Sean’s Baseball Season In Full Swing

April 23, 2008 by Mr Papa Leave a Comment

If its Spring time and we seem busy than usual, it must be baseball season. And it is in full swing. Sean wanted to play with some older and more capable kids this year so he is now playing in a neighboring city instead of Sonoita. When I say neighboring, keep in mind we live […]

As we have mentioned before, we have booked our next Cruise, a Transatlantic from Barcelona, Spain to San Juan, Puerto Rico. We continue to make more progress on the planning for this cruise vacation. Being that the cruise departs and returns to ports that are a long ways from our home, we have to add […]

Sleep Number Beds

April 16, 2008 by Mr Papa 3 Comments

A while back I mentioned that we were going to be purchasing a new Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed. Our previous mattress had served us well, but was 14 years old. Suzanne and I believed that we also preferred different style mattresses. The Sleep Number Bed seemed like a perfect fit. About four weeks ago, […]

My American Airlines Fun

Last week, I had to take a business trip to Dayton, OH. As usual, we were flying on American Airlines. Our flight left Tucson about 15 minutes prior to American grounding their entire fleet of MD-80s. We were informed of this action upon our arrival in Chicago O’Hare airport. There was a lot of groans […]

Sean Changes Baseball Teams

March 14, 2008 by Mr Papa Leave a Comment

Sean has decided to change baseball teams this upcoming season. He is right on the age limit between what the baseball league terms minor and majors. He could play minors again this season, but it would be with a bunch of younger kids. So, he wants to play majors. Unfortunately, our small little, rural community […]

Move To New Server Complete

February 27, 2008 by Mr Papa 4 Comments

Whew, I think the move to the new server is finally complete! I had some issues moving this time. My sites continue to gobble up bandwidth and I just keep running into issues with shared hosting, so I made the plunge on over to a Virtual Private Server (VPS). It took a bit more work […]

Actually, no Showstopper dances today as it was a travel day for us to get to Phoenix. We have lucked out this year and all of the kids and Suzanne’s dances are on Saturday. In past years, they have had dances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I worked today and had Suzanne and the kids […]
