Long time no post…

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Hi everyone,

Dad just got after me since I had not posted in a while… I guess he’s right since it has been a while.

I was watching from my bed by Dad’s desk as he was watching again about Randy Pausch and his “Last Lecture” (SEE LINK).

I think Dad sent out an email reminder about him as well to a bunch of you. If you didn’t get that email, let Dad know and shoot him an email.

Let’s see, anything else new? .. it has started to cool down (except the last couple days) and laying out on the patio is REALLY nice now!

Well I think Dad is making something in the kitchen so I better go see if I get anything… WOOF!!!!

Not much new, but Boom Blox for the Wii…

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

So, for Dad’s birthday last week, Mom got him the Nintendo Wii game Boom Blox.. Which he seems to really enjoy.

It’s a fun, challenging game that will be great for many players and is enjoyable (that is if you have thumbs to use the Wii-mote)…

Storm damage from 8/28 (continued) the clean up begins…

and Dad is PISSED OFF… STRONG winds a really strong storm came into our area Thursday night and knocked over his Mesquite …
(which was not the birthday present Dad wanted for his birthday)
Take a look:

Mom did get him a cool pizza (that I am hoping he shares, a dog can hope, right?) for his 38th B-day..

Updates to come in the daylight, but we have a 2nd strong storm coming shortly so I have to get ready for that one!!

Dad had ABC15 over today and they were running a little late as they were supposed to here at 5pm.. but were about 20+ minute late. Once they did arrive Dad put us outside to wait and be out of the way on the patio, thankfully there is shade and yes it got a little warm but we were OK and they wanted to know why he (and us) watch ABC15.
They were here for about an hour and a half shooting shots out front with Dad speaking and then by their news truck and such.

Dad and the guys from ABC15 came back inside (while we still were waiting on the patio in the shade) and they asked him questions about What, Why, How long, What he likes etc. about ABC15. The promos are to air soon here in Phoenix.

I am sure Dad will send a link to some of you when (if) the promos hit the air!

Thunderstorms…

Tonite we have some in the area and Dad thinks they are so cool, and is hoping for some much needed rain.  I on the otherhand get a little scared sometimes, then Dad calls me a pansy…  maybe he is right…  ;)
