Ho Ho Hold on a Minute…

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Let me ask you, have you recently been mistaken for Santa (or Mrs.) Claus?

1222santa-on-the-scaleAre random kids jumping on your lap, telling you what they want for Christmas and that the have “good” all year?

Do people ask you where you parked your sleigh?

Are you shoes caked with crusty reindeer poop?

Are elves following you?

Are you unusually jolly?

When you laugh does anyone point and say “Hey look, a bowl full of jelly!”?

Yeah, there’s a lot of that going around this time of year.  And I can help you avoid further embarrassment and confusion.

Goodbye Dom DeLuise -RIP

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

On May 4th, 2009 funny man Dom DeLuise passed away. 

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.  While I did not know him personally, I did have the privilege of meeting him in the summer of 1983, when I was 12 years old.

It is no secret to my family and friends that I do not like to travel.  Especially by car. But we all have families, and with families comes obligations. But with me being me I generally do whatever I can to get out having to drive anywhere.  It is not that I do not like being there, I just hate getting there.

Both my wife and I have family in and around the Fresno Ca. area and this last weekend was my wife Denyse’s sister Amy’s, daughter Emerson’s 2nd birthday party.  Ok, maybe I should have just said my niece’s birthday – whatever.
