So we hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, ours was wonderful. Bella enjoyed her first thanksgiving with a few bottles o’ milk and a long nap. Of course she loves to sleep when we are around other people. You have to catch her at 5:30 am if you want to see her partying. It’s pretty fun to wake up early!
I feel like this year was the best Thanksgiving ever, my parents are moved back, we are home owners now and of course we’ve got beautiful Bella. I’ve been wanting to thank Phia for a while now because she really has been amazing through the pregnancy and as a mother. She’s taken care of Bella better then I could have ever wished for and she still manages to take great care of me too. She’s an amazing wife, mother and my best friend to boot. So as a small thank you for all the things she does for me and Bella, I gave her a pair of diamond earrings. Continue reading “Happy Thanksgiving!”
3.5 years later it was still one of the best days ever! Look at all those familiar faces! Check out the pic below…click on the image to view it larger!

I’ve been a long time fan of Pearl Jam’s since I was a kid. I’ve seen the band… boy I lose track, between 10-15 times, and I can say this show was one of the best I’ve ever seen. The Band was really feeling it and the crowd was giving back what they were putting out . Really phenomenal. Believe me I’ve been to a few shows where the crowd was less than enthusiastic and the band really suffers because of it. Continue reading “Pearl Jam @ The Gibson Amphitheater Oct 1, 09″
Some of you know that I am housing my father’s almighty Ford F-150 Lightning in my garage. Or as I like to refer to it, my inheritance. I actually feel that it’s really fair to call it co-ownership since what’s my dad’s is mine and .. how does the rest of that saying go? Well anyway it’s in my garage and I get to drive it so it feels like mine! If you don’t know, The Ford SVT Lightning is a sports/performance version of the F-150 Pickup truck designed by Fords tuner division (SVT). Continue reading “Lightning Strikes…”
For my birthday Phia got us annual passes to Sea World! She knows that I grew up going to Sea World and that I have a real attachment to going. It was wonderful of her to get me such a great gift and I look forward to watching Bella grow up with Shamu like I did. We went recently to get re acquainted with the park, Continue reading “Shamu Is Watching You!”
Somehow my father has the ability to buy or be gifted vehicles for far less money then the average man ever could. Some have theorized that his car acquiring ability is a genetic mutation, making him a low level member of the X-men team. While it’s not very useful for fighting crime, it’s still a pretty cool talent.
Recently my Father was gifted a mini RV made out of a 1980’s Ford Van. It’s a little dated but it’s still pretty damn awesome. As my mom describes it, it’s roughly the size and shape of an old skool ambulance, and with it’s extra tall roof it allows my over-six-foot father to stand upright while inside. There’s a over hang above the front seats that houses a small bed. Inside the main compartment everything is carpeted and or wood paneled which is pure class.

In case you’re wondering why I’m so hard core into Ford, I guess you’d have to thank my dad. You might say, he raised me right. He showed me a real appreciation for a rumbling V8 and in particular a love for Mustangs and Fords. Here’s a picture of me, circa 80-something, proudly displaying a taunting sign aimed at the Chevy guys. That was my dad’s 1964 1/2 Mustang with a build K code 289. It was a beautiful, fast and loud car and I loved it. Continue reading “Ford: Born and Raised”
So as it does every April, the Fabulous Fords Forever show returned this year to the Knotts Berry Farm parking lot and it was a hot show. Yeah the cars were hot, but that’s not what I mean. It was about 90 degree’s on the blacktop, and the heat was unrelenting. We troopered through, but it was tough. The show is only a few hours long and sadly right during mid day so we either had to stay and suffer or bail out. Continue reading “2009 Fabulous Fords Forever Show: HOT!”
