Move Over NYC!

Move Over NYC!

This year Sacramento has it’s own New Year’s Ball.  It’s not as famous as the NYC Ball, but it’s a start.  I hope it’s a sign of things to come in Sacramento.  Until then we are just gonna lay low and celebrate New Year’s in the safety and peace of our own home. Happy New [...]

Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye

We just received our rental of Eagle Eye from Netflix yesterday.  One thing that I can say is that it had one of the best car chase scenes that I’ve seen in a long time.  The plot was good too.  It reminded me of i-Robot sorta kinda, but better. If the top secret technology they [...]

Open For Business

Open For Business

Welcome!  If you followed a link from my old site My Hush Space, then you’ve come to the right place!  This is my new home.  As you can see from the number of posts, etc. that this site is still in development.  No worries it take shape soon enough.  Just need a few finishing touches [...]

Note To Self

Note To Self

I do not have to serve as a juror for at least another 18 months.  The court system and this particular case was interesting to say the least.  However, being part of a jury really sucks the life out of you. To deliberate the facts and apply them to the law is not as easy [...]

Keeping Organized

Keeping Organized

In just a few days it will be the New Year.  I’m excited about what the new year might bring.  I’m excited about our new president being placed into office and excited about positive change.  Change not only in our government, but changes right here at home. My resolution this year is simple.  I want [...]

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I have a lot to be thankful for this Christmas.  I have my health, a job, a roof over my head, clothes on my back and more.  I couldn’t ask for anything more.  Thanks to all that supported me through the years.  May your Christmas be merry and bright! I’ll be in jury duty tomorrow [...]

Jury Juggle

Jury Juggle

After postponing my Jury Duty service last month I could no longer avoid the inevitable.  I had to report to the Sacramento Superior Court at 8AM today.  It wasn’t fun getting up early and driving with traffic this morning, but it had to be done. The Jury Duty selection process seemed less painful this time [...]

Crawling

Crawling

Why is it when you’re anticipating some news, waiting to see a loved one, or waiting to get off of work, that time just seems to crawl.   This is how it’s been for me.  My mind has been pre-occupied with outside activities that the day seems to drag. Maybe because Christmas is around the corner [...]

Stay Home Day

Stay Home Day

Finally we had rain today.  I was starting to thing that global warming took away our Winter.  It’s mid-December and the autumn leaves are just starting to fall now.  Seems a little late, but better late than never.  I don’t mind that the Winter sleep take over our days.  It just means Hope and new [...]

Fogged In

Fogged In

Today was one of the foggiest days in Sacramento.  You could barely see three cars ahead of you. Murphy’s Law dictated my morning.  I had to make it to work before 8AM PST.  It was definitely a challenge with everyone driving carefully through the fog.  It didn’t help that I left 10 minutes later than [...]

Gonul’s J Street Cafe

Gonul’s J Street Cafe

Today we were in the mood for Turkish food so we went to the only known Turkish restaurant in town called, ‘Gonul’s J Street Cafe‘.  It’s in Sacramento downtown right off the 99 freeway.  When you get to ‘J’ Street you go through some medical offices and some Victorian looking homes before you get to [...]

The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight

Last night we watched the newest installation of the Batman movies, ‘The Dark Knight‘ on Blu-Ray.  We loved the action, gadgets, and story line, but most of all we were really impressed by Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker. Heath Ledger’s passing is unfortunate, but he really gave the performance of his lifetime in the [...]
