My Mandalorian helmet just showed up the other day. I ordered it last December and nearly forgot about it! My stuff is always cooler than I am.

The light on the helmet works and everything! 😊

Apparently, one of families on the other side of town are Jurassic Park fans. I saw their house when driving by. It is always like this, and not for

It has been a low key time lately. My days have mostly been consumed with my primary passions of baseball and films. I have been writing a baseball blog for a website and also started a baseball podcast. I really appreciate having a good partner on the show. My weeks become a blur once Wednesday hits. Monday and Tuesday are the two quieter days of...

As I was nominated by @chroi I will give this a shot. 😊

1.Any travel, vacation or Holiday plans for summer.

I have been around the house for the most part this summer. I started a new baseball blog and podcast venture, so that keeps me fairly local because of the writing and recording.

2.Any summer traditions you or your family have.

The only one...

It has been a quiet summer for me. This is partially by design and partially due to circumstance. There have been plenty of nights at the movies, but not too much else going on. I stopped by an old school video arcade at some point.

Of course, there have been shoes as well. I bought another pair of Jordan 1's. I liked the peach/black color

Last night I took the nephew to the fights. He told me he is getting into boxing. It was a fun hang with the kid.

Colbert is from New York, so nothing interesting there, but Nyambayar is from Mongolia. They call him King Tug. The fans were there to see him. Colbert won pretty easily. My nephew had fun, so it was a good night.

This past weekend featured a trip to Las Vegas. Given I am not a drinker or a gambler, most of appeal of the city is lost on me. It was interesting to the stark contrast between how it was last year when no one was there compared to now, when everything is back open. Friday night after the drive up pretty quiet. Although the sky...

So today was a bit full. First off, I got out on my morning walk before it got hot. I am starting to get this whole walking off the weight idea down.

Along my walk, I saw some folks who decided they wanted to break out a hot air balloon. But given the attention they were getting, I think the police came around and shut

As the baseball season has gotten to the core part of the year. This week meant few nights watching games.

I watched the Los Angeles Dodgers play against the St. Louis Cardinals.

This weekend means being in San Diego to watch my New York Mets play the San Diego Padres. Tonight should be fun, the Mets have the best pitcher in baseball, Jacob deGrom, pitching

I have been on my own time since Wednesday as there has not been any days at trial due to a lack of witnesses. I have spent the time exercising quite a bit. On one of my walks I came across this sign about a horse trail being private. I don't know if this is common or just for the uppity people where I live....

Today was a break in the trial I am on a jury for, so I took the day off from work because I am to hit the limit for how much vacation time I am allowed to have. I have just shy of 8 weeks worth of paid time off on the books. I go to work every day largely because I have nothing else...

Last night featured a quick stop at a party to celebrate the posters from Lucha Vavoom, the masked Mexican wrestling/burlesque show I go to. I can't wait for their next event once the crowds are allowed back again.

This past Saturday featured a last minute trip to watch some boxing. It was a chance to take my nephew along, since he had never gone before. Our day was a stop at the movie theater to watch the Jason Statham movie, Wrath of Man, next was down to the fights.

I ran into super middleweight contender, David Benavides, along the way. He was really
