Let it be known that GranPaBrian spent a short period of time with the little girl on Friday evening, AND then all afternoon on Saturday, AND did not take out his cell phone to take any pics of her. He also didn’t bring a camera with him either. Enjoying the life of Lailah without a camera in my hands is something totally foreign to me - what a concept. What.is.the.world.coming.to?

Going bald
August 7, 2018 By
Many yrs ago, someone informed me that I had a bald spot at the top rear of my head. I told them I didn’t care about it since there really wasn’t anything I could do about it. It’s a part of a guy’s life, with getting older, etc. And, that’s been my attitude for the past 5-10 yrs. Until last night. O.m.g. If you’ve been paying attention, I got my hair cut last night. Upon getting home, I … [Read more...]
New comedy show: Better Things
August 7, 2018 By
So, who’s watching “Better things”, with Pamala Adlon?? Stumbled across it a few nights ago, and have watch 1/2 of S1 already (10 eps per season). It’s not hilarious funny, but I’m enjoying it. … [Read more...]
Haircuts and selfies
August 7, 2018 By
The great thing about “new hair cut” selfies, you can always “forget” to take a “before” pic of how bad your hair looked before the new cut. 😱🙄😉🤓 … [Read more...]
Friday in the park – with The Little Girl
August 5, 2018 By
[sorry for the lack of paragraphs.] Re: Friday evening. The four of us get to the local park around 6:30, and the band is playing 80’s oldies (specifically, Chicago’s “Saturday in the park”). It’s cloudy out, not too hot. We set up our chairs more toward the water gizmo area, than our usual area near the music/stage. GranMaRose gets out the blanket and lays it out on the grass. The little girl is … [Read more...]
How to pronounce “Crayon”
August 3, 2018 By
“CRAN” - get it right, it’s “CRAN”! There was a video of people pronouncing it in different ways - gotta find the link to it. … [Read more...]
Friday in the park – “checkin in”
August 3, 2018 By
Place: Kelley Park (coordinates: 44.72846993248, -93.204396725) With the little girl, Baby Ruby (who still isn’t saying much to me), and GranMaRose, listening big band playing hits from Chicago (could be a rock band too, I guess) More later. Nice cool evening out here … [Read more...]
Initial build of Goober’s Towing from KC Workshop
August 2, 2018 By
Started this kit tonight, took less than 2 hours to get this far. Braced the interior walls, primed the exterior walls with gray primer. Dry brushed on the green paint, put some “white” on a sponge and splotged / textured the green paint, weathering it. Glued on acetate onto the interior walls over the window areas. Somehow, in the last several kits I started putting the acetate on the interior … [Read more...]
Good day at work – probably was coding a new enhancement
July 31, 2018 By
Gotta be quick, we’re about to pull into the (Beautiful Downtown) AV transit station. Had a great day today work-wise. Yesterday wasn’t so bad either. In fact, had a great week last week as well. Most of the time work is just ordinary, but there are some days when it’s really fun and not the usual boring, or not challenging enough routine. Hope everyone out there had a good day too. BigB. 😉🤓 … [Read more...]
Tweeting Racist/Homophobic msgs as a teenager
July 30, 2018 By
I don’t know, can any intolerant 17-18 yr old homophobic and/or racist teenager change into a tolerant, non-discriminatory person in just 5-7 yrs as a young adult? I’m not so sure. Have they changed their tune because they actually saw the light, or just because they were “caught”? The article mentions not just one, but a handful of young MLB players who’ve been outed by their … [Read more...]
