This past Sunday was a beautiful day. It was sunny and a nice breeze was blowing. A great day to be cruising out on the bay. This was confirmed by all of the other boats out on the water. Took a little four hour cruise checking out the bay and the sea lions sleeping on…

School started up for the San Diego area this week. I have been at school everyday for the past two weeks, weekends included, working long hours making sure the campus was ready for the incoming students. This evening was back to school night; which meant a good fifteen hour day for me. I am worn…

The first week of my current employment I was told by one of my employees that I communicate way too much. Having been employed there for just over seven months I understand why that comment was made. Communication is not the strong point for some of my peers. I am grateful that god has given…

Last night, fairly late in the evening, I looked at this website and saw that my brother had not posted a blog for the week. He had until Midnight so there was a good chance that he was not going to post a blog. This would have meant a free coffee for me. Well, this…

I believe that I have stated recently that I brought a boat down from Long Beach to San Diego. Two weeks into the new marina and I am very happy with the new home for the old gal. I washed her on Sunday July 7th and went back to her on July 13th and she…
