Another short business trip looms next week. That means more aggravating air travel. I remember the days when travel on the airlines was fun and exciting – and I don’t mean when I was a kid. It was like a little getaway from reality. The airline industry was service oriented back then and they still […]
The Greenery of Sonoita
July 15, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Here in Sonoita, AZ we are in full swing Monsoon season. The afternoon and evening Thunderstorms have been quite spectacular. The rainfall has been heavy. At times, you cant see 50 feet away from you its raining so hard. The Monsoon season is nice because it also tends to cool down our 100+ degree temperatures […]
Hot Hot Hot

The thermometer has soared around here lately. We have quite a streak going of 100+ degree temperatures. A couple of days, we even got to 110 degrees. Luckily, its a dry heat. I say that partly in jest, but it does make a world of difference. I will take 110 degrees with about 0% humidity […]
Stanley Cup

It’s Stanley Cup time in the NHL and my Detroit Red Wings are in it! This year, they happen to be playing the favorite team of a buddy of mine (Hi Paul!), the Pittsburgh Penguins. It should be a good series, but the Red Wings are on fire this playoff season since inserting Chris Osgood […]
Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals
May 7, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Okay, time for another one of my rare political leaning blogs, but I couldn’t ignore this one. As the title says, a recent study by the folks over at Live Science has found that conservatives are generally happier than liberals. Duh? I didn’t need a study to tell me that as its been quite obvious […]
Some Landscaping For The House

I mentioned in a Tweet early this week that we were getting the house appraised today in order to refinance it. Interest rates have really dropped recently and its a really good opportunity to do so. Well, Suzanne has been hard at work getting the house ready for the appraiser to come by. One of […]

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. […]
New Arizona Immigration Laws Working
December 22, 2007 by 1 Comment
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 […]
A Bad Day For Sue Ellen
December 13, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Yesterday, was not a good day for our dog Sue Ellen. And hence, it wasn;t the best of days for us either. Sue Ellen is a pretty good dog who pretty much stays out of trouble. I think mostly because she is pretty stupid. But, she is great with the kids and doesn’t cause many […]
Why Does Vacation Just Zip By?
December 12, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Wow, the time just flies by when you are on vacation. It hardly seems like its been a week so far, but it has. Luckily, I will still be on vacation for almost another three weeks. The worst part is that it seems like I have accomplished almost nothing of substance done while on vacation. […]
