like so many others<br />
yet all She wants<br />
is to be a mother.<br />
<br />
<br />
Strong willed<br />
yet<br />
unfulfilled.<br />
<br />
<br />
Beautiful<br />
inside<br />
& out<br />
still fruitful.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mired in a lifestyle<br />
with forever choices<br />
ahead for miles.<br />
<br />
<br />
Kind,<br />
full of life<br />
She doesn’t want<br />
to be a wife.<br />
<br />
<br />
Confused without a plan<br />
looking for an ear<br />
where She can.<br />
<br />
<br />
Not sympathy<br />
love & support<br />
advice, no lectures<br />
no words of last resort.<br />

I am moving to Chicago. Yep, this California guy is leaving the Gold Coast and moving to the 'The Windy City.' I know its time to go and the experience is good for me. California just isn't the same and rather than continue to be frustrated with the job market. The uncontrolled growth and the traffic that goes with all of the new people is choking the area. While nervous about moving to a new city, with no friends, I am excited about the change. Now I just have to get rid of 40 years of California stuff. Why do I have 5 pairs of flip flops?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844691.post-59023963768044020672016-05-31T16:58:00.002-07:002016-05-31T17:01:55.558-07:00WAITING FOR A FRIEND<br>
She is lost<br>
and I am anxious<br>
friends but<br>
suddenly different<br>
a new closeness<br>
a glance<br>
a touch<br>

was it just by chance<br>
Now we sit close<br>
and tell each other our dreams<br>

Little bird, little bird<br>
what do you see<br>
flying high above <br>
to the sea<br>
alone or in a pack<br>
you move both<br>
left and right<br>
with the wind<br>
at your back<br>
up, down, back and forth<br>
fly, fly, day, and night<br>
the things you see<br>
going out to the sea<br>

This is why I live in Southern California. Right now I am on the patio with the laptop doing homework. Soon the BBQ will be fired up and with a couple of cold beverages and the Dodger game on the radio. Clear, sunny and warm, cold beer, a tri-tip on the BBQ and the beautiful sound of Vin Scully's voice in the background.

I am showing the play list that we received that night. Badlands and Brilliant Disguise were perfect and I will remember those 2 songs for a long, long time. Song #20 which is listed as (OUT) was "Dancing in the Dark" and a little girl 5 maybe 6 years old was brought on stage from the crowd. She was on her dads shoulders and Bruce brought her up and she reprised the Courtney Cox seen from the video! She gave him a kiss on the cheek and he then gave her a kiss on the cheek and back to the crowd she went an amazing, amazing moment. Nils Lofgren was great, Little Stevie was just as great but when Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine/ Audioslave came out and played WHOOOOOO HOOOO that was a freakin heart stopping moment. I had a great time and will remember the night for a long time. Oh yeah we had a few drinks before the show!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844691.post-73633351233081642152008-04-04T19:11:00.000-07:002008-04-04T19:14:05.619-07:00Happy BirthdayHappy Birthday to my twin nieces,<br /><br /> They turned 23 on April 3rd<br /><br />Lotsa of loveUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844691.post-22149083882259446792008-03-23T18:29:00.000-07:002008-03-23T18:45:18.545-07:00Happy EasterWell I am back in town from Spring Break and I have to go back to work and college on Monday. My trip to Phoenix was good and I am glad to be back. It is beautiful outside today, it is about 80 degrees here at the beach and on Easter Sunday that means flip flops, shorts, T-shirts and of course BBQ. It is very warm with no sea or ocean breeze today, back from Phoenix and it is warmer here at the coast than it was in Arizona.<br /><br />How is the weather where you are? Is it snowing today, maybe it is raining or maybe where you are it is still winter, What a shame, you should be here. <br /><br />Today on the BBQ are a couple of large ham steaks with some fresh asparagus and a spinach salad, SO how was YOUR Easter?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844691.post-57763516428861154802008-03-13T22:46:00.000-07:002008-04-12T11:43:05.423-07:00I feel like I am HOME<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg81EQ4CXpvyC02uDtaKjYDrbJxTPsgjGaOqz4qPm_Y2xZACO4hl8HESRPN1CZsrJvy1Pkj-rNmMTZZ8plbkyKjPYAqZ5XI9ogEv7Kq6SeIF9J5yinzlBYXtBfdZfd3YLKrXQi/s1600-h/petes+stuff+268.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg81EQ4CXpvyC02uDtaKjYDrbJxTPsgjGaOqz4qPm_Y2xZACO4hl8HESRPN1CZsrJvy1Pkj-rNmMTZZ8plbkyKjPYAqZ5XI9ogEv7Kq6SeIF9J5yinzlBYXtBfdZfd3YLKrXQi/s320/petes+stuff+268.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188431113540406978" /></a><br /><br /><br />I am in Phoenix Arizona for baseball, beer, babes and beautiful sunshine.

I mean the weather was AWESOME!!!!! A little yard work first and then cleaning the BBQ and it was 80 degrees on Saturday. A perfect chance to BBQ some steaks, drink a beer or two and get some sun. Sunday was even better, Daylight Savings everyone schedule is off and brunch was wonderful. Back to the house with everyone and then a little more BBQ tonight. Chicken, shrimp, a spinach salad some vegetables and a glass of wine now and then made for a wonderful afternoon. I saw on the TV that a few of you were snowed in, to bad the Midwest and parts of the south were just overwhelmed with a winter blast you could have been here at the beach.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844691.post-6284097125869375302008-01-01T16:03:00.000-08:002008-01-01T16:05:27.301-08:00HAppy New Year<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicusfz8RgVICCepa-Py6o04cAub53b7IkbUJMxMZeH2fIyo9hOTNzJGR8fuxjA-NNV1GMvqpccU6P8NL6X6t2DZwJAxZraoMcOElbEzXzy-nuDgPbzAuWUAzAJ0GR_LDevrQi_/s1600-h/calvin_hobbes_640_480_sized.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicusfz8RgVICCepa-Py6o04cAub53b7IkbUJMxMZeH2fIyo9hOTNzJGR8fuxjA-NNV1GMvqpccU6P8NL6X6t2DZwJAxZraoMcOElbEzXzy-nuDgPbzAuWUAzAJ0GR_LDevrQi_/s320/calvin_hobbes_640_480_sized.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150663594342252226" /></a><br />I miss this from years ago, I hope that YOU miss it as well.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844691.post-7024915186307246602007-12-25T17:59:00.000-08:002007-12-25T18:06:56.125-08:00Please go hereThis is where everyone should go and help.
