Thanksgiving Dinner 2011

Shea is all thumbs up to dinner and Addy :)

Rawhide

3rd Annual Thanksgiving Trip to Arizona

Heading out early, we stayed at the Microtel in Yuma, then drove into the greater Ahwatukee area the next day.  We stopped to check out the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass.  It was beautiful, as seen in Westways magazine. We dined at Rawhide

which was neato because Maria, Meg, Addy, Shea, Mikee & I had to take a water taxi to get there.  Which is always fun!  I mean, don't we look like we are having fun!

At Rawhide, we had some electrocutions before our steak dinners!

 

Shot at things

Became Wild Bill Hickok or Buffalo Bill Cody

Finally!



Shea & I went stood in line with all the other fans to see Twilight on the opening night at the Fashion Valley. :)

Rainy Movie Night

Rented Horrible Bosses & Bad Teacher last night, it was the perfect pizza & movie night.



This was so damn funny! Very crude and full of halarity! Diggit!
Bad teacher was ok, some vulgar one liners. :/

The Far Off Booms

I can hear them from my Point Loma home. I know that less that 10 miles away, our Commander in Chief sits, on Veteran's day, watching a show on the USS Carl Vincent.

What is always called to attention in my mind is that line drawn, especially on Veteran's Day, between "supporting the troops" or "being "un-American".

I hate that.

How's this sound. I hate the idea of mass corporations, therefore I hate all people who work for WalMart.

Syllogism reasoning does not work like this.

I hate American war-mongering. Our represent war mongering. I hate our troops.

Bullshit.

I happen to have a huge soft spot in my cold heart for military. I tear up at the national anthem. I love American history. I spent Veterans's day taking a kids to the Marine Corps Museum today. But I HATE wars. I HATE this ideal of "manifest destiny" globalization. I know what happens to countries when they get to big for their britches. And that does NOT mean that I "hate" or do not "support troops". That is crap. I am not un-american. I am uber-American. I am free thinker. I evaluate each and every idea that is presented before me. I do not swallow that that is force fed on me.

I am damn scared for that kharma this country's officials is earning for its people.

Each and every man and woman who served, I admire your courage. I sure as hell do.
If I had it to do again, as I have said before, I would have joined the Navy. I wish I did.

I do honor thy.

Veterans Day & Roller Skating

For Veteran's Day, I took Shea and her Pal Joey to the MCRD Museum and then to Skate World...
I can't seem to locate the pics.. :(
