Put on your chainmail and roll your dice...
A little retro D&D for all my nerdy friends out there...
These books really take me back to my childhood. I recall drawing the covers and characters of these books during and after school. Monster Manual was our favorite because the first edition was famous for the sultry portrayals of its female monsters, such as the succubus and Type V demons. As a prepubescent boy, this was fantastic!

GI JOE
When I found out they were filming a live-action movie based upon my favorite toy, needless to say I was skeptical. This picture of Snake-Eyes, however, my have me turning the corner on this. This costume is way cool, and it looks like the director is shepherding a visually accurate interpretation of the franchise. Look for the release of GI Joe in August of 09'
Yo Joe!

Happy 13th Birthday Tay!!!
It's hard to believe that our "baby" is already 13 years old. The time has gone by so quickly, and we have so many special memories of you growing up and becoming such a wonderful young lady.
Taylah, you have exceeded all of our expectations, and have bestowed on us a overwhelming sense of pride, as your parents.
Keep being the person you are, and don't change a single thing. We expect big things from you in the future and we will be there with you every step of the way...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOO-BAH!!

Snow Play at Big Bear Mountain
We've been enjoying the recent snow to hit Socal. Two consecutive trips to the local mountains have been fun for the kids who rarely get to experience such a thing. The photo above is all of us in front of a frozen Lake Big Bear. Click on the picture above to watch a video of us inner tubing down a hill...

What's with this weather? One day I'm cruising around the house in b-ball shorts, the next night I'm making dinner in my snow jacket. I don't get it, typically in SoCal it's very temperate. You can feel ok about leaving the house in whatever you were wearing, none of this "layering" nonsense. Oh well, at least my lawn is getting watered and my car is getting washed...

And now, the good news...
The Los Angeles Lakers bolstered their banged-up frontline Friday with a key acquisition -- 7-footer Pau Gasol!
The Lakers gave up Kwame Brown, rookie Javaris Crittenton and two first-round draft picks for Gasol. The Spaniard is certain to help a Lakers team reeling from recent injuries to inside players, including blossoming center Andrew Bynum (see Post below).
As a frustrated Laker fan the past couple of years, this trade is just what the doctor ordered! I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

Bynum down, but not out
After MRI tests and an examination by team doctor Steve Lombardo of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Group earlier today, it has been determined that Lakers center Andrew Bynum suffered a subluxation of the patella and a bone bruise of his left knee in last night’s game. Bynum is expected to be out a minimum of eight weeks. Bynum is expected to make a full recovery.
This is obviously a huge blow to my squad, but it just means that my main man, Ronnie Turiaf, is gonna have to step up and help lead this team because we sure as hell can't rely on Kwame. Ronnie is probably my favorite Laker, so its gonna be fun watching him get more PT.
Get well soon, Drew...

Carl Karcher 1917-2008
A running joke around my house, is how I would prefer a Western Bacon Cheeseburger over a home-cooked meal. In many cases, that is true. I'm not a big fan of fast food, but Carls Jr. is the exception. The founder of Carl's Jr. just passed away at age 90, and I would like to honor him. This story is a little personal in that my Dad actually knew Mr. Karcher. He used to frequent my Dad's store and order suits from him when he had his shop in Anaheim. He was a very down-to-earth man, who despite his personal success, always seemed to make time for his customers. He can be credited with the creation of what I believe to be the best tasting charbroiled hamburgers in the game.
In my opinion, the Carl's Jr. menu puts the competition to shame.
