The Pursuit of Happiness

Tonight, we gave the Will Smith movie The Pursuit of Happiness a run. It’s a feel good story about a man of vision who is down and out on his luck. His sales job isn’t working and his wife leaves him. Yet, he is determined to provide for his son. The movie finds him living […]

Sean’s Baseball Team Moves To 2 – 0

If it’s Spring time and Saturday, it must be time for a baseball game for Sean. However, today hardly seemed like Spring as the temperature was only in the mid 50’s with a chilly wind. It’s been in the upper 70’s or low 80’s for the past couple of weeks. Once again, Sean’s team was […]

Baseball Season Begins

Tonight, Sean’s baseball team kicked off the new season in fine fashion, winning by Mercy Rule 14 – 1. The game only went 3 innings as it was very one sided. Sean started the game at catcher and caught the first two innings. Boy, has he improved over last year. He was very effective in […]

Cruise IQ

Tonight, we played a round of Cruise IQ. It’s not one of my favorite games, but Suzanne and the kids really like the game. The game is basically Trivial Pursuit but dealing with cruising. The object of the game is to cruise your ship around the World to various ports and answer trivia questions in […]

300 vs 300 Spartans

We finally got a chance this past weekend to watch the old classic movie 300 Spartans. You might remember my post on the current movie 300, and the issues I had with it. I also related that, as I remembered, the original 1960’s movie was much much better. Suzanne, Sean and myself sat down to […]

Celebrity Mercury Upgrade

In June, we will be cruising to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury. It’s been 14 years since we have cruise to Alaska, so it will be nice to go back. When we last cruised to Alaska, I don’t think we ever had more than our ship in port. A cruise to Alaska was not […]

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone! I hope yours is as pleasant as ours has been thus far. We started the morning out with Easter Mass at one of our community members ranches. It was a wonderful ceremony held outside with the rolling hills and mountains as a backdrop. A cool breeze filled the air. Afterwards, myself […]

Quick Family Update

Today, Sean started baseball practice. He is excited, but now has to decide when to play baseball and when to go to dance. Normally, he dances four days a week with only Wednesday off. It looks like baseball practice will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The number of days will go down when the […]

Rocky, Rocky, Rocky

Yesterday, we finally got a change to view the latest Rocky movie, Rocky Balboa. First, to set the stage for the kids, we also rented a copy of the original Rocky movie so they would have a frame of reference for the latest. The kids hadn’t really even heard of Rocky, let alone seen any […]

Elliptical Trainer Saga Continues and 300

Unfortunately, our saga with our new elliptical trainer continues. The A/C power converter arrived on Friday and Suzanne spent about 2 hours with the support folks trying to the elliptical trainer to work. When the converter was attached and the system plugged in, nothing happened. They had Suzanne switch a connector between the electronics “head” […]
