Site Upgrades

Last night, I updated the base WordPress version that this blog runs on. I also updated many of the plugins, including the photo gallery, that I also run on this site. Hopefully, this won’t even be noticeable to my readers. One thing you will notice is the shoutbox is missing. This is due to it […]

School Year Winding Down

The school year for the kids is winding down. As usual, as the year ends, there seems to be a never ending stream of events at the school. Last week was weird week for the kids. One day they dressed up as mismatched as they could. They looked pretty ridiculous, but I imagine they fit […]

Cruise Talk Central Redesign

My internet connection got stable enough for me to launch the redesigned Cruise Talk Central today. My speed still sucks, but at least it held long enough for me to do the upgrade. I redesigned the site to allow for easier navigation, more straight forward grouping of information and to give Suzanne a place to […]

New Fire Near Us

Earlier this week another wildfire broke out near us. This one is known as the San Antonio Fire. It’s located in the San San Rafael Valley near San Antonio Canyon. That’s a region just North of the Mexican border. It’s probably 15 – 20 miles from us in Sonoita. As of mid-week, the fire had […]

Spam and More Spam

Wow, just noticed how many spam comments that the Akismet plugin I run here at Mr Papa’s World has stopped from ever reaching site. The spam comment count is now over 30,000 spams since I installed Akismet. I wish I could remember when I installed it, but I don’t. I may have to research a […]

Sean’s Baseball Team Still Undefeated

Yesterday, Sean’s baseball team extended their undefeated season winning their game by a score of 13 – 0 and moving their record to 8 – 0. They continue to dominate every team in the league. Thus far, their closest game was 8 runs. Sean has been catching the whole game, as his coach, like me, […]

Stupid Smoke Detectors

I really don’t mean that as they are invaluable part of home safety, but after a frustrating night like last night, it sure felt like it. In the evening, one of our smoke detectors started beeping every few minutes. Then a couple of more started beeping. Since all the detectors are wired together such that […]

Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy Mothers Day – especially to my Mom! This is your day and I hope you enjoy it! I know Suzanne will enjoy it. She has me running a bunch of errands for her today. I even had to go get her a special bottle of wine. Oh well, she gave me a couple of […]

Night At The Museum

Tonight, the family gathered for another family movie night. It’s one of our favorite things to do on the weekends. Personally, and I have said this many times, I would much rather gather for a nice movie in my theater room than go to a movie theater. The movie of choice tonight was Night at […]

Another Baseball Win

Sean’s team won their baseball game again tonight. It was another landslide victory by a score of 17 – 0. They remain undefeated for the year. It looks like they will go undefeated again this year. Tonight was the first game of the season that I could not attend. The game was over at Ft […]
