I guess it’s a nice sign that a certain someone actually reads my blog. Michelle - the one everyone keeps congratulating me for marrying up with - noticed my lack of posting here lately.
So this one’s for her:
Really, it is. That horse is for Michelle. Just put a check in the mail yesterday. Our [...]

Well, I’m sitting here, finally at a place to unwind a little after the past few days. They were good, good days, to be sure, but definitely full, and thought-full, and tiring.

Being so far away from family and friends in the fire affected areas in San Diego is hard - not as hard as being there, mind you, but hard. This situation is astonishing. The fire moved so fast. Michelle’s folks are doing o.k. - they decided to wait it out in [...]

Four years ago (almost to the day, actually), Southern California was on fire. Michelle and I came very close to losing our home - we had charred land to within 20 feet of our front porch. Unfortunately, Michelle’s folks had a different outcome. Their home of 30 years was burned. They [...]

Michelle and I just returned from a blurryfastwaytoobusy trip to SoCal. We went down there to clean up our rental house from previous tenants and prepare it for the next go-round. Tons of work. And blazing blazing HOT. The mercury hit 107 (f) one day. Sadly, our time was very [...]
