Sep 26th - First blog of Fall

September 27, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals!!!  Welcome to the first Fall blog.  I know.  What happened?  Been busy with lots of things going on all over this thing called life.  Fast and Furious as well as insane in the membrane.

Well, I say this as the first Fall blog but these past couple of days have seen the temp rise up into triple digits.  Was actually 106 here today.  WTH???  We do not like that.  No sir indeed.  We like waking up and feeling the crisp air and also the evening cooler temps.  More to do with this time of year.

So good news on the football front.  The aquatic mammals managed to win a game yesterday, even though they tried and wanted to lose but they managed to pull one out.  Also, the New York football Giants managed to lose even though to another hated team, the Redskins, but at least they lost so it's all good.  Yeah, there's a couple of teams I despise and always cheer when they lose. 

Sad day in sports too as Jose Fernandez died early Sunday morning in a boating accident.  He was a tremendous pitcher who was on his way to greatness.  Very sad day as he was also going to be a new father.  Heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and team.  Also we lost a true legend and gentleman with the passing of Arnold Palmer.  Sad day for golf.

Now we're focusing on so many things at once it's making our head spin.  Need to breathe and seek the universe to help out. 

So until it hopefully gets cool very quick and the next time...

Sep 14th - Action!!!

September 15, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals.  Hope all is well in the world with everyone today.

Had to write about my experience yesterday.  Spent the day at Universal Hollywood and had a great time.  While the park isn't that big and doesn't have a whole lot of attractions, it was still pretty cool and the day was perfect.  Not crowded at all and the weather was just as perfect.  Maybe 70 degrees.

First place hit was Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.  This one is in 3-D, unlike Orlando, and I while I rea...

A momentous day in the history of BBP.  It was 30 years ago this day that I left to begin my Naval career. September 8th has stood out a few times in my life but that first time changed a boy into a man. Happy September 8th!!!

Sep 1st - Hello September, goodbye August

September 1, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals.  I can't believe we're here now in September.  Summer is almost behind us and my favorite time of the year is almost here too.  I do wish I was going to be able to go to Epcot for the Food and Wine festival but right now, it looks doubtful.  But...who knows???

Been a busy time for the BBP and this week has been no exception.  Lots to do, lots to plan and much more to get into motion.  I still also need to get my photos from Europe, which I left almost a year ago, ont...

Aug 8th - Monday

August 8, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals.  Well, looks like I had a slight hiccup on my interface here due to forgetting to update my CC info from an expired card.  All is well though as I've updated the info and am now moving forward.

What a weekend it was.  Having some kind of emergency replacements taking place at work and having to shut everything down and then hope they came back up when it was time.  Of course, as things go and with my last name, it didn't work out at all so I was stuck here for a few ...

Aug 1st - Welcome to the dog days of summer

August 1, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals and welcome to the first day of August.  I swear this year is really flying by and there doesn't seem to be slowing it down either.  At least we're getting to my favorite time of year when things will start cooling down and that feel will be in the air of Fall.  Then it's time to visit the haunts and that I can't wait for. 

Been pretty hot out here too but some nice times ahead as this past weekend had the Midsummers Haunt experience at the Long Beach Convention Cent...

July 29th - TBIF

July 30, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals and thank Bill it's Friday.  The end of the week is here and it's time to enjoy the weekend and do what we do best.  There's a midsummer Halloween event going on here so I may go visit that.  Whatever I do, it's good to be living life.  Never take anything or anyone for granted.

Until next time...

July 22nd - 5 years

July 22, 2016
It's been 5 years since I found out you left. It's been longer since I last saw you. On days like today, I reflect back on many things you said to me. I listen to your stories over and over and I relish the time I did have with you. You made love easy to feel, easy to give and easy to share. Your warmth kept the cold away and your heart kept us all inside. You are missed very much and loved very much more. I love and miss you Grandma.

July 20th - Happy Hump Day

July 20, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals and happy hump day.  The week is now on the downslope so we got that workin for us...which is nice.

Some new pics were posted to two new pages under Travels with Pictures.  Tombstone, the town too tough to die is added along with the Alamo.  Two places I had been wanting to see for a long time and I finally saw them this past October.  Was amazing and fascinating.

Other than that brief news, not much else is going on.  Just remember to be a decent person to everyone, u...
