Garlic Festival
Man, what a weekend. It was a very memorable weekend and for three entirely different reasons. Let’s go with the bad first.
Oh that effervescent smell of manure and garlic. I’m talking about the Gilroy Garlic Festival. It’s a flea market looking festival that happens every year and my wife, for some reason unknown to man, [...]
Wrestling
I have been asked many times why I like watching and following professional wrestling. You know, the WWF. It’s really hard to answer because if the person doesn’t really understand the aspect of professional wrestling and just thinks it’s a bunch of fake guys in the ring hugging each other, they wouldn’t understand the reasoning [...]
The Block
After reminiscing about past days with a friend from what I’d like to call The Blockbuster Years, and also talking to my boy Albert, I came to a realization that I have made the right decisions thus far in my life.
Big Willie (Wilfredo) reminded me of how things were at The Block as Georgie [...]
Baseball
Man, yesterday was a tough day. I play baseball on Sundays in the spring and summer. And while the fire still burns in me to compete every weekend, I’m coaching now, so I have to be able to channel my energy and be able to turn that fire on and off. That’s part of the [...]
The Fluff
If you ever read anything from the Evil Fluffer himself, read his latest post from this Saturday. It’s a touching story about the relationship between he and his niece. Now she is moving away and he talks about how her trip away is affecting his life.
VeriSign
You’re heard the term that everything is cyclical. I’ve heard that said many times and now, I’m living it.
I was working at VeriSign.com in mid 1998. I was just doing temp work like filing (they still use my great filing system as well as my labels) and then learned how to do other things [...]
Follow Up
Quick update. I guess my memory failed me. As I was telling my wife of my writings yesterday, she basically told me that my memory sucks. If you read my latest post, I told the story of the origin of my two son’s first names. My wife told me that I had given my uncle [...]
Naming Kids
I was reminded twice in the past week why I gave my kids the names they have. On Saturday, Carol and I took the boys to a birthday party for my cousin’s son. I don’t really have much of a relationship with my cousin Aaron, let alone most of my father’s side of the family [...]
