Sep 21st - Here comes Fall

September 21, 2017
Greetings foolish mortals.  Here we are on the threshold to fall and I'm super excited.  The weather is changing, yes, we have a cool, rainy morning here in SoCal.  Awesomeness at it's finest!!!

Tonight is the opening of Knott's Scary Farm and I've got the scare pass so I can go every single night til Halloween.  I do plan on getting many visits in during that time and checking out all the haunts.  Going to be a 'Most Excellent" time. 

I love this time of year.  The season change, yes we get it here in SoCal unlike Florida which waits til December to get less hot, the haunts and there are many around here.  I do miss Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens and HHN at Universal Orlando but we have so many more here like Dark Harbor, the Queen Mary location, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Hollywood, Knott's Scary Farm here in Buena Park and there's also a few others down in San Diego.  It's good to be here. 

Also, with the NFL starting, it's feeling pretty good though so far, the games haven't been too watchable.  My Aquatic Mammals did beat the San Die...ERRR...Los Angeles Chargers this past weekend and some other teams I don't like lost too so some things are right in the world of sports.  Baseball is wrapping up and while my team didn't do much this year, I did get a chance to see them play the Angels.  Was a good night.

So that's a brief update from us out here to you out there.  Until the next time...

Sep 11th - Thankful

September 11, 2017
Greetings foolish mortals.  I know today is September 11th and while the day holds certain meaning to me, it now holds even more...Thankfulness.

Yesterday, I sat by helplessly and watched Hurricane Irma hit my home state of Florida.  I'd seen the devastation that it left behind it in the Caribbean and could only hope for the best as she moved towards my hometown area of Tampa Bay.  Luckily, the Gulf Stream, the effect Cuba had on it or just nature, caused her to veer more eastern and instead ...

September 8th - A journey begins

September 8, 2017
Greetings foolish mortals.  Happy Friday and Happy September 8th.  While we're safe on the west coast of the US, my friends and family are preparing to deal with Hurricane Irma.  Sending positive vibes and thoughts over there and hope comes out well and unharmed.

So onto September 8th.  Today, as it has been mentioned every year since I started this site, I've recognized this date as a turning point in my life.  It all started this day, 31 years ago where a skinny, naive kid entered the world ...

September 1st - Welcome September

September 1, 2017
Greetings foolish mortals and welcome to September.  Can already feel a change in the air, though it's very hot right now, but fall is around the corner.  That means the haunts are almost here too.  In just a few weeks, we'll be seeing all the excitement for Halloween.  And of course, football is here too!!!  Baseball is almost over and while my team hasn't done great, they're rebuilding and making progress.  Maybe next year, but then again, that's been my slogan for them for so long.  Oh wel...

August 8th - Almost

August 8, 2017
Greetings foolish mortals.  We're almost there for the BBP birthday.  Kind of ironic that on the same day, August 12th, though a year later, The Haunted Mansion opened its doors to the public in Disneyland.  Kind of a fitting tribute to the BBP if I say so myself. 

Anyway, things are going, been hot here on the best coast but can almost feel the change in weather coming. 

So until next time...

July 13th - Almost Halfway

July 14, 2017
Greetings foolish mortals.  Welcome to the almost middle of July.  I swear this month, this year is just flying by.  At least it's getting closer to our favorite time of the year.  And football camps will be starting soon too so we got that going for us...which is nice.

Made a couple of updates to the site with a new castle ruin.  Slowly but surely things are getting put up on here.  Still have my Alcatraz and San Fran trip to post about.  Might try to do that this weekend.  Yeah, I say that n...
