Since it has been raining here, I have been keeping my adventures to a bit of a minimum. I did make a stop by the location of the first McDonald's. It is in San Bernardino, California. The location has been turned into a kitchy museum full of random McDonald's memorabilia. I didn't know this place existed until a couple of weeks ago. It was free...

Loved the pics!
This past weekend actually brought snow to Southern California. This is pure silliness. No way we can say climate change isn't real after experiencing that.
On the other side, I did eventually make it down to Anaheim to watch the sectional finals for high school basketball. Unfortunately for me, my old high school lost both the boys' and girls' finals. Going 0-2 on the day

This week was a long one with work being a lot due to staff being out. It ended up where I was doing the work of four people. It was supposed to be only last Friday, but ended up being all week. I found my bearings after a couple of days and made it through. I was able to find a bit of joy with...

Fingers crossed for your high school! Wonderful photos btw!

@libris My school won both their boys and girls games, so they are moving along in the playoffs! 🙂 This must have been my of time of not havinv blurry pictures, because I am so bad at taking them. 😫😉
I can say loneliness takes many forms. The backside of the holiday season has meant lots of time in the movie theater and roughly $1000 spent on Nikes. Despite my efforts, days can go by without any real human connect, but at least Nike never turns me down.

After nearly two weeks out of my office, I went back in today. It was a largely rainy time away. There was still some adventures between the rain drops.
I ran into former professional basketball player Robert Horry when I went to watch high school basketball. We are all smiles before the trash talk about our teams (his team won the game). 😡
There was

That salad looks good! The Rose Bowl floats absolutely amaze me! I can't even fathom the talent someone would have to have to design and construct one of the floats. It looks like a fun start to the new year!

@libris The floats are done by volunteers. You should give it a shot if the opportunity ever arises. 🙂
The Christmas holiday is officially in my rear view mirror for 2022. Nothing too notable happened; that can be a good thing and a bad thing, I suppose. Last night, I did drive through a neighborhood that has a bunch of houses decorated Christmas lights. I am taking a week away from my office in order to not be a jerk to my staff. As

I went to the Comic Con in L.A. again this year. I mainly go to support an old friend of mine as he promotes his independent comic book. It is called Immortal Era. He told me he spoke to a talent scout from a movie studio and has a follow up call next week. I hope it goes well for him.
Seeing the people dressed

@lallupyon It was not a bad way to spend a day! 🙂

Oh my gosh! How fun
The Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone. I never know what I am to this time of year. Not having a significant other, kids, or close friends means way too much time to myself. I have seen every movie playing in the theater which has remotely caught my interest. Maybe next year it will be a better time.
Thanks to the winds lately, the pool

We’ll try to make it down your way next summer and hang out.
It was full Veteran's Day for me. I started out going to the cemetery to put some flowers on my father's headstone. The National Cemetery gets busy every year with festivities, so I had to beat the rush.
After the cemetery, I took my nephew to an early show to see Wakanda Forever. It was long, and I have mixed feelings about the movie. This

This first week of November has been full enough. On the first of the month I went to a book signing with Jemele Hill, the former ESPN anchor and current columnist with The Atlantic. She is most widely known for calling Trump a white supremacist and having him rant about it.
I spent almost each night this week at the movie theater. Notably, I watched

Seems like a ton of fun! Definitely things I’d prefer.
Last night I forced to make lemons into lemonade. The plan was to go to Lucha Vavoom with some people from work. They had their tickets and I had mine, so it seemed legit. One of them pulled out by saying she was sick, so she and her boyfriend didn't go. The other one pulled out once the first one did. That left me to

I have recently found immense fun out of doing things alone. Hopefully you’ll join that rebellion.

@kalistuh I am definitely a member of that rebellion. I do most stuff on my own, but this one irked me because it wasn't supposed to be that way. 🙂🤷
I spent some solo time at the beach over the weekend. Time to myself always leaves me in a pensive mood. I am forced to keep my own consel, but sometimes being there helps me find a sharper focus.
The morning walk along the sand was a rare one for me. Sitting and listening to the waves is usually more my thing. I am certain
