Cat Scratch Followup

Took my mom for a followup doctor visit to check on her cat scratch wound from last Saturday. After waiting only about five minutes we were ushered into one of the exam rooms by a polite and very friendly new nurse named Regina who basically narrated everything she did, including which buttons she clicked on …

Mami Vs. Mr. Blue

So before she went to church, my mom stopped at my brother’s house to drop off a kitten calendar that was a gift from my sister. My brother has five cats, three of which are black siblings and one of which is named Mr. Blue. My mom reached down to say hi to Mr. Blue …

VP Biden’s Live Gun Control Hangout

Another example of the amazingly connected times we live in was today’s live, online Google+ Hangout by Vice President Joe Biden, moderated by PBS NewsHour’s Hari Sreenivasan. The half hour was meant as an unscripted fireside chat where Sreenivasan and three invited guests would ask questions of Biden about his newly proposed gun control policies. …

CES Keynote

Watched an incredibly weird CES keynote address live from Las Vegas, given by Dr. Paul Jacobs of San Diego’s own Qualcomm. First time in many years that Microsoft had not given the keynote. Jacobs went through the usual upcoming product (processor) announcement gloating, which really did sound pretty impressive, but then things started to get …

Family Christmas, Belated Style

My younger brother and his family came out for a New Year’s visit, which is when we decided to hold our annual family Christmas get-together and dinner. No photos of the actual dinner exist because it was a bit of a haphazard, some eat now, some eat later deal, but at least we got everybody …

Slightly Belated Birthday Dinner

All the members of my San Diego family gathered for a belated birthday dinner for me this evening. They included my mom, of course, two siblings, a nephew, his girlfriend, my favorite niece and a brother-in-law. There were no gifts, as is always my want. (Lisa! But thanks for the poop calendar.) This was the …

My Annual Facebook Birthday Wishes

Collected all of the Happy Birthday wishes I received on Facebook into one single image. Thankfully it always turns out to be a lot of work and that’s a great complaint to have. I am very grateful for all of the good wishes, but I’m not sure I’ll want to do this again next year.

Quick Dog Stop

Had a quick lunch with my mom at Waldo’s Chili Dogs in Clairemont Town Square. After all these years she has finally grown to love hot dogs. They’re quick, delicious and cheap. My hound of choice for today was a Pastrami Dog. Very tasty.

Google+ Communities

So Google introduced a new feature in their Google+ social environment: Communities. And that was my cue to jump in as quickly as possible. I understood right away that this was something that Google+ had desperately needed to become a more interactive place for all gmailers, not just a few who wanted something other than …

New iTunes

Upgraded to the new version of iTunes. It looks much cleaner and better organized and I’m sure it won’t take very long to get used to the changes, especially since I literally use iTunes ever single day. Most of the issues will arise from trying to find where all the links have been placed in …

It Was A Dark And Cloudy Night…

Got this quick shot of our neighbor’s house during a full moon. This is where I sometimes house-sit with eight black cats and occasionally one black dog. Good thing I’m not superstitious.

Here’s Waldo

Ran a buttload of errands with my mom which included a lunch stop at Waldo’s Chili Dogs at Clairemont Square. I’d eaten there once before and I knew how much my mom likes hot dogs. We both ordered the Avocado Bacon Hot Dog and they were really good. We split a bag of Fritos and …

Back At Tune Craft…Again

Had to take the car back to our mechanic at Tune Craft yet again to get ongoing problems taken care of. Second time in about a month after a long string of repairs. The car has been a bit of a lemon since the beginning, but it’s kind of stuck in the middle of that …

Holidays Rule

Using an Amazon.com coupon code for a $1.99 Christmas album I purchased “Holidays Rule” with songs performed by a wide variety of artists. Not bad for less than $2 and yay for adding new Christmas music to my collection.

New Butt ‘R Fly

While out in the backyard this morning I watched another Monarch Butterfly emerge from its chrysalis, our fourth in about a week, with another three still to hatch. This one was hiding under the lip of a large, plastic flower pot. Never get tired of watching this happen.
