…and some of the new too. Folks. Our fridge is, for now, officially dead. Monday morning, as I stumbled out of the bathroom after all the vomiting, in search for a glass of lightly iced water, I opend the freezer to find water dripping from the ice dispenser. (We have a built in ice maker but we didn’t have the water hook up in this apartment. So Brandon has been buying chipped ice to put in the ice storage.) I poked at the Jimmy Dean frozen breakfast sandwich in the door compartment. The biscuit was soft. The box frozen peas...

Carroll saves his best coaching job … for his last USC game? C’mon, Bill! Let us Trojans be happy and shower Uncle Pete with love. Don’t be overshadowing the worst case scenario so soon! And…best picture of the year… Oh, yeah. Hi, gang. Happy New Year. 🙂 Stomach has settled down. Throwing up has stopped by I felt icky the rest of Monday.

Still, dad said that didn’t stop the private affairs in hotels around town. The fireworks were still going on when I spoke to him. The family is...

2006 can be summed up in just one word. Change. It started with mom’s health from her radiation earlier in the year to chemo in February, and finally, the stroke that debilitated her in July. I did go home twice in one year for the first time ever, and despite it all, I managed to have a few days of absolutely good times. Then we moved out of the Long Beach College Dorm 2.0 into a quiet residential neighborhood of Los Alamitos. I switched to take the bus. Brandon gets a permanent position. Friends and family all around have their...
