For Sale: Taylor 310ce Acoustic Guitar

January 7, 2012

Hate to do it but I’m parting with my very first Taylor Acoustic Guitar – a 2002 310ce series. I bought her new from Guitar Center and she has been played mostly for pleasure and in church settings. There are a few dings in the body but everything else is in great condition – no [...]

Cruising Up The Pacific Coast Highway

September 7, 2011

Irma and I experienced something we have been wanting to do for some time – drive along the Pacific Coast Highway in California. Known as the “1″ or “PCH” for short, this highway runs mostly along California’s coastal line and offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, sometimes at near sea levels while other times [...]

Anthem HOA: As Anal As They Come

Thumbnail image for Anthem HOA: As Anal As They Come July 5, 2011

For the most part, I love living in Anthem, Arizona, a master-planned community built mostly by Del Webb (Pulte), located just south of New River. However, I hate my anal HOA (Home Owners Association). In fact they have to be one of the most anal, annoying and idiotic HOAs on the planet. A recent violation [...]

What Is Social Media?

March 9, 2011

This post is more of an experiment than anything else. I was conducting keyword research for a client in relation to my search marketing business and I was very intrigued when the Google AdWords Keyword Tool showed a decent amount of searches for “what is social media” and yet scored it as low competition. So, I thought I’d quickly define social media here and see if I can get this post to rank. If it does so, especially being that this is my personal blog, then the Google Keyword Tool’s competition scoring will seem accurate to me.

Our Dog Jody: R.I.P.

September 16, 2010

It is with sadness that I announce that our dog, Jody, passed away yesterday. She was about 10 – 11 years old as we are not sure of her birth date, only her adoption date. Jody met her fate after getting into some rat poison which she mistook for something to chew on. The vet [...]

We (my wife mostly) watch our grand-babies, Andy – 2yrs. old and Jadyn – 1 yr. old, at least three times a week while their mother works. My daughter being a single a mom, we are glad to help out as the costs of daycare can be enormous.

That being said, we have literally transformed portions of our home to keep these precious little ones safe. I thought it would be interesting to provide a peek at what we actually have to do every time these little ones are with us.

Sold: Marshall AVT 275 2×12 Combo Guitar Amplifier

May 27, 2009

I recently purchased a Vox Custom Classic AC15CC1 Guitar Amp so the Marshall Guitar Amp I’ve been using for the last several years has to go. Because I’m running POD XT Live effects, I no longer need the four channels as well as all the effects that the Marshall amplifier offers. So she’s up for sale.

If you are looking for a 150 watt Marshall Combo amp, this is your chance to get one at about two-thirds of what you’d pay for it brand new.

Happy Resurrection Day!

April 12, 2009

Happy Easter or as I like to refer to it, “Resurrection Day.” Because Jesus Christ was crucified (died) and rose again from the dead (resurrected), I too was able to die to my old sinful nature and now live in Him! The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid ; for I know [...]

San Francisco / Bay Area in Two Days

February 16, 2009

Irma and myself have made it an annual event to visit San Francisco and the Bay Area annually in conjunction with Search Marketing Expo and Search Engine Strategies conferences that are held in the San Jose area.

Typically we take 3-4 days after the conference and head up the 101 to San Francisco as well as wine Napa and/or Sonoma Counties. Most recently, we decided to hit do the “vacation” portion of our trip first and limited it to just two days.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

December 25, 2008

Just wanted to take some quick time out here to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I’ll be spending mine at home with family although we are itching to get up to Flagstaff to see some snow.
