After taking the ferry ride to Perth, and getting there late, we had no time to waste climbing aboard our next tour, the Adventure Tour around Rottnest Island. Basically this was the excitement I had been waiting for all week! Our first view of Rottnest Island while still on the Ferry. This was to be the next vessel to go around the island. They don't tell you a few things when you purchase your ticket; like children three and under ... Read More

This is priceless. Funny. Yet, too true. We’re going to be gifted with a healthcare plan we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, which puportedly covers at least 10 million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding ... Read More

I finally was able to put up all the photos of Embers for Ashes, (well not all as I took 700), but rather 40 photos of their last gig at Ram's Head Live, Miquel's last official gig with the band as lead VOX. You can see the photos HERE (2 pages of photos, only the first 40 are from their last gig) You can also see a video excerpt below. :)     ... Read More

38 KM from Barcelona, appears from flat plains, what seems to be a freak of nature, the mountain range of Montserrat, 1,236 meters above sea level. It's beauty is rare, and every day it shows you something new. Montserrat is also home to one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations in Spain: the Shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat. Since the 12th century, pilgrims have been drawn to the mountain to venerate the miraculous statue of the Black ... Read More

For weeks and months I tried to establish a bedtime for Miquel. He wouldn't have it. He busted out of his crib (literally), he tried everything he could. He wouldn't even THINK of sleeping until he got to watch the late night talk show starring Arsenio Hall. Finally I had to give up and let him watch the show with me. Even though I would have loved to have some peace and quiet time, often, it became "our time" together. We'd ... Read More

I grew up from ages 0-7 in East Baltimore on North Milton Avenue. We had the best neighbors, the Sovines and the Metzgers. We enjoyed a lot of memorable times together. Some were filmed, and I have a few clips, not in any kind of order, of our times living in the city. Things to watch for: Cliffy as a baby, my legs going crazy while I played piano... and keep in mind there wasn't sound in home movies back then. Also, for ... Read More

Why would Obama lie and say his father served in WWII? Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (Obama’s father) Born 4/4/36 Died 11/24/82 at the age of 46 He was 3 years old when WW 2 started, and 9 years old when it ended. Lolo Soetoro (Obama’s step father) Born 1935 Died 3/2/87 at the age of 52 He was 4 years old when WW 2 started, and 10 years old when it ended. The media said nothing because nobody seemed to care ... Read More

Miquel has been the 'star' of the latest posts putting excerpts of our home videos on the web, but I thought to share the three I know of him that were food related, kind of together. So here is another Miquel moment, eating ice cream, or what he calls "eye cam". (He was close!) Seen here also are my mom and dad. Miquel had to be forceful early on, as mom is hard to tell NO regarding food, and she was insisting ... Read More

So a few days ago, I blogged an old home movie about a young Miquel and his love affair with food. The video showed his struggles as he tried to eat a bowl of potatoes. The video that follows, he is about the same age and we are at a friend's house, who before the main meal, put an assortment of snacks on their living room coffee table. While I am taping, I am already chuckling because I could see what is ... Read More

Taking another trip down memory lane.... Well, still looking at home movies. Only this time it was my sister's home movies! This came to be because one year for Christmas, I did a lot of homemade gifts. I found my sister's old home movies, you know, the kind that requires a projector and a screen to view? I took my video camera, recorded her movies that was being projected on the wall, set it to music, and gave her this for her present. She ... Read More

I've added a new category to the blog, "Memories," as I am in the process of trying to preserve home movies of our family. Today's memory is of Miquel eating a bowl of potatoes. Every since I can remember, Miquel has had a love affair with food. From the day he was born, I swear he would watch us chew and swallow and smack his lips, aching for a taste. Here, I think I might have boiled some potatoes for him. I often ... Read More

A sound file was sent to me today and I quickly went to look it up on YouTube. Well I am speechless after hearing Jo from Florida. I know nothing about the show's host, and I don't like the way he talked to the woman, but I can understand his frustration. The subject matter was illegal immigration, and from what I can gather, he takes calls of all views, and this lady had the opposite view from the previous caller. She called to ... Read More

"By far the most dangerous foe we have to fight is apathy - indifference from whatever cause, not from a lack of knowledge, but from carelessness, from absorption in other pursuits, from a contempt bred of self satisfaction. " -Sir William Osler (1849 –1919) - Canadian physician. What a great quote. I do believe that is one of our biggest problems in the world today, indifference. I might disagree though, with the lack of knowledge.  These days, even though the ... Read More

If you have been paying attention at all, you know that basically a couple of amateurs went undercover and exposed a lot of dirt on ACORN, to the point that the House has voted to defund the organization. Nevermind that it is already well known that ACORN engaged in conspiracy to get Democrats elected by any means necessary, using registration drives partially funded by taxpayers and the Obama campaign to enroll nonexistent and ineligible voters. Its members have been indicted ... Read More

Miquel is back from Northland for Spring Break! Even though he desired to get back to our home church at Anchor, we attended services at Calvary to see Anna play the offertory music. Anchor is used to me with my camera, I don't know what Calvary thought, but I taped her anyway. :) It was interesting to re-visit Calvary after so many years, Enric used to attend school there.   See the video of Anna at the piano HERE    ... Read More

  In my net travels today, I found myself on in2thefrays blog and I saw an interesting speech by Newt Gingrich.... "We are today engaged in a phoney war since 9-11. We don't tell ourselves the truth, We don't organize for victory, We don't hold our enemies accountable, We don't insist our allies pay attention, We don't reorganize our bureaucracy so they're effective, We are in real trouble. I can''t say this too strongly, I worry everyday. When 6 out of 8 terrorist in Great Britain are medical doctors, the danger of biological attack ... Read More
