I’ll still be podcasting and at the CRN, but that’s when the kids get here.  The kids spent Monday afternoon with me, we took the subway to Hollywood and Highland, went to Johnny Rockets (The peanut butter chocolate shakes are amazing!) and saw G-Force at the El Capitan (It runs there through Sept. 7th, I highly recommend it, the “G-Force Experience” that ticket holders get to go to after the film was so much fun.  Disney does stuff right!)  As you’ve seen, I’ve been documenting the fire from my point of view… Luckily it looks like fire fighters are getting the upper hand, so last nights may have been the end of my fire photos.  I had to take care of my burnt out brake light ticket today… It’s never fun having to go to the courthouse, even when it is something minor.

I kind of bummed that summer is coming to an end… Although, I guess that I could look at it as the start of fall and winter.  I just am not as into those seasons as I am summer.  Dark earlier, cold weather, holidays, taxes, just can’t compare to long hot days, warm nights, BBQ’s,  tan lines.  I think it’s extra hard this year because my little girl starts kindergarten… My baby is starting school, which means we’re all getting older.  It was just a few years ago that I would tip-toe into her room on those cold winter mornings and make sure that she was covered and snug in her crib… Now, on the weekday she is with me, it will be about trying to wake her up, get a healthy breakfast and get to school before the bell.  I know they can’t stay babies forever (No matter how much I would like that!), but why do they have to grow up so fast?  And they get so smart, just yesterday she asked “If all drains lead to the ocean, why do you throw matches into the potty?” (Which I do when I light candles)  I don’t why that caught me off guard? I think because you forget that those tiny brains are working overtime and when we say something (like “all drains lead to the ocean”) it sticks, and they think about it.  It made me really want to make sure I pay attention to what I say, and the accuracy of my explanations.  As bummed as I was by all this, I did realize… At least I still have Bing, and he’s small for his age – So I should be able to squeeze a little extra baby time in with him (Although, he’ll be the first one to tell you “He’s not a baby! He’s a big boy!”  and if you don’t believe him he’s libel to show you his “Big Boy Panties” like Daddies!)

She’s breaking out of here! These pigs are out of here too!  And this guy wants back in!  Look what he caught.  The other 9 can’t remember if they did or didn’t?  The people from the previous story should move to Italy.  Enjoy kraut fest.  This sounds good.  It was good for some.  How many ounces per gallon does it cost?

Rock On, Jack
