You snooze you lose!

That’s true of most things in life, but right now this is true of Comic Con, which is coming up this weekend.  Can you believe it’s already completely sold out?!  The 4-day pass sold out months ago and the one day passes sold out last week.  Luckily, we’ve secured 2 tickets for the last day, [...]

A weekend of sunshine, glitter, feathers, and most of all…PRIDE!

July 19 & 20 was the weekend of San Diego Pride.  As usual, the weekend kicked off with the most fabulous and fierce parade of thousands marching for those who can’t.  This is a parade unlike any other, and one that Jojo and I love to attend.  The moment we step out onto University Avenue [...]

Charlie’s 1st birthday!

They grow up so fast, don’t they?  Just as you’re cradling them in your arms, they start walking all of a sudden, then running, then wreaking havoc upon your cats!  Before you know it, they’re all grown up.  That’s why it’s so important, when a child turns one, that you let him dive into his [...]

who wants more MPG?

Not miles per gallon…Mia, Priscilla, & Ginger of course!  Meet Priscilla, the lovely, dark-haired ping pong princess.  Priscilla came to us with the request of shooting her family portrait.  At first we thought, sure!  It’ll be fun to shoot you with your brother and parents!  Priscilla quickly replied, “No not those clowns! I want portraits [...]

what would you say to a girl on her 13th birthday?

My cousin’s daughter, Nani, is turning 13 on July 29th and she asked all us cousins to offer some words of advice for Nani.  What piece of advice could I pass on to a girl maturing into a young woman?  Let’s see, I should know this, I was 12 going on 13 once.  I turned [...]

US Open 2008 – Table Tennis

Many people don’t know this about table tennis…but it is an addiction!  Table tennis, or ping pong, can invade your life if you don’t watch out.  Once you get a taste of how that ball can spin, or the first time you make a sweet smash on your opponent, you may never get away from [...]

vamos rafa!!!

Just a quick post to congratulate Rafael Nadal on winning his first Wimbledon!  This match is being called one of the greatest matches in the history of tennis.  Unfortunately, we were only able to watch the first half this morning.  As soon as the rain started (in England), we decided to hit the road and [...]

vegas here we come! (again)

Just to make things clear, I think we go to Las Vegas WAY too much.  Twice a year or more is more than enough to enjoy the sweltering and smothering heat of the Entertainement Capital of the World (according to Vegas).  What brings us to Vegas (again) this year?  Nothing more than the US Open [...]
