutritionist on Tuesday and on ( Read more... )

I decided to stay near LAX even though my appointments were in Riverside (about 1.5 hours away). I wanted to be close to “the action” and also close to my sister who lives about 45 minutes north.  I actually could not wait to get to the airport on Monday because it was turning out to be a very crazy day.  I had an unscheduled meeting in the morning ( Read more... )

Last week while in Chicago, your friendly neighborhood Superhero tripped on some stairs and got a “boo-boo” on his foot.  It was not a very suave move and probably hurt his ego more than his foot.  So, Jack has been limping ever since.  He does not really talk about it except to say that there was [very little] alcohol involved.  No, it does not ( Read more... )

I am back from Chicago and I thought as a public service, I would tell you about where to eat.

Let’s start with pizza of course!  If there is one thing culinary Chicago is known for it the stuffed pizza. No, not Uno’s. That is the McDonalds of the stuffed pie.  When in Chicago you really need to go to Giordano's (12 locations).  Yea, you can get ( Read more... )

I love to travel, which is one reason I love my job.  I am on the road about one week out of the month. I enjoy listening to books on tape during my 45 minute [one way] commute to and from the office.  I love the adrenaline rush of being on a call at the fire department.  Adrenaline is one of my other drugs.  I am a big history buff so not only do ( Read more... )

I was really looking forward to our trip to New Orleans. When I had told friends how much I was looking forward to it, they told me that I would not have that much fun with my wife there.  Jen was offended when I told her what they had said.

“I know how to have fun and I don’t mind looking at boobs.  They just don’t know me very well.  They ( Read more... )

On the first of the year, we arrived back home from our holiday in New Orleans.  It started out bumpy with several disagreements, but I think we both ended up enjoying ourselves.  We also learned a few things about ourselves.  The big thing being that we should take separate vacations.

We arrived into town on the morning of Boxing Day and made it ( Read more... )
