Friday Night was the Battle for Burbank. Every year Burbank High School and John Burroughs High School, the two Burbank High Schools, face off on the football field. This year the winner of the game got to go on to league, which added a little more excitement. While neither Erin nor I have ties to [...]

I started a little painting project tonight because the cable was out. Pictured is a cabinet in the laundry area that I have been meaning to paint for a while. This is after the first coat of primer.

The French Press
I don’t think it’s any secret that I like coffee. Among my circle of friends I’m known to be one who over indulges upon occasion, causing long restless nights and shakey mornings. I wouldn’t call myself a coffee snob because it’s rare that I turn my nose at any particular coffee, be it [...]
Tree Trimming
Did you know that you aren't supposed to trim the trees in the parkway in front of your house?

Joys of Home Ownership: Electricity
We’re having a little electricity problem at the homestead. Currently there is no power going to the air conditioner, the lights in the spare bedroom, the lights in the bathroom or the lights in the office. I’m not sure how all of those are connected, as I thought they were on different circuits, [...]
Weekend Update
The theme of this weekend was “relax.” It’s pretty rare that Erin and I don’t have a billion things to accomplish in a given weekend, and this weekend was pretty relaxed, as far as weekends go. Here’s my quick recap.
Friday Night
Erin and I straightened up the house a little, had a quick bit to eat [...]
