Watched the NY Giants defeat the New England Patriots 21-17 in Super Bowl XLVI on a nice, large plasma TV at the Tapias’ house. Except for the last five minutes it was probably one of the most unexciting, even boring, Super Bowl games I had ever watched. Since the three of us are west coasters …

There definitely were a lot of walkers, joggers, picnickers and bike riders out today getting in some sun and exercise before the big game this afternoon.

Had a fun time today hanging with my long-time friend, Sylvia. My visit bizarrely began and ended with viewing an overhead airship. Portent of some kind? We went to the newly opened/remodeled JCPenney at Plaza Bonita to check out what all the hubbub was about. We weren’t disappointed. The store was clean, organized, the staff …

The firsts of the months are some my happiest of days. Each time I get twenty-four new calendar photos, paintings, drawings or graphic images of Star Wars characters, Star Trek ships, landscapes, fifties pinup cuties, contemporary pinup beauties, fantasy and comic book pinups (noticing a theme?), hot pirate babes, other pirate characters, Pixar characters, Walt …
