Peace, Love and Fraternity

Today I read the January Newsletter for a Catholic High School located in San Diego California.  The head of the school wrote that God has placed us exactly where we should be.  This made me feel good.  Actually I felt great!  I started a new job this week at this High School.  I am their…

What is new?

Life is in a state of constant motion. If it is not, you are dead! I am so very grateful that I am still healthy enough to move with life. Sometimes I make a mistake and move in the wrong direction; fortunately life has a way of putting me back on the right path. I…

Kris Krinkles

I had a wonderful Christmas weekend. I was able to watch all of my favorite Christmas movies, including a marathon of the different versions of A Miracle on 34th Street. It was relaxing, hanging with family in Lake Havasu; eating way too much food. As I look forward to this new year that is coming…

Viva la Revolucion

This past week was spent relaxing and working on the Sea of Cortez. What a wonderful birthday week. There is change in the air and I am excited to see what this new year will bring. I am grateful for change and for all that I get to experience in this life.

“And in everyone’s life, comes a little rain.”

The question is, are you upset because something happened in your life that at the moment seems like you are getting rained on or do you just pull your coat around you a little tighter and continue to move forward. I am so very grateful for all of the wonderful people in my life who…

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…
