March 17th - Happy St. Patrick's Day

March 18, 2025
Greetings foolish mortals and happy St. Patrick's Day!!!  14 years ago, I was in Dublin, Ireland, have an amazing time.  So much fun was had and so little sleep too.  There was too much to do to sleep.  The city is amazing and beautiful and so much fun and welcoming.  I highly suggest a trip there if you can.



Until next time...

BBP out!!!
 

March 1st - Hello March

March 2, 2025
Greetings foolish mortals and welcome to March.  Can't believe how fast this year is going but we're almost a quarter of the way through it.

I know I haven't updated much, again, but it's been a pretty busy and hectic time in the life of The BBP.  So as I'm sure you've all seen the debacle that is causing mass chaos through the country and government, it has affected The BBP as well.  Not easy to focus on many things when you're stressed and worried about your job and whether or not you'll hav...

Feb 2nd - A day for remembering

February 3, 2025
Today is not a normal day.  Today is a day of remembering the 2 year anniversary of my mother's passing.  It's been rough at times and I know it's been very hard on my father.  While I remember her and miss her I do know she is out of pain and has been keeping tabs on us all.

Love means never saying goodbye.
Love means it will all be alright.
Love means always seeing the good.
Love means never forgetting.

Love and miss you mom.

Feb 1st - Welcome to February

February 1, 2025
Greetings foolish mortals and welcome to February.  I wish I could say this is a good time to be doing things but unfortunately it's not.  We have a Moron in charge of our country now and he's doing everything he can to dismantle the innards and working part that has kept us churning for decades.  All he does is blame others and tries to talk himself up to be a great president when a true leader doesn't need to do that.  

OK, enough of that crap.  This year has started off pretty busy and thin...

Dec 31st - Goodbye 2024!!!

December 31, 2024
Greetings foolish mortals!!!  We are gathered here today to bid adieu to 2024.

It's been a wild and crazy year and much has happened during the 365 days of this year. 

Biggest change was the BBP left his previous, long sought after position with Lockheed and moved over to the U.S. Navy where he's busy getting into the groove of things.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable and safe NYE.

Until next year...

BBP out!!!

Dec 1st - Welcome the holidays

December 2, 2024
Greetings foolish mortals.  Well, here we are in December now and the holidays are in full swing.  Thanksgiving came and went as did Black Friday and I was a little disappointed by the "deals" that were out there.  Not really too many things that piqued my interest.

Another month passed with only one update but I will try to do more this month and make it a better one.

Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and are now enjoying the holidays.

Until next time...

BBP out!!!

November 1st - Welcome to November

November 2, 2024
Greetings foolish mortals and welcome to November.  Amazing how fast October seemed to fly by.  Had so many things going on that I totally lost track of time and didn't update the site for the month.

So first off, the BBP started a new job!!!  Yay!!!  It's a job that he thinks he really is going to enjoy and he knows he'll excel at it because that's the way he is.  He takes any task or challenge presented to him and then he makes it his and owns it until he finishes.  He's had to overcome a lo...

September 30th - A challenging day

October 1, 2024
This might end up being a long post but it will have nothing to do with politics or Halloween. 

Today is and will always be one of the hardest days in my life. Today, 34 years ago, I lost a best friend, a roommate, a brother and his family lost a son and his future ended in a helicopter crash off the coast of Oregon. Many of my AW brothers were there and pleading to go into the water to try and assist but were denied. I can only imagine the frustration with that as we were Rescue Swimmers, tra...
