Where’s Mr Papa?

Okay, time for one of these posts again as its been a while since I have posted. The New Year has kept me hopping both at work and at home. On the home front, over the holidays and to a lesser extent afterwards, we have had renewed energy on family game night. During the holidays, […]

Smoking and Super Heroes

Yesterday I put my new Christmas present, a smoker to the test. We also decided to have a Super Hero movie marathon to watch three relatively new movies that we hadn’t yet seen. I spent a fair amount of time yesterday getting the meats ready to smoke. I had decided to smoke a top loin […]

Christmas Fun

Well, another Christmas has come and gone, though it joyfully continues to linger in the household. Mr Papa’s World celebrated another great Christmas. It started a bit more than a week ago when Suzanne’s parents came to town for a visit. They timed the visit so they could be home for Christmas, but more importantly […]

I Finally See One of Sean’s Basketball Games

I finally had an opportunity to see on of Sean’s basketball games yesterday. All of his games start at 3:30 in the afternoon which means leaving work about 2:30 just to get to the close games. Most would require me to leave even earlier. The middle school games are supposed to be organized into A, […]

Basketball Season Begins For Sean

Football season is barely over, but basketball season has begun for Sean this week. They have already played two games and his middle school team is 1 – 1. Sean is the starting point guard for the team. Its ironic that he is even playing basketball. The sport was my favorite growing up as a […]

Sean’s Football Season Comes to a Close

Today was the last game of the season for Sean’s football team. It ended much the way it began, on a bad note. They lost again today by a score of 45 – 14 to Benson. It also closed out a winless season for the kids. The game today was never close as Benson raced […]

What’s Up With the Lions?

Holy cow, what has gotten into the Detroit Lions lately? They are finally starting to act like an NFL football team. Most of my readers know that I am an avid, loyal, long time Detroit Lions fan and am not afraid to admit it! 😉 They have, unfortunately, been the doormat of the NFL for […]

Sean’s Team Doesn’t Lose

No, they didn’t win either. Technically, I guess they did lose as they had to forfeit only having 10 players for the game today. The weather has been pretty rough today – on and off rain – and several kids didn’t show up or did other things because they didn’t think we would play in […]

Fun Day in Willcox

Yesterday being Saturday meant another day on the road for a football game. Sean’s game yesterday was in Willcox, AZ. Willcox is about 75 minutes away, so we planned make it most of a day trip to Willcox, which is another small rural town in SE Arizona and beloved home of deceased cowboy Rex Allen. […]

Another Lopsided Defeat

Today is Saturday, which meant another football game for Sean. Unfortunately, it also meant another lopsided defeat. Today, we played the kids from Benson and were soundly beat by a score of 47 – 6. I use the word kids loosely because we must be feeding our kids wrong in Sonoita and Huachucha City. These […]
