Tonight was the local Sonoita community Christmas Party. Every year the chamber of commerce puts this fun activity on for our rural community. There’s lots of cowboy gear as the local ranchers come out for a fun night. The evening starts with a couple hours of adults only “quiet” time before the kids show up […]

Connection Issues and Call of Duty 4
December 20, 2007 by Leave a Comment
For the last two or three weeks, we have been struggling with connection issues. Its one of those issues that you occasionally deal with living in rural America and having to use a wireless setup for your broadband connection. The connection from my provider has been occasionally dropping for a minute or two, which isnt […]
Vacation Update

Vacation continues to go nicely. I really needed some time off. The last part of the year at work was rough. I still haven’t decided if I am going to go back to work on the 2nd of January or delay until the 7th. I had been thinking the 2nd, but the kids are trying […]
It’s A Wonderful Life – The Alternate Ending
December 15, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Last night, Suzanne and I watched the Christmas classic “It’s A Wonderful Life”. It is a must watch every Christmas season. While watching the movie, Suzanne recalled watching a Saturday night skit where they had an alternate ending of the movie. I had never seen the alternate ending before so we went searching for it […]

December 14, 2007 by 4 Comments
I have posted recently about the huge amount of spam I receive here at Mr Papa’s World. The spam continues. Another thing that has been quite prevalent, even more so over at Cruise Talk Central has been content scraping. Content scraping is the stealing of content from one site and publishing it on another site. […]
Merry Christmas From DirecTV

We got a nice little Christmas present from DirecTV last night. They have begun to broadcast our local TV stations in High Definition. This is a big deal for us because we don’t watch very many TV shows if they are in standard definition any more. It’s just not as enjoyable. Living in the country, […]
A Bad Day For Sue Ellen
December 13, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Yesterday, was not a good day for our dog Sue Ellen. And hence, it wasn;t the best of days for us either. Sue Ellen is a pretty good dog who pretty much stays out of trouble. I think mostly because she is pretty stupid. But, she is great with the kids and doesn’t cause many […]
Why Does Vacation Just Zip By?
December 12, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Wow, the time just flies by when you are on vacation. It hardly seems like its been a week so far, but it has. Luckily, I will still be on vacation for almost another three weeks. The worst part is that it seems like I have accomplished almost nothing of substance done while on vacation. […]
Lions vs Cowboys

This is a rare week for me. Tomorrow the Detroit Lions play the Dallas Cowboys. Detroit is, and always has been, my favorite team. My second favorite team is whoever plays the Cowboys. So, extra incentive for my team this week. In this world of blogging, all teams have blogs. Today, I was interviewed by […]
First Day Of My Yearly Xmas Vacation
December 7, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Today, I began my annual Christmas vacation. Inevitably, the year has been very busy and I have a hard time taking vacation. Thus, at the end of the year, I always have a bunch of vacation that I have to take or lose. This year wasn’t any different. I haven’t decided if I will be […]
