Pumpkin School

Pumpkin Patchin', school schoolin', horror movie writin', people having baby babyin', winning fantasy baseball leaguein'.

Here is for all the mothers out there. RIP max chillin'!

Good Times (Almost Over) reprise squared.

We leave the day after tomorrow. My days are filled with all the things that they have been filled with every day since the beginning (except we are surfing now that Anne and Trevor are here). My nights are filled with dominoes, the occasional pcog, good food, and Magnum. We're watching the series finale right now. It is suspenseful and fun, filled with wit and grit.

I have also been watching videos of Norm Macdonald being really funny. I keep Robyn up with my bed shaking laughs.



We've also watched Donovan's Reef, Blue Hawaii, and South Pacific.

We like themes.

I also won these on Ebay.



I'll link some fun family pictures over at some point maybe.

Four Full Days Left

Got to make the most of the last few days of the trip. It's been fun, if not a little more mellow. Mellow is good though. Mellow is nice. We've snorkeled. We've eaten raw things. We've gotten somewhat back in shape. Nothing too extreme. Just nice relaxing awesome hang out.

Now I'm going to leave the internet.

Hawaii.

Hawaii has been good. It always is. Uncle D is coming in today. We've been doing the usual. Wake. Write some horror. Swim. Go to the pool. The beach. Read some. Drink some Maui Brewing Company taste-tastic Big Swell IPA. Come back for an Insanity! workout. Get tired. Eat some lunch. Go swim in the ocean. Put Jack down for a nap. Read some more. Write some more. Go in the ocean again. Get Jack up. Go in the ocean. Go in the pool. Make some dinner at the barbecue. Drink Pcog. Watch Blue Hawaii. Play dominoes. Watch South Park. Go to sleep. Repeat in the morning.

I also ate a delicious hobo plate today. It was basically like loco moco, but with Portuguese sausage instead of a hamburger patty.

I've also eaten some good awesome poke.

And I got a new gecko wallet. It is black. I am branching out.

No complaints.

Summer in the City

It is summer. We keep our blinds shut to hide the hot hot heat. Jack is eating breakfast; I am drinking iced coffee left over from yesterday.

I went to DC. It was fun. M. Beth and I reveled about the monuments. I will not go into details, but there may or may not be pictures (I will lean toward not... for personal and professional reasons).

Heading up to Ventura today for Jack's weekly swim lesson. We went to Disneyland on Sunday. It was fun, but I was tired.

I also had a fun b-dai party. Good to see old friends J. Pickle and Trace Chutkins. Good guys. Good country people. We also had some delicious brew: Supplication, Chimay, Beer Breakfast, Damnation... yum squared it twas. Yum squared. And boss cupcakes made by K. Siech.

Yum. Fun. Bomb. It. Magik.

Time to write some horror.

All-Star!

I am watching the All-Star game. I almost went, but then I didn't. I had fun in Washington D.C. Matt B came down and hung out. It was epic squared. Now I'm watching the game with Poppo and my mom. Jack is hanging out with my dad. I think they are on a walk. We're having a belated b-day on Saturday. We will eat hot dogs wrapped in bacon. There will be a topping bar. I may get pastrami from Langer's and make my own Polish-pastrami Swiss cheese dawg. Then I will drink bottles of Damnation for fun!

it's my burfday.

Tuesday. 11:27. I never thought I'd make it to thirty. Many people don't. Pour one out bra.

I'm going to take Jack to the train and to the horses. In a few. Maybe in half and h. I will be eating some sweet pastrami sandwichies with my fam this evening too. And I leave for DC this week. I may go see Strasburg pitch seven no-hitters or I may go hang with Bethancourt and maybe get adventurous and groove up to Philly and see E and M Dawgsessions.

I will also probably right now take a shower.

Yo Dodger Blue (L.A. Loves You)

Farther Off the Wall: 40 years ago today: A death at Dodger Stadium, and still the only one of its kind at an MLB game

I went to my first Dodger game of the year with Andy. It was fun. Some people gave us their tickets on the way in. I tried bartering with a scalper. I offered ten dollars for field level. The scalper seemed insulted. It was all posturing, I assume. The game was quick. We also saw Jeremy Miller, who instantly entered my top ten celebrity sighting list.

