My company has a meeting for our board members monthly in the very early morning. We serve up continental breakfast. After the meeting, we usually packed up any leftover pastries and fruit back to feed the people in the office. This morning, though, Tiffany, the Big Boss’ assistant, was determined to do a real good deed and give the lefovers to the bums instead. The place we hold them is only a block from our office. So here we were, marching down the block with all of our stuff from the meeting in carts and Tiffany leading the way with...

A few laugh out loud conversations we had this weekend that had me screaming, “I’ve GOT to blog this one!” First, Saturday night. We went to dinner with Brandon’s best friend Justin and his wife Olaina at a sushi joint in San Diego.

Brandon started his rant, “At some point, the County was talking about taking some of these holidays away. Man, you should’ve seen the reactions from some of the...

We scouted out the neighborhood we like tonight in Los Alamitos, and it’s all quiet with ample street parking. We like that. Just didn’t see any “For Rent” sign posted out front though. I have a feeling we’re heading toward the next town, Cypress…...

My worst fear was confirmed. Mom’s metastatic lung cancer has reached her brain. 2 lesions and a possible tumor. It drives me CRAZY how they didn’t put her on chemo or radiation the first time around. Even worse, when they found the one in her liver, they dragged her on without putting her on chemo right away. From my research, I told my dad to make damn sure they scan her brain. They weren’t going to do it but the US doctor they’re working with made them do so yesterday. Not to put down the whole doctor profession of Thailand,...

At a loss. Of blood. 6 viles today at the USC Health Science campus donation center for City of Hope’s bone marrow match programs. Of tears. And for word. Do I even need to talk about it? On my 3rd shot of vodka. 1 more than it is okay for the normal Oak consumption, numbing the pain....
