Let Your Huge Inflatable Animal Light Shine

 

   It's your yard, and if the HOA allows them during all the standard holidays, they gotta allow them for whatever holiday it is you're celebrating.

The Ever So Sensible Plan For Happiness & Productivity

He had the positive self-talk down

Could quote Peale as if it was written on the back of his hand

He created an environment that stimulated creativity

That would have had Edison crying in his sleep

Wrote down his goals and reviewed them ten times a day

Keep them in focus, sharp as a Samurai's blade

Made damn sure everything he did was meaningful

And that whatever he did gave him an opportunity to shine

First thing everyday he wrote down a plan of action

That would make him joyful, productive and fruitful

Though not necessarily in the biblical way

Just wanted to stay motivated

Just wanted to stay real

Just wanted to stay in the game

Just wanted to be real

Heavy Wet Tree Branch Snapping Snow

    May snowstorms are not unusual in the Rocky Mountains, but heavy, wet snow like we received last night/this morning is. The media reported the snowstorm as the most snow for a day in May since the May of 2003.

   Sure took a toll on the trees in and around my neighborhood.

Tripping Through The Thistle Fields Of Life

 

Gotta admire a craftsperson who takes pride in their work and does the best job possible, even if the end results are very rarely ever to be seen.

The Cat Was Looking For Someone A Little Cooler

 

A Beautiful Day For A BallGame

 

   Yesterday was a beautiful day for a ballgame, especially for Padres fans. The Friars are enjoying a great start to the 2026 season, and continued that start with a come-from-behind victory over the Rockies compliments of a 3-run jack off the bat of birthday boy Gavin Sheets in the 9th.

   His father, former MLB outfielder Larry Sheets, had to be smiling from ear-to-ear.

   This game also featured the sons of two other former MLB players - Rockies 3rd baseman Kyle Karros, son of Eric, and Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr, son of Tatis Sr.

   Former MLB pitcher Billy Wagner's son Will also plays for the Padres, but he is currently on the IR so did not see any action in this game.

   Baseball is a very family-centric game.

   And yesterday was a great day to bring the family out to the ballpark, especially if your family is comprised of Padre fans.
