I am in the middle of planing my often delayed return trip to Europe. It has taken me forever to get everything organized (and am still trying to do so). What has struck me is just how much more expensive it is – even since 2002. Most hotels in London are now $200 a night and the airfare is over $700. To boot, the Euro…
September 9, 2007A nice 4.7 Jolt this morning centered in the Santa Ana Mountains. To me who was lying in bed (yes I sleep in on the weekends) it was a slight roll then a jolt and that was about it, nothing too major. We are due for a moderate to large seismic event in Southern California and fall is rapidly approaching. Make sure you stock up…
September 2, 2007This past week we were all jolted by the news that Doug from work passed away from a long battle with Cancer. I worked with him for a few years at my Dad’s shop and had many occasion to talk with him then and of course growing up. Doug worked with my Dad for over 30 years and was practically a member of the family.…
September 2, 2007Had a great time with Mom, Gary, and Daniel at Del Mar. I managed to win something on all but 2 races – no big paydays though I missed $1000 by 1 horse.
August 25, 2007Well I am back from a bit of a hiatus! I went ahead and updated my photos from my two weekend getaways – Solvang and San Francisco. The trip to Solvang includes a stop over at the Kwik-E-Mart in Burbank. I thought it was rather cleverly done, despite the fact the Buzz Cola and the donuts were a little nasty tasting. Speaking of Simpsons, I…
August 13, 2007Time away has been hard to come by, but I was able to sneak away for two weekends – one to Solvang and the other to San Francisco. I will post more photos soon!
August 9, 2007Today is my last day of my four day weekend and I had big plans to do laundry and to work on Club Josh. I have been frustrated because I cannot find my flash card reader. This is an essential piece to get the photos out of my digital camera and onto Club Josh. I think I might have to go and get a new…
July 23, 2007Today was another special treat this year at work. The Stanley Cup – the championship trophy for the National Hockey League (for those of you living under a rock) paid a visit to the resort today and the Submarine Voyage. It was a bit chaotic around the attraction this morning, but I was able to get a few snaps of the trophy on the ride…
July 12, 2007A nice warm So Cal night at DCA’s signature spot. It is always nice to take a stroll through the parks.
July 7, 2007I stopped by the Apple store in Costa Mesa and to my suprise it wasn’t too crazy. They appeared to have plenty of iPhones in stock and there was a group of hard core nerds with their MacBooks activating their phones. I held one and compared it to my Q. It is just a bit thicker but not noticeable. Had I not just got the…
