This weekend we will be journeying to Phoenix on our annual February trek for the Showstopper Regional Dance Competition. Once again, Suzanne and the kids will be competing in various dance categories. As usual, Mr Papa will be on the sidelines in the audience watching the performances. This year, Savannah will be competing in six […]

What a weird weather pattern we have been getting lately. Earlier this week, the temp was in the low 70’s – quite nice. Today, we are in the middle of a Winter Storm Warning. Earlier this morning, we received about 2 inches of snow. That snow, plus the threat of a whole bunch more, caused […]
Oh Man… Next Star Trek Delayed Until 09
February 14, 2008 by 1 Comment
There must be a fine line between being a die hard fan of Star Trek and a Trekkie. I do consider myself an avid fan of the show/series/movies but wouldn’t about going to a convention or other type gathering. I don’t think bad things about those folks, but its just not me. I think I […]

This is probably old, but I hadn’t seen it before. Actually, I don’t even know for sure its true, but it did come from a former Naval officer. Even it its not true, it made me smile, so I thought I would share it with my readers. The USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) as a combat […]

Today is a busy day for Suzanne. She has two singing performances scheduled for today. I am sure she will be thoroughly exhausted by the end of the day. The first performance is a concert at the Tucson Estates community center. This is a community in Tucson that a few times a year puts on […]

As usual, the family seems to be extremely busy once again. To a certain extent, its driven by the upcoming Showstoppers Dance Competition coming up in a few weeks in Phoenix. The kids have been having extra rehearsals and extra practices at home. I can’t remember how many dances they will be doing this year, […]
Super Bowl Ads
February 4, 2008 by 2 Comments
What the hell is Mr Papa doing writing a post about the Super Bowl Ads instead of the game itself? Well, a few comments on the game… That may well have been the best Super Bowl Game ever. It was close the whole way, hard fought and riveting. And my full post on the Super […]
Qwest DSL
February 3, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Qwest finally decided to turn on DSL out here in my neck of the woods. They had run fiber out for a central office several years ago but had resisted actually activating any kind of service. I guess they think Sonoita is backwoods and wouldn’t support turning on the service. Anyways, I have used a […]
