Happy Birthday to Sprout #2

Dawg-ette, Puppy and I want to wish a very Happy 7th Birthday to our niece Sprout #2. Just like her older brother Sprout #1 she is turning into a very special little lady. She always brings a smile to our face every time we see her.

So for Sprout #2 Birthday tonight she is going to see Toby Keith. We all hope that she has a great time.

Sprout #2 enjoy your birthday, and have fun at the concert.

Auntie J, Baby K, and I love you very much........

My Angel

Puppy is growing so fast, hard to believe that on Friday she will be 3 months old. Here is a picture that her Nonno took of her for her Christening. Pretty soon she'll be running up and down his long hallway having a great time. Dawg-ette, and I are very happy with our little puppy.

Happy Birthday Sprout #1

I would like to wish my Nephew, Sprout #1 a very Happy 11th Birthday today. Also, Dawg-ett, Puppy and I have something very special planned for him when we can all get together.

Sprout #1 is the most thoughtful 11 year old I know. He cares so much about everyone, and he tries so hard at everything he does. Knowing that makes me extremely proud to say he is my nephew. So Sprout #1, Auntie Dawg-ette, Uncle D, and your little cousin Puppy love you very much. You are growing up so fast and turning into be quit an amazing young man. Not only do you make your Mom and Dad very proud of you but everyone in our family. Keep it up, and you will have a very fulfilling life ahead of you.

For Sale By Owner

So I am driving down 101 this morning on the way to work when I am passed by a Black Chevy Tahoe with a For Sale Sign on it. Now I know it is not uncommon to see cars with For Sale signs on them all the time, but what got me thinking was the fact that the sign read "For Sale By Owner." Duh! Unless the Bank or the Repo Man is selling your car it should be sold by the owner. For once I would love to see a sign on a car for sale that reads maybe "For Sale By Renter" or "For Sale By Pissed Off Ex-Wife/Ex -Husband."

Well, that is my thought for the day. Ok, maybe just the first thought of today. Hope everyone enjoys their Thursday......

PS. Bozo, Thanks for the 9 volt battery joke. I am getting miles out of that one, awesome joke Bro.......

Finally

Well today Dawg-ette, Puppy and myself finally got to meet my sister's new boyfriend. I am happy that we were finally able to meet him. He seems like a very nice guy, and he really appears to truly like my sister. She too seems to truly like him and she seems to be very happy. Dawg-ette and I are extremely happy for her, she seems to have met a really nice guy who wants to take care of her and love her. Basically be her partner. They look like they really get along together and enjoy each others company.

Hey sis, we approve. WOOF, WOOF!!!!!!!!!

It's been a while

Hi Everybody. It's been a while since my last post so here is what has been going on. 1st, Puppy's 1st 4th of July was a great day. I needed to run the BBQ for the residence at work and that was a huge success, although it was a warm day down in Palo Alto. Everyone had a great time. Then I met up with Dawg-ette and Puppy at the in-laws house for another BBQ. Great Rib Eye's and corn for dinner. My father in law can really pick out some great food. Always a good time had by everyone at their house. I made popcorn ice cream for dessert for everyone, and it was huge hit. I am going to have to add that one to the binder.

Then one of my softball teams started a new season in San Bruno on Tuesday night. We were finally moved from Wednesday night after winning another championship. I think we won something like 7 out of the last 8. Anyway, we began our new night against the "Good Team." Yes, that is the name of their team. Well all I am going to say is that we are the "better team" because we double them up in a 16 - 8 win.

Finally, my company was going to be featured in an ABC news, Nightline story last Thursday night. I told everyone to stay up and check us out. Well, ABC took some of the footage that they shot at our property and cut it into another community up in Santa Rosa. They didn't show any of the people I work with or even talk about our property. Basically they made the community in Santa Rosa look extremely nice by adding features that they don't even offer.

Well, I am getting off my soap box now. hope you all have been enjoying the nice weather we have been having and I'll blog at you soon........

Smart Move

First let me start by saying I think that my rant yesterday about about Barry Bonds' #756 home run ball got this done. Smart move Mark Ecco, for getting the ball to the Hall of Fame so the people can see it and see a major part of Baseball history. From a huge baseball fan thanks for giving all of us a chance to see some history. Now only if the Giants can follow your lead and stop acting as if Barry never played for them. Hey Peter and Larry, give Barry the respect he deserves. If it was not for him you would not have that beautiful ball park, and we would still have to go out and watch them at "The Stick" or on TV from Tampa.

Barry Bonds

Okay, I know that I just put a post up a few minutes ago. But I saw this and it made me a little sad, but more pissed off than anything else. As most of you know I am huge Giants fan. Always have been and always will be. On top Barry Bonds is my all time favorite player.Even with his bad attitude, lack of hustle, and basically it's all about me and to hell with everyone else's attitude I am still a HUGE Barry Bonds fan. What the Giants did to him last year was just wrong. The guy was your best everyday player. He was the reason people came out to watch crappy baseball for the last few years. We went to see Barry hit the ball into the water. So what if he didn't always run out a ground ball to second or a shot to the outfield thinking it was going to be a home run. So freakin what! Barry was today's fans Willie Mays, and Willie McCovey. Even though when the Giants Signed Barry I was 22 years old I feel that I grew up with him. That is why I feel that the Giants did him wrong last year by letting him go. He wanted to play one more year, hell you should have let him do it. You could have been much worse with him than without him.

Anyway, the thing that pissed me off was I read that Mark Ecco, he's the guy who bought Barry's 756th home run ball. Is not going to work out a deal with the Baseball Hall of Fame to put the ball on display. The ball is part of history and the people should have the right to see it, not locked up in some wealthy a-hole's house. You may not agree with things that Barry has been accused of doing or even his personality, but that ball need to be available for the people to see. Last time I checked Pete Rose's all time hits ball, #4256 is in the Hall of Fame and he bet on baseball. Hell he bet on his own team. And OJ Simpson is still in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and we all know what he did.

Anyway, Mark Ecco pull your head out of your ass and do the right thing. Put Barry's #756th home run ball into the Hall of Fame. You would get greater satisfaction knowing that baseball fans get to see what they want to see, and not wonder what the ball looks like.

Kendall @ the doctors

Well, Kendall had her 2 month doctors appointment today and she did amazing. Her doctor, Dr. Tanaka said that she was in the 90th% of baby's her age. She weighed in at 12lbs 15 oz, and measured 24 inches long. So you know whose footsteps she is following. She also received her 2 month vaccination shots today. The first three she took like a champ, and didn't even let out a peep. But the fourth one was the one that got her and she cried for about two minutes. Jeanette was there and ready to sooth her with some milk. There is no worse feeling that seeing you little baby crying and feeling so hopeless knowing that the pain that they are going through at that very second is actually in their best interest for a healthy life. And we get to do it all over again in 2 months at her 4 month appointment.
