Like Eating Heaven

We went over to Tasia’s friends, Kristen & Ivan’s house for a “Bacon Party”, which was really awesome 
and a lot of fun. The whole theme was bacon and pork goodness. We took bacon wrapped dates, stuffed
with some yummy cheese. It was F@#KING tasty!!! There were great apps, lots of booze and made some
great new memories.

Forty at Last

It’s hard to believe that the youngest of our group is finally FORTY. Chad has always
been my best friend, even through we have had our rough spots and epic fights. I know
he always has my back, and I have his. I talked with Wendy and planned a little (small)
surprise soiree at Kensington Grill. When Chad and Wendy walked in Tasia, Shasta and
myself we sitting at the bar, drink in hand. He thought it was just a coincidence but then
put it all together. We had a really good time and even squeezed in the Bluefoot afterwards.

Happy Birthday Bubby.

Saying Goodbye to Chuckles

Todd and the family finally left for Michigan. The realization of this at the (post) Memorial Day party was very
sad for me. By the time they actually left, I was extremely happy for them and the start of their new lives.
Tracey will still be working for SignTech remotely and the kids will have the opportunity to be kids with a lot of
room to play and grow.

I will be sad in losing one of my closest friends that I have known since 1984 (Freshman year), but will hold
many great memories of growing up, growing old, geeking out, gaming and just living life. Thanks T.

Revolution of the Silver Screen

Movies have changed my life in many ways, just like comics, tv and most definitely music. Movies are
great “milestone” moments, that you can say I with so-and-so when I saw that. Or I remember seeing it
in the theater (a big deal for old guys like me). I have never tried to compile my top 10 movies of all time, 
probably because the task seems daunting but I have decided to take a crack at it.
