Comic-Con and Lailah
May 4, 2015 By
So. I was having brunch at Lucky 13's yesterday, with Lailah, her GMR, her GG, her dad Jordan, her uncle Reece (and his GF, Katie2), Lailah's mom (Katie McCormick aka Katie1) was working but she flitted in & out during our meal, and I remembered hearing that Comic-Con being in town. So, after having brunch, I made an executive decision, and headed up to the convention center to see my very … [Read more...]
Movie: The Imitation Game
January 18, 2015 By
I had the opportunity to see the movie "The Imitation Game" tonight. Do not be put off by the subject matter. Just go see it. There is no violence (ok, maybe one short scene), no "F-words", no sex, and not a whole lot of "action" (like cars chasing each other, etc.), it's just a true story about someone who lived during the World War II, and their contribution toward ending that war, as well as … [Read more...]
Movie review – Superman
July 9, 2013 By
Well, as some of you may know, I’m an avid reader. I started “early” in life, biking down a couple of times a week to the local drug (& beer) store on Harper near Frazho (i.e., downtown SCS - what was the name of that place – Leonards??), to buy the latest comic books while in elementary school. My favorite comics were Batman and Superman – I just couldn’t get enough of them. I don’t … [Read more...]
Bicycles…and bicycling
June 17, 2013 By
So, I bought myself a new Bike over the weekend. The Companion had taken their's to the local bike shop for a so-called beginning of the season "tune-up", and I was "elected" to pick the bike up after the shop called, saying it was ready... Sorry - let's backtrack a few steps and give you some background of my bicycling history: My first bike was a Schwinn "Sting Ray", you know, one of … [Read more...]
Daily blogging – life experiences – just start doing it!
March 22, 2013 By
Sometimes, I share the most boring stuff, which book I just finished reading, which movie we just saw, which TV series/season I just finished. Other times, I wear my heart on my sleeve, writing about feelings, friends, work, etc., and it seems i tend to knock it out of the park on those occasions (go figure). I really need to try to get into writing a major thought down once a day, and post … [Read more...]
Visio of Dover Basement – post construction mods
December 21, 2012 By
This is what the Dover basement could have turned out to be. In this diagram, I decreased the size of the project room (by 2-1/2 feet on the right), increased the size of the bedroom (by adding that same amount to the left). I then moved the door of the storage room to be next to the bedroom window, allowing the bed to be placed in the southeast corner. Not sure whether I like the project … [Read more...]
