This blog has been sorely neglected for a long time. It isn’t unusual to find an orphaned blog…the novelty of the blog wears off, Facebook updates take the place of blog entries, and blog writers get plain lazy. I can also blame “The Summer of No Regrets” for my blog absence. Now that it is [...]

Springtime in SD
Posted in San Diego, family, laurel, oscar on Apr 16th, 2009
Grandma Toki is playing with the kids right now, so I thought I’d steal away to my computer to share some recent photos. We just got back from a nice stroll through the Japanese garden in Balboa Park. It was a first time for each of us to visit the garden and we picked a [...]
We were setting ‘em up and knocking them down last night during the kids’ first trip to the bowling alley. Oscar had the second highest score with the aid of gutter bumpers. Yeah, he beat me, but I shared my frames with Laurel. For those of you around San Diego, we recommend that you check [...]
Really Nice Weekend

Apparently it was the largest full moon of the year. We had the good fortune of seeing it peaking up and rising over the eastern mountains last night and setting through the palms to our west this morning. Adding to the magic of it all [...]

Another Balboa Park Treasure
Posted in San Diego, family, stuff we like on Jun 27th, 2008
We are trying to spend our Friday afternoons doing fun stuff for the kids this summer. Last week we went to the beach and today we went to Balboa Park for the zoo and for a ride on the Miniature Railroad Train. It is a simple and sweet ride around some landscaped grounds of the [...]
Here’s a look at my happy little morning routine. Brian goes to his Kosinski shed…I mean office…everyday at 5 am (Note from Brian: I’m not sure Ted Kaczynski would approve of my shed seeing as how he was calling for a “revolution against technology” – it might be more accurate to refer to it as the [...]
Oscar took his Uncle Matthew and Aunt Turtle to the San Diego County Fair on Sunday. This was their second annual fair trip. Matt & Turtle are really the best for doing this. I’m so glad that Oscar gets to go to the fair and even happier that I didn’t have to go.
After his [...]
We all played hooky from work/school/swim class today and went to Legoland. Between the free ticket offered by our local cable provider and a coupon we picked up at Dairy Queen we managed to get the whole family in for the price of a single adult ticket. We’ve managed to score similar deals [...]
Overheard in Rubios
Posted in San Diego on May 8th, 2008

The two guys then left the store. Their loss…
