Week 36: Helping Habitat for Humanity
It’s dark, it’s hot, and I’m sure the little black specks I see are mouse droppings. I’m on vacation, and I’m crawling around in the attic of a rehab Habitat for Humanity home. Yes, an exciting vacation indeed! *** There are many ways to give back to the community and…

Week 35: Floating Away
I feel like I’m floating on air. This must be how it feels like if clouds were your mattress. I close my eyes, and drift away…slowly my mind thinks of …nothing… *** After my Walking Dead Escape night during Comic Con, I figured that I should actually watch the episodes.…

Week 29: Boy, that’s for Dam big!
No, that’s not what she said. I’m talking about the Dam, you know the Hoover Dam. It’s that big man made thing that helps save water and creates power for places like…Southern California. *** You know how there are those places that you always say to yourself, ok…

Week 28: The Happiest Place on Earth
I have been to Disneyland many, many times. Come on…I grew up in Anaheim Hills. Everybody loved to come visit us, and after a while my parents would say, “here are the directions, have a nice time.” I remember my Grad Nite where we (yes me too) rented tuxedos to…
