KISS Summer Goodbye!!!!!

Me with Eric Singer (The new Cat Man)

Well, summer is now officially over. But it didn't go away without a bang. I just got home from a weekend in beautiful Lake Tahoe where on Saturday night I closed out the summer of 08 with KISS. The show was being called "An Evening With KISS" and they did not disappoint. At 8:30pm the lights went down and there was the hum of guitars and then over the PA System came a calling. "All Right Lake Tahoe, You Wanted the Best You Got the Best the Hottest Band In the World." KISS!!!!!! The place went nuts and the boys broke right into Deuce, and they sounded better then ever. The played for a little over two hours and rocked the house the entire time. Hopefully this is not the end of them touring and they will back closer to home in the near future. I am looking forward to going and seeing the greatest American band of all time with my beautiful wife, so she can experience the greatness that is KISS. I hope that you all had a very nice summer and there will be a few more pictures from my "Evening with KISS", but until then enjoy a few of these shots I took......

Happy Birthday Sis

Today is my baby sister's birthday. So on this second Monday of August 2008. I would like to wish my baby sister a very Happy Birthday.

Much Love,
Bro, Dawg-ette, and Puppy

Not Much going on

It has been a few days since my last entry so I thought I would give a quick little update on what has been happening at the Dawg House.

Last Saturday Dawg-ette and I had Puppy's Christening. We had about 40 people come to the church and about another 30 show up for the after party at Dawg-ette's parents house. I would like to thank everyone who was able to come to Puppy's 1st big event. There are two people I would like to give a special thanks to. I would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to my Mother and Father In Law. Thank you for a wonderful party and for all that you do not only for us but for Puppy.

As for the after party, all I am going to say is WOW! The food was awesome. My Father-in-law and I put out some excellent food, my smoked prime rib was not half bad . I think that puppy's 1st birthday though may top this, but we'll just have to wait until next April to find that out.

Other than that not much is going on here. I just got home from playing softball and we lost a close game 14 - 12 on a two out walk off Grand Slam. Our team played well, just not well enough to win. But we have not really played a complete game the second half of the summer. We are going to need to kick it up a bit if we are going to defend our Spring League Championship.

Well, I hope everyone is doing good. Talk to you all soon........

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.

Happy 11th Birthday and we all love you very much.........
Uncle B, Auntie J, and Baby K

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.......