We went to Bakersfield for a wedding. Robyn's parents are in town. It was fun. I got to be a deejay. We stayed in a hotel. Jack and I played in a pool.

Robyn drove home. She drove the stick into the ground (in a good way). Now Jack is eating fish sticks and edamame. He is also watching Bud's Life.

I need to get to a Dodger game soon.

School is close to being almost over.

I went to Disneyland again with Jack on Friday and ruled the roost on Buzz Lightyear.

End of Le Break

Tomorrow I go back to work. I had some good time off. Teachers ought stop their protests. We've got it good. I had a fun time hanging out with my kiddo. I also watched some Mad Men and am in the middle of Curb season seven. It is really funny and awkward and good. Treme premiered tonight. I will try and watch it tomorrow.

Baseball is also fun. The Dodgers stink. Hopefully this isn't a trend. I want less Dodger owners to go through a divorce right now.

Jack and Robyn are cool. We had fun doing fun things over the break. Maybe I will see the Dodgers in person soon. This is all.

Cool to me only

Albert Woolson, the last (undisputed) survivor of the Civil War died in 1956 in a house about 400 feet away from where Bob Dylan grew up in Duluth. Here is the googlemap:

Last Night

I had a dream that I was at a Beach Boys concert. It was at the beach somewhere in Laguna. At one point Brian Wilson circa 1972 showed up. He left really quickly. Someone from the Beach Boys sent me to find him. He was hiding in a cave that was like a cage that a snake would live in at a zoo. It had a heat lamp and a hot rock inside.

Then I was back at the concert. The started playing "Cotton Fields" but stopped because they couldn't remember all the words. The Rob Bethancourt started playing something on electric guitar. The I woke up to use the restroom. Now I am awake.

Spring Break Attack

It just hit me. My Google Calendar says Spring Break over and over for two weeks. This is both strange and awesome. More awesome. I'm used to winter break being two weeks long, not spring. Robyn is in Bakersfield, so I took Jack to Disneyland today. It was a good kick-off. Robyn is picking up extra days at work so I get to hang out with Jack for two weeks straight. Just chillin' out at parks and riding trains and ponies. Maybe I'll take him to the track.

Yesterday I had some good beer made by Mr. A and friends in Ventura. It was quite delicious.

Robyn also wants me to figure out what I want for my birthday. I don't really care. I want time. I want to get paid for hanging out. I want to regrow hair. I want lasik eye surgery and a guitar. Nothing too attainable, but it is my thirtieth, so I'm told I can ask for more. I don't like spending money though. Except on food stuffs and hang out time. Maybe I'll go to Montana or New York. Or I'll head up north for a double-dip of Ad Hoc and Russian River. Or maybe I'll just get some My Taco, Rogain, and Four Loko and call it a night.

New Car.

I got a new car. It is a Ford Escape. It is fun. It reminds me of driving the Trooper sort of. Spring Break is also almost upon us. This Friday. I will be Mr. Mom. I might even Netflix Mr. Mom and watch the heck out of it real good. Now the heater is on and I need to start teaching.

My Gecko Shorts Ripped

I will have to sew them and then buy a new pair this summer. Jack is eating breakfast. Yogurt. Trix yogurt. It looks like the food they ate in Hook.

In other news... Robyn is sleeping and I am typing. We're going to Kevin's birthday tonight. It should be fun. In a few minutes I'm going to go get eggs for pancakes or crepes. Not sure what yet.

School is going well. I'm running again. Robyn got all fit. I was going to P90x it, but I don't have the discipline or the time. That's about it in the things going on category. We also went to Arizona to watch Spring Training. It was super fun.

Camelback Bill

We had a fun time in Arizona. Tempe was beautiful. The people were fabulous. The baseball was fantastical. The draft was spandangular. We watched two fandamnblorinous games and had a draft. We played pool and ate many helpings of junk foods. We saw Ramon Martinez and Manny. It was all boss.
