I am not sure if I packed enough into this day. It's busy time at work - month end close - and I processed a lot. We had a Big Event in the Cafe which took a lot of my attention throughout the day. A long lost member who we were all worried about returned.... Continue Reading →
Sleepy sleepy quick thoughts
I had set aside time tonight to do some writing here, but I am too sleepy. That time of the month combined with less sleep than I wanted last night and I need to crash early tonight.Tried the "O" brand organic cheese lasagna tonight - it was YUMMY. DS2 and I each had two pieces.... Continue Reading →
Politics Part 2 – Choice
I thought Part 2 would be on social aid programs. But I would have been missing a step. Before I encountered that issue personally, I came face to face with an unplanned pregancy. At 19. While I was just beginning my second year of college. I was classically undereducated on birth control. A completely sheltered... Continue Reading →
Political disclaimer – preamble to Part 2
Seems appropriate given the events of the last two days to continue this train of thought. Since I have shared this blog with people, I want to point out that my political reflections are intended not to send a message to those on the opposite side of the fence, nor am I inviting debate here...

Padres sign Piazza!!
We interrupt this regularly scheduled lazy Sunday for the following announcement: Mike is Padre!! Holy shit!! Ok, see..DS2's first word was Mi-KEY. That's because I was a passionate Piazza and Dodger fan from 95-97. I grew up bleeding Dodger blue and was just about to re-focus my attention to the Padres when this amazing catcher...

Another milestone
We just realized in the Cafe chat that has been a year since our little group was formed. I cannot imagine my life without my bob-friends! What a wonderful, loving group of spankers wankers and pervs 🙂 Coincidentally (or not!) I received my copy of a book of poems written by one such friend this... Continue Reading →
Politics Part 1
My first awareness of a political issue was at UCSD in 1984. I was 19. I have always appreciated the environment. I started bird watching when I was 10 and it is still a passion of mine. Obviously that makes for lots of walks outdoors 🙂 Also, I grew up in Southern California. Orange County... Continue Reading →
Mark this date
My magazine rack is empty. Thanks to the sinus headache that started yesterday morning and then roared back this afternoon with a vengance sending me home early, I have finished my magazine reading pile. This is quite a rarity :->
Health check in
Grumble...no tummy issues from the cheesecake, but what was I thinking in general? Fri night we went to Souplantation for dinner and I had frozen yogurt for dessert! That on, top of the cheesecake, has probably triggered the sinus headache that woke me up at 6:00am today. I finally broke down and took a Claritin... Continue Reading →
Lazy Saturday check-in with preview
So far today: worked out, coffee run, nail appt, finish 1099's for baseball managers as well as their paychecks for Jan, filed DS1s taxes (using Tax ACT this year which I like), updated my budget and paid bills, logged baseball dues payments and ran c/cs. Oh yeah, and laundry. Thank heavens DS2 completed all his... Continue Reading →
