Random Thoughts on TV: Is it football season yet?

Random Thoughts on TV: Is it football season yet?

I’m bored. There’s nothing on TV. Yeah, I know. There are probably a ton of TV shows I haven’t discovered for one reason or another, but nothing seems to be tickling my fancy. It all seems like the same crap. I mean Fear Factor is on TV again. They have retooled a reality show. Or is that just a game show? Either way, no. And I think broadcast TV has hit the bottom of the barrel.

I’m reducing to watching Antiques Roadshow. Yes, I’m 136 years old. It’s not even a new Antiques Roadshow. It’s a freaking highlights show. I hate highlights shows. It’s like the producers went, “Hey we need to fill in some time, but don’t have enough new material for a show…HIGHLIGHTS!” I’m sure they all high-fived after that conversation too... Read More

Yes, I've been neglecting this blog.  I have a great reason though.  This year, we moved. Twice. And guess what? We still have half a house worth of stuff STILL TO MOVE. Yeah, relocating isn't an easy thing, especially when the market is smokin' hot!

Yeah, we went into this house hunting adventure thinking it was a buyers market. We couldn't be more wrong! Where we are at, it's a seller's market.  Around here, if you don't put an offer on a house the minute you walk through, kiss it goodbye.  When we didn't think we got the house we are currently living in, we actually put an offer on a house we never laid eyes on just so we'd have a chance to get it.  Yeah, it was nuts.  But luckily, we ended up winning the bid war and got the house we put our first offer on.

So, here I am.

Daddy-Daughter Day

Daddy-Daughter Day

It’s a Friday and I’m on a 9:55pm flight to Las Vegas.

My parents have been watching Daphne for the past week and I’m on my way to bring her back to Northern California.  I smile as I imagine the look on Daphne’s face when I walk into the room and she notices that it’s me; how so beautifully indescribable that feeling will be.

And then the reality of why I’m 10,000 feet in the air jolts me back to earth. I’m taking my baby girl back to Sacramento for one reason and one reason only:

Roger is going to die.

Upon that realization, my mind is back to where it was before takeoff: like a recent divorcee on a Thursday night, developing a plan to shoehorn as many memories as possible into one weekend.
