I was rather busy since last Wednesday... the week went by so fast (but that's a topic for another blog).

It's Woman Crush Wednesday, though I'm a bit late on this as it's after midnight in Las Vegas as I write this. My workout at the gym went long because the gym was busier than expected. When I got home I had to make something...

I recently started going to the gym, working with a personal trainer (topic for another blog). What that means is not only am I working out, but I also need to improve my diet and nutrition. And that means cooking a lot more at home rather than getting take out (even if it is on the healthy side). I don't cook on the stove very...

Sounds like we are trying to do the same thing. I have been cooking more at the house and exercising too. Food  looks good and good for you.

And if it is Hump Day, it is Woman Crush Wednesday! And that means it's time for my pair of WCWs. Yes, you read that right... two WCWs. If you read my WCW blogs, then you know I can almost never pick just one. There are just so many beautiful, interesting ladies to choose from. It's just too fucking hard to choose just one.

This...

This week's blog homework topic is "What would you do for a day if money was not an object?"

Well, @missy and @rambo, I'm going to assume that we can also keep anything that we might buy during that one day. Not that I'm going to go on an all day shopping spree, but there is some stuff that I have been waiting quite a...

Music is and has been a big part of my life since I was a wee lad. So I apologize up front. This is going to be one long blog. But there's some amazing music in it.

My mom and maternal grandmother played the organ, and each of them had one in their houses. My mom still has my grandmother's, but she can't play as...

And we all know that means it's also WCW. I'm late in getting this started, and didn't quite make it on Wednesday, Pacific Daylight Time, but I did start it on Wednesday Unfortunately, since it's so late, it'll probably get missed. 😞☹️

It's always a tough choice for me to choose WCWs as there are so many ladies I absolutely adore on Suicide Girls, and...

By now, hopefully, you've read my blogs about my 5-day road trip home (Las Vegas, NV) from Mississippi, where I was helping out my mom and dad during and after my dad's surgery. And looked at all the photos I took. If you haven't yet, I'd appreciate it if you would, give them some ❤️ And maybe even a comment.

But I wish I could...

I don't have many photos of Hot Springs National Park as I didn't stay there very long and only hit a couple of spots: Gulpha Gorge and West Mountain.

Beautiful :)

Thank you. I wish I had more time to spend there. I'm sure there was much more interesting stuff to see that what I saw.

The Grand Canyon is spectacular. I was fortunate as it was exceptionally clear the day I was there (04 July 2016). It was crowded, but the crowds didn't seem too bad, except in some of the shops. Photos were enhanced slightly for clarity, vibrance and to bring out the different shades of reds, yellows, oranges and browns and to boost the blue of the sky.

On the third day of my trip home from Mississippi, I made a few planned stops in North Texas. First was the Britten Leaning Water Tower. It was intentionally build leaning to attract tourists. But there isn't anything else around so it seems it's just one of those odd things you can see on road trips in America. The second stop was the Largest Cross in the Western Hemisphere (supposedly). There are also other things to see there, small statue displays of the 12 stations on the Via Dolorosa, which is the route Jesus took on his way to his crucifixion. There is also a fellowship center and a statuary display of Jesus' crucifixion. Last planned stop was Cadillac Ranch, where 10 vintage (1940s to 1960s) Cadillacs were half buried, nose down, as an art exhibit designed to showcase the tail fins of the Cadillacs. And to shock the Texas billionaire's neighbors. Today, it's taken on a cult like status. People come to spray paint their impermanent art. If you go and paint your art, take a photo quickly after you finish as it won't be there for long.
