Final night of US tour
Time to give my indie street cred another boost. I'm leaving shortly to head to the San Diego area to catch the final 2008 US show for Stereolab. Tonight's show at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach will be loads of fun. Perhaps the band will pull out a few surprises, as they have had few set-list variances from show to show. It will be good to ( Read more... ) -
Rest in Peace Sissy Cat
It was not an easy thing to do. To say goodbye. Sissy has been a member of the Garcia family for 19 years. She and I have been together for the last eight. It was obvious when I came home from work today that the time to say goodbye was here. She was behind the entertainment center in the living room. After about 10 minutes she stumbled out. Her ( Read more... ) -

The first one is of the lovely, gorgeous Laetitia Sadier (she is 40) and myself (Saturday - Sept 20 in Costa Mesa, CA). When I asked her if she'd take a picture with me, she said in her soft, sexy French ( Read more... ) -

Baseball is back....
The 2008 MLB season has already begun. I managed to catch a bit of both Oakland vs. Boston games from Japan this week in the wee hours of the morning. I woke up and remembered that they were on. The first game was a good one, except Boston won. The second one on Thursday morning was much more satisfying as Oakland won 5-1. I dvr'd that one ( Read more... ) -
Much happiness
Poetic justice has been emphatically served!! The Massholes will not be celebrating what most of the world expected, a Patriots Super Bowl win. It turns out my drive by to University of Phoenix Stadium on Saturday to hex New England actually worked!! No trifecta will be achieved anytime soon, given the Celtics' dominance in the NBA, and the Red Sox ( Read more... ) -
Opening night - Winter softball season
And it is raining, and will likely rain the entire day, according to the weather tracking satellites. I'd be surprised if we were not rained out. Bummer. See? We get rain sometimes in the desert, and it's rarely convenient. It never rains when you want it too, and it rains when you least want it to. -
Random thought...
Up until 53 days ago, I was still 37 years old. On my birthday next year, I will be 40.
Crazy, isn't it? In some illogical way, I am looking forward to that. What is wrong with me? -
Goin' Back to California
Forgive me LJ for I have sinned. It's been nearly three weeks since my last post. What am I saying? I posted last week in the U2 community about some unsual U2 cd that I just received off of eBay ( Read more... ) -
eBay
Shannon thinks I've turned into an eBay junkie. It started with a need for a brand new softball bat, and I purchased a Miken Freak 98. It is so sweet ( Read more... )
