• Monday 30 | Is Harry Potter evil?

  2763 You’ve probably already the latest Harry Potter book by now. If you haven’t, then you aren’t likely to read it any time soon. Don’t worry, I’ll not spoil it for you – I never read any of the Harry Potter books. And I’m OK with that. I was reading a short post over at [...]

• Saturday 28 | It’s not what you say…

  Shelly at This Eclectic Life recently wrote about Fishing For An Audience which got me thinking… You see, she was talking about how we write (or blog) with a certain goal in mind. Typically it’s with the goal of getting an audience. How we define that audience really affects how we write. She mentions people [...]

• Thursday 26 | Mystery solved

  So today was our formal ultrasound. 2114 You may recall that back in May, we had a little scare which prompted an informal ultrasound. Everything turned out well but it was a very rough evening. But only after spending 5 hours on an emergency room gurney. Julia was supposed to photograph a wedding the next [...]

• Wednesday 25 | Chain meme

  My dear and close internet friend Radioactive Jam has dubiously invited me to participate in the most evil of evils – a chain meme. Actually, it’s not so bad because you do answer some very revealing ‘facts’ about yourself (which everyone loves) and you get to expand your internet relations to people you may not [...]

• Wednesday 25 | Who am I

  I was visiting Finn of A Life Less Ordinary where she was explaining how Finn isn’t really her name. That got me to thinking… Obviously my name isn’t archshrk but back when I started blogging, I knew it wasn’t a good idea to be so transparent. So I used my Internet Identity and refrained from [...]

• Monday 23 | Bayside Condos concrete pour

  San Diego, BAYSIDE condos ($795,000 to $12,000,000.each condo, 282 total.) 2111 This photo shows the concrete pour, last weekend, of the south one-half only of the ten-foot-thick RAFT slab, which supports the 35 story tower. This was a 258 truck ballet in which the contractor placed 11,500 yards of concrete in one monolithic pour that [...]

• Wednesday 18 | …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

  How can you resist a title like this? I mean come on! it has a certain poetic morbidity to it. I’m not sure if the dead are their own people (Bataan Death March) or their enemies (Mongol Hordes). Turns out it’s just some band’s name. 2099 So anyway, this was the author’s name of a [...]

• Tuesday 17 | Baby Registries, oh my

  We’ve begun the process of registering at the various places one sets up a baby registry. We’ve only just begun to add items but feel free to start shopping or to make suggestions or recommendations. It can be a bit overwhelming so anybody with a little experience can probably offer an idea about items we [...]

• Monday 16 | George Shiras 3d

  2019 “…You see the magazine, of course?” “Absolutely.” “Have you seen the number with the colored plates of the North American Fauna?” “Yes. I have it in Paris.” “And the number containing the panorama of the volcanoes of Alaska?” “That was a wonder.” “I enjoyed very much, too, the wild animal photographs of George Shiras [...]

• Wednesday 11 | Pictures of the Grand Canyon Skywalk

  There are a lot of visitors to my site that may not be aware of the fact that I went to the Grand Canyon Skywalk when it first opened back in March of 2007. While it has gotten some bad reviews, you can still see pictures I took before the camera ban was in place. [...]

• Tuesday 10 | I’ve shut the door on China

  I didn’t want to do it but let’s be honest…nothing good comes out of China these days. Actually, that’s not being very fair. The problem is that I’m getting a lot of spam comments and the URL for the commenter(s) is always something-random.something-with-car-name.cn (the domain for China). It wouldn’t bother me if it was getting [...]

• Thursday 5 | mis-matched flip flops

  2007 A while back, I was over at Fond of the Beach reading about This and That where she was showing off her new headband and sharing her feelings about flip flops. Admiring her headband photo I said warned you can have too many flip flops if you’re not careful. Take my wife and our [...]

• Monday 2 | Spiritual Dehydration

  I’ve lived in some form of a desert since I was 4 years old. The Mojave, Sonoran, and San Diego Deserts. I guess that’s why R. Sherman’s post on Spiritual Dehydration stuck a chord with me. I’ve always found it telling that when God wants to instruct His people, He sends them into some dessicated [...]
