This past weekend I officiated at a soccer tournament in Mesa Arizona for the Elite Clubs National League, (ECNL), boys, Under 15 and Under 16. This was a great tournament. I was able to watch teams from all over the country play as well as officiate with other referees from all over the country. I…

I’m not really sure what I am grateful for this evening, as I take up my duties of posting to this blog I share with my brother. I am certainly grateful for him in my life. And for my children; and their Mom, Liz. Friends, Family, peers of all stylies and types. Both my brother…

Well, I am grateful that my daughter locked herself out of the apartment – so I got a sleep-over last night. And I am grateful she helped me run lines… And my son is helping me run lines tonight. So, I remain, immensely grateful for my children in my life.

I wonder what is up with me being so critical of people, sometimes? Especially when I am driving on the highways. I am grateful that there is someone in my life who reminds me that I do not know their situations and that I should not get upset with them. Peace, Love and Happiness…..

Today I learned that Jonah is accepted to one of the UCs he applied to. It is to an excellent university. So, though not his first choice – things are looking good for his academic career. Buddy is visiting a possible new home. So far, things are looking very good with that. A new platform…

Today I worked on a boat charter for Prince Charters, out of Huntington Harbor, Huntington Beach California. We had Thirty people aboard; it was just me, the Captain and a bar-tender. I usually only run like this when I am an assistant referee on a higher level, boys, soccer game. Fortunately it was a beautiful…

Tonight, I am grateful for all my friends… I include my family as friends; and my friends as family. Tonight, I lay me down to rise tomorrow and go get a friend; get him a bit closer to home. Maybe, because, what is home? When are we home? It does seem, I’m a whole lot…

As brief as it may be, I am so very thankful to be able to spend a full day with my partner Grace. She makes my life very happy. I am also very grateful that I was able to spend a day with my daughter, god-daughter and my “brother from another mother” on Saturday. We…
