Dec 25th - Merry Christmas

December 26, 2020
Merry Christmas foolish mortals!!!  We've made it this far and the day is almost over.  Haven't been the most festive times this year as we've endured Covid.  I've only watched A Christmas Story maybe 1 time altogether.  

Hope everyone has had a good and safe day.

Until next time...

BBP out!!!

Dec 1st - Hello December

December 2, 2020
Welcome foolish mortals...to December.  I know I didn't update last month.  Was so busy with so many things that I never really got to do much else then work.

Hopefully everybody had a nice Thanksgiving and had a little break too last week.  I was able to rest and relax a little.

Not sure how I feel about the holidays this year.  It's nice that they're here and maybe give a little diversion from the rest of this chaos going on but we shall see.  

We've had beautiful weather here though it's been...

Nov 1st - Hello November

November 2, 2020
Welcome foolish mortals...to November.  Well, last night was Halloween and while I drove around and saw a few people out trick or treating, it was mostly a quiet, empty night.  I didn't do anything special as I would have normally would have been at Knott's Scary Farm.  I did decorate my office and had it looking pretty good.  Other than that, I really didn't recognize this year.

So here we are in another month and in a few days we will hopefully be electing a new president and get the ass clo...

Oct 15th - Midway

October 15, 2020
Greetings foolish mortals.  Here we are in the middle of the month and while I would normally be excited about tonight, it's Thursday and Knott's Scary Farm would be on my list of places to go, I'm not.  I've gotten used, I guess, to not doing anything this year.  It's been crazy and disappointing all at once.  We'll get through this but hoping it improves.

One thing I didn't do on here was mention my grandmother on her bday which was Oct 5th.  She would have been 105.  She passed just before ...

Oct 1st - Welcome

October 1, 2020
Welcome foolish mortals...to October.  A shout out to WDW and their 49th birthday.  Even though they're laying off a bunch of workers, hope the year gets better for them and they can rehire all those cast members back.

So not a whole lot is really going on.  We're in October, which is a great time...normally and Fall is here.  Had things been "normal", I would have been enjoying my second week attending Knott's Scary Farm but alas, we have nothing like that this year.  There's a few small thin...

Sep 30th - A Day of Remembering

October 1, 2020
Greetings foolish mortals.  Here we are at the last day of September.  While tomorrow is the beginning of October and we're in the fanfare of my favorite time of the year, this is always a special day and it's not for a good reason.

30 years ago on this day, I lost one of my best friends and two other friends in a helicopter crash.  I was on my way to the Persian Gulf for Desert Shield later Desert Storm.  Off the coast of Oregon on this night, my roommate Bill "Nick" Nolte was killed in a dua...

Sep 10th - Memories

September 10, 2020
Greetings foolish mortals.  It's been a couple of days since the anniversary but I wanted to acknowledge it, even if it is a couple of days late.

September 8th has held special memories for me.  It was on this day in 1986, 34 years ago, that I left home as a young, naïve, 18 year old kid, and joined the United States Navy.  It was a far cry from easy and there were several times I felt like quitting, but in my stubborn mind, that would not happen.  I didn't start my career the way I wanted to...

Sep 1st - Welcome to September

September 1, 2020
Welcome foolish mortals!!!  Here we are in September.  The greatest birthday month in history is now behind us and we're looking forward.


Been crazy going ons again in this country of ours.  We have never been so divided like this that I can ever recall.  One side blames the other who in turns blame them.  However, the one "leading" the country is the cause of all this and so are his minions.  It's bad enough you have people who feel empowered to treat others a certain way because of their ski...

Aug 20 - Month of hell

August 21, 2020
Greetings foolish mortals.  Wow!!!  What a month August has been.  It's been hot as hell out here in SoCal.  We got fires going on and earthquakes.  

The BBP even had a birthday last week but was too sick to really enjoy it.  Caught some kind of bug that really took us out of commission for about 5 days.  UGH!!!  There wasn't really much celebrating either as we're locked down still.  Had a little bit of fun but overall, not much or enough.

With the announcement that all the Halloween events ar...
