New Board Games

For Christmas this year, the kids received a whole bunch of new board games. As a family that plays a lot of board games, Christmas is always a chance for us to try out some new games. This year, the kids also got some of the old favorites redone. Amongst the new games they got […]

I’ve Joined Payperpost

I have been blogging here at Mr Papa’s world for over three years now (the last two years in its current WordPress format). Most of my posts have been related to what’s been happening in our family. A few posts have ventured out into politics or our favorite pastime cruise travel or other unrelated areas. […]

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone! Its bright and early this Christmas morning. Soon the kids will be awake and it will be time to open the presents. Frankly, I am surprised they slept in this late, but they have never really risen all that early on Christmas morning. They certainly are better sleepers than I was […]

Christmas Menu

Time to disclose what the Klasens will be having to eat this Christmas holiday season. I have to admit, that I am not planning on spending as much time cooking over the next few days as I have in past seasons. We are all quite in the holiday spirit, but have decided to spend more […]

New Arizona Immigration Laws Working

Wow, was surprised to read on CNN that the new Arizona Immigration laws are working. Good deal… Glad to see the laws are having positive benefits here in Arizona. I haven’t really noticed a drop in border crossers passing through our area though. I certainly wish they would take their trash with them. Maybe we […]

Community Christmas Party

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

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

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 […]

Mr Papa – Rare Beef!

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. […]
