I love Black and White

I have always loved black and white photography. These are some of my favorites I've found lately.







What do you see?

My Momma

Last night I received a call from my nephew Jon telling me he and his family were headed over to my moms(his Grandma)to watch the Red Sox/Rays baseball game. I was extremely tired from working all day at the High school repairing the pitchers mound, that I passed on the invitation. Then the "when God speaks" comes bouncing in my brain, heart, everywhere.

My mom recently moved back to San Diego, thanks to Jon buying her a beautiful home in the private, secluded are of Monarch Ridge located in Rancho San Diego. Knowing that she turns 83 this November, I need to spend more time with her.

One of my other nephews, David, showed up with his family. What a fun night, with Filippi's pizza to top it off.

My kids love that Grandma is back after (7) years living in the high desert town, Apple Valley.

I love this quote from David Lee Roth, "Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it." So true! Thanks Jon

For some reason...

I often feel this way...

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.

So True ...

This was sent to me recently in an e-mail from a buddy. I just laughed and laughed due to the fact these statements are so true.

Drinks that Show Personality

Seven New York City bartenders were asked if they could 'nail' a woman's personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts. The results:

PART A: WOMEN-DRINKS, WHO THEY ARE, & YOU!

Drink: Beer
Personality: Causal, low-maintenance; down to earth.
Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.

Drink: Blender Drinks
Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in the ass.
Your Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy.

Drink: Mixed Drinks
Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance has very picky taste; knows EXACTLY what she wants.
Your Approach: You won't have to approach her. If she's interested, she'll send YOU a drink..................

Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel)
Personality: Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles.
Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with my friends.

Drink: White Zinfandel
Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and sophisticated, actually, she has NO clue.
Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is...this should be an easy target.

Drink: Shots
Personality: Likes to hang with pals and looking to get totally drunk... and naked.
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed. Nothing to do but wait, however, be careful not to make her mad!

Drink: Tequila
No explanations required - everyone just KNOWS what happens there.


PART B: MAN-DRINKS & WHO THE MEN ARE!

THEN, there is the MALE addendum -- The deal with guys is, as always, very simple and clear cut:

Domestic Beer: He's poor and wants to get laid.

Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid .

Wine: He is hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image to help him get laid.

Whiskey: He doesn't give a damn about anything but getting laid.

Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless waitress.

White Zinfandel: He's gay
