It is home

Today I am actually writing this from my residence in Arizona; I love this place. I worked out in the gym within the complex that I live; they have separate gym’s for men and women. I was the only person in the gym when I went there to exercise. Life is good. I am grateful…

Family and Friends

This past week I was in the San Francisco Bay area on some personal business. I flew up Monday afternoon and took care of my business on Tuesday. I left the bay area today, Thursday. While I was there I stayed with the mother of one of my closest friends; I have known him and…

Watching

A little over a week ago I was presented with a new Samsung watch. I generally do not wear a watch; only when I officiate a soccer game. Then I wear two. I was given this watch and I have been wearing it almost twenty-four hours, seven days a week. I do like it. I…

Sarcasm

If I followed my brother’s example, I would right a post about how I am grateful for my pet and then I would share the YouTube video of Puff the Magic Dragon.  That is what this sarcastic person, that I am, would do. There are some upsides to sarcasm but there are some downsides as…

Time for Aloha

Today I am sitting on a lanai on the west coast of Maui, just North of Lahaina. In case you did not know, Lahaina was destroyed by fire just a few short months ago. It looks like a modern day Pompeii, except that devastation is still new and very real. You are not allowed to…

This past weekend I officiated a national,  women’s soccer tournament.   The players were from all over the country and 17 to 19 years old.   I officiated two games on Saturday and was scheduled to officiate two games on Sunday; but as usually happens they needed help covering one extra game.   Well one extra game can…

Spirits in the Sky

I do like Hank Greenbaum’s song, but I am not going to use it in my post. I person that I was talking with this past week told me that I was a Theologian. We were discussing that I was brought up in two different religions, I read the Book of Mormon when I was…

My Brother….

Yep!  Today I am grateful for my brother. He forgave me this week for getting my accountability list done a day late. He gave me the idea to write about him for today’s blog post and more importantly in doing so, he reminded me that today is Tuesday I need to write my blog post….

Strength

Two pieces of rope twined together are stronger than just one. Today I am very grateful for my one business partner.  She and I are able to have honest conversations, we are able to disagree as well as agree and in the end, whatever is decided unusually is best for our business and for us. …

Heart and Soul

This morning I woke up an hour earlier than I normally would; I woke up at 03:30.  I woke up early so that I could pack the car and drive from the Port of Los Angeles to the Las Vegas International airport where I picked up my partner.  Since I did not have to travel…

Is it Live or Memorex?

This week I was supposed to be traveling to Canada for a business trip; the trip was postponed by the Canadians so I stayed home.  Since I did not have to travel, my partner invited me to attend a jazz concert with her and two other friends out in Temecula; about an hour and a…
