OK - Back in Germany again. Showing off the new crop of kids to the in-laws. Spring is late this year in the whole northern hemisphere it seems, but I'm ok with it because SoCal changes your idea of seasons. Good friends, good food, good drinks, and raising the next generation: it's all so humbling. We often feel responsible for the bad things in our...

Oi! Halloween already!?! Where does the time go. Had a great summer and a kick ass trip to Germany. Got to see 3 St. Pauli matches!! I'm so spoiled. Too many friends having relationship troubles. Two of my favorite people in the whole world and they're separating after 11 years. It really hurts to see things like that. I wish I could show them their...

Don't you love it when your summer keeps filling up with fun stuff? It's kinda like being in line for a roller-coaster. You know the fun's coming, you just have to shuffle along until it's your turn. Now that my boys almost 1, we've got first birthday parties to go to every weekend for all his friends, but that's always more fun for the parents!...

Stuck in a condor in the freezing rain and wind. But hey, at least i'm on the beach right. At least I've got all the SGs to keep me warm. It's a bit like sailing sometimes, but there's no warm cozy cabin to snuggle into here, just some plastic sheeting and a blanket. Damn I love my job. I can see into the house across...

is it winter already? Well at least the days will be getting longer. The holidays were great; stayed in town and everyone came to see me for a change, a new baby helps of course. Almost 8 months old now and going strong. Still the good life, but I'm back to work soon so he'll only get me on weekends mostly. It's tough when they're...

Oh it's been too long! The birth went perfectly and he's 2 months old now! Sure life is a little different, but different isn't bad. He's a great kid and he's got everything in the world he needs. It's been a great summer so far and I just gotta say life is good. No worries. Sleep? Who needs sleep anyway?

Sitting in the kitchen of my great new apartment, the sun's just starting to light the sky and I'm finally updating my SG! My wife's due in about a week now so I hope the delay is understandable. It's been a pretty good spring here in LA and it just seems to get better and better. Now that the new apartment is pretty well squared...

No longer living on a boat, but I want to sail more than ever now. Working too much and weekends filled with building furniture, yum! The seasons roll on. Gotta go buy a lamp now and build some bookcases. Maybe I'll go surfing later. Love that LA weather!

I know a lot of places in the world get really cold and to the people that live there, you have my sympathy. But my home's in So Cal so i got no business freezing my ass off in Hamburg, Germany. Alas, here I am. And it's FREEZING! Yeah, i know, you can't enjoy the summer if you don't suffer the winter. 2 more weeks,...
