A LEADER IS OFT TIMES A READER
Soooo, as you know, I’ve been getting back in the reading saddle.
I have a big list (always) and little time.
BUT, I do have more time than the President of the United States and somehow he managed to run the most powerful country in the world (through 9/11 fallout, controversial war, a ‘recession’, immense criticism and [...]
POSTED BY MY POLICE OFFICER FRIEND
Sooo, in addition to paying your mortgage and other bills, being a nice person to the car that just cut you off as you’re coming home from a long day of fielding humanity, giving of your time and energy to help innocent people who are being oppressed, and engaging in life’s other ‘necessities’, you also have to be [...]
FRIENDS, LIFE, FREEDOM
Whoa…so, I can’t remember the last time I posted, but MUCH has come and gone since the last one, I’m sure.
As is my style, here are bullet point highlights
1) 3/29:Ushered a fantastic show called ‘SHIDARA’ a Taiko drum group. OUTSTANDING!
2) 3/30: Attended a show called ‘A Mass For Peace’ put on by the master chorale [...]
SOBRIETY FROM S.W.A.T.
I’m so busy today, but can not help but to watch the televised memorial service of slain office Randal Simmons of LAPD/SWAT.
For so many reasons I can’t stop crying or look away…
1) He was clearly an active Christian and therefore his memorial service of 10,000+ attendees is, from the moment it started, filled with Scripture [...]
WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS TO ANIMALS?
So, I was locking the front door of one of my listings. When I turned around, I noticed a cat half-way down the stairs, all fluffy headed and fluffy tailed, crouched down and hissing at me…as if my mere existence was a looming threat. I rolled my eyes, muttered some ’I hate cats’ stuff and continued to lock the [...]
171 HOURS LATER
The fires starting getting super crazy on Sunday. I was scheduled to go to SF on Wednesday. After the 4th fire broke out and it was on my side of town, I wondered if the freeways were going to be shut down and then I wouldn’t be able to get out at all. Soooo, I [...]

THE GAMET IN 9 DAYS
God’s grace is sufficient and His mercies are new every morning.
I will need to believe that, especially over the next 9 days:
THIS WEEKEND and be back by Sunday night
-Drive up to SF in about an hour and attend our family mass/party to honor my uncle George and my cousin Scott (I’m guessing there will be about [...]
MY UNCLE–JACK BAUER
This article about my uncle George ran yesterday in the Contra Costa Times. Most of it is new to me too. Once again, I am thankful to him, his wife, his kids…they sacrificed him for a year in order to do some serious business in Iraq. Please read the article below. Though I have many [...]
THE UNSUNG HEROES OF THE PAC
Well, as some of you know, last night Holly and I attended the PAC Usher Appreciation Potluck Banquet (PACUAPB). Priceless.
Imagine approximately 200 men, but mostly women over the age of 60, enjoying tables and tables of potluck foods, listening to speakers wax eloquent regarding the invaluable service of the volunteer ushers and how they have [...]
VALOR-A HUGE HONOR
So, my uncle George will be returning from Iraq in the next few weeks. If there’s a war, trust me, you want Commander George leading your team. Evidenced by the following…I heard through the family grapevine that upon his return, he will be awarded a Bronze Star Medal for valor… described by Wikepedia as…
The Bronze Star for [...]
A MINI TRIBUTE TO GEORGE FOR HIS SACRIFICE 4 U & ME
I love my uncle George, not just cuz he’s to be feared from a law enforcement perspective, but because he’s kind, caring, intelligent, passionate, strong, inspiring, sober-minded, a devoted husband who refers to his wife as his ‘bride’, an involved father of 2 active sons who has a soft spot for their differences, he’s got a [...]
GEORGE & AMERICA’S FREEDOM
Today is Independence Day. Today it means something more than ever before as my uncle George is currently in Iraq with thousands of other men & women…sacrificing themselves for me…and you…protecting the freedom that I have to write this and the freedom you have to read it.
George is in danger (though, he loves it!) and he’s doing [...]
