Assorted thoughts, news bits, etc.

I am so glad spring is almost here, and can't wait to get up in the mountains to fish. Also glad daylight savings time is back. More daylight hours to get stuff done around the yard. I am currently weeding my garden area, (about 3/4 done) I planted a sago palm tree in the front, and am waiting for my Japanese maples to burst forth with foliage. And yes, I still have the best lookin lawn in the neighborhood. Dang right....

The girls are doing well in school and are turning into fine young ladies. And at this point, they still like spending time with me, which makes me so happy! (dare I say that I am a dork, yet still a cool Dad?) (Semi-cool?)(Kinda Cool)(a little cool)(never mind) We went on a hike last Sat. up near Cool, Ca. in the Knickerbocker rec. area. Over 2000 acres of rolling foothills, with lots of wildlife and open space. We had a blast.
And I told them they have plenty of time to spend with me until I allow them to date, when they turn 34. Seriously though, I cannot say it enough, but I am so proud of my daughters, and love them so very much! Hugs....

Kathie made a homemade turkey pot pie yesterday. Can you say scrum-delicious? Thanks baby!

I now have over 110 friends on Facebook. Does that make me popular? Or pathetic...Oh just admit it, you want alot of friends too! Its OK, look people up and have fun with it. Add me, and I may just think about sending you a Christmas card this year. I will only think of it, not actually do it, but at least I am honest. BTW, if you are a Facebookie, (I just made that up, but it has a nice ring to it) check out Gangster Battle. You get to control your own Crime Family and work your way up the Syndicate. It is fun, so check it out and join my "family". Just give me respect and donta maka me mad!

I have watched Lost from the beginning, and am now convinced the creator is on Crack. I am now hoping the whole Island gets blown up by a nuke, but Hurley survives and becomes an offensive lineman for the Raiders. He can't be any worse than what they already have, right?

Speaking of parents, we are so blessed to have good ones, on both sides of the family. We do not get to see the Motz's very often, as they live in Colorado. We miss the, and are praying that God opens a way for them to move back to Sac. Fred, I'll make you some homemade jam, and Joanne, I'll let you spoil the girls. We love you guys!
My folks are the busiest retired folks we know, and are always jetting or driving off somewhere. In spite of that, they help us out alot, and we appreciate it. We don't always voice it, but thanks for being good role models, (yes, I got my panache from my Dad!) and for supporting us in so many ways. For old people, you sure are awesome!

Raleys have not announced a winner yet for the commercial contest, but I will let you know if Chris, my co-worker won or not. I can taste that Eye of the hawk....

Another co-worker, Jessica, asked me to write a poem about her. So here it is:

Jessica

Jessica tries to karate chop me.
So when I see her I try and flee.
She sneaks around and tries to chop.
But I see her coming and away I hop.
She hides very well and makes no sound.
So I am very careful and look all around.
Now she jumps out and I think I am dead.
She karate chopped my neck, and off came my head.

That's all for this time people, stay funky and fresh.

Faith, Hope & Love
