Re: Can't resist telling this story about my Dad. - Today

In college I worked as a swim instructor during the summer at a swim school in Redondo Beach, Ca. During the day all the students were kids ranging in age beginning at 3 yrs. During the evenings we taught adults-they were the worst. The adults had built in fear that they had lived with all their life. Very hard to teach as most all were stiff with fear. Kids were fun and easy because you could

Saw it yesterday-at IMAX theater - 8 days ago

I thought it was a truly good movie and met all my expectations. If your a F1 fan your familiar with James Hunt-a real playboy but very quick but almost too aggressive. As Lewis Hamilton the executive producer of the film said the movie was inspired by Hunt. The movie will get you as close to actually being inside a F1 race car at full speed in an out of turns , spinning out of control, accidents

Re: Is living on the coast the best? - 16 days ago

Love the coast for all the reasons you don't. Mainly wind ! Something so mysterious about it-the sound through the trees-the artistry of the trees in the strongest winds. Love the foggy days-I'm a "rainy day" type guy. Always have been. Fondest memories are outside in a storm. Skiing when it's really bad weather and no one around. Coming back from the islands during rain and small craft

Re: Why is cutting non productive player Karma - 6 weeks ago

You make all the sound arguments for what the Dodgers did. I can't argue these since my Karma take is totally different take. Apples vs Oranges? One person prefers apples another oranges. Neither can argue against the other. Karma: "(in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences."

Dodgers - 7 weeks ago

I know looking at the numbers it's beyond argument that the Dodgers did the right thing in cutting Barnsey and Taylor and sending Outman back down. But something the numbers don't show is Karma. And I believe in Karma and whatever it is tells me that all this just won't work out. And when it's over and done with no one will say anything about Karma but in my mind it will be loud and clear.

My neighbor and drinking buddy has worked for Ferrari for over 40 years. He travels around the country certifying Ferraris that have original parts making them more valuable. Before that he worked the circuit and is actually in scenes in the Steve McQueen movie "LaMans". He argues the very best movie -in terms of accuracy-was the 60s movie "Grand Prix".

And these people have every right to purchase tickets for the team they were a fan of from where they left. IMO it would be a terrible mistake to tell a Chicago Bear fan -who has lived in So Cal for several years-that he couldn't buy a ticket to see a Ram/Bear game. I tell friends I was born and raised in So Cal and they look at me like I'm some kind of weirdo (no comments please). And prospect

I've hunted with her birds of prey in the fields above UCI-until they began to build apts for the students and faculty there. It really is amazing how high in the sky these birds can see small rodents, rabbits, etc. When they do they circle, circle, circle and then come straight down faster than you can imagine. Then there's an explosion of dust and off they go for more food. When she wants to go

Re: "Cursive" - 7 weeks ago

If I showed you some of my old prescriptions you could say they most assuredly can't write. But alas, they have young PAs that can forward the prescriptions digitally to the pharmacy before I even leave the Dr's office. I can then pick it up before I get home. You see, this progressive stuff ain't so bad after all.

"Cursive, also known as script or longhand, is a style of handwriting where letters are joined together without lifting the pen. " The obligation of schools today is to prepare students to navigate in today's world not to learn as if they were back in the 50s. Handwriting is a lost "art" but understandable given that we communicate today mostly by digital means-socially, bu
