A Road Trip to Los Angeles County and Back
Yesterday was the 50th Anniversary Reunion of the church I used to be part of over 40 years ago as a member, and have always been part of in spirit since then. I hate trips to Southern California because they are tiring and the traffic is usually hectic. W

It Is Almost Vacation Time!
Hey there, everyone! It is almost vacation time! Aaah, time started flying right by! :) Sooo, there has been a slight change in plans, and I will be leaving on Friday instead of tomorrow, but it's all good because I'll actually have a ride up there rather

I'm Leaving For Vacation In One Week
Wowwww, can you believe that I am leaving for my vacation in one week?! I'm so excited to see my friends and do some WWE related stuff. :) I am heading to Philly on Thursday to stay at my friend's house. We're going to go to Walmart later that night so I

Lunch At The Tin Cow
One of the more interesting restaurants we dined at during our whirlwind tour of Pensacola was The Tin Cow. 2LT Son1 insisted we visit this unique eatery in downtown Pensacola both because of the way it serves its burgers and the way it makes its milkshake

Not A Pretty Picture
K and I are on our way back to eastern North Carolina after a whirlwind two day vacation in Pensacola. I drove the first leg of our trip from Pensacola to Jacksonville, Florida on I-10E, then around Jacksonville on I-295N, and picked up I-95N. We stopped f

T-6 Passing By
Fort Sumter is a place you have probably heard of. If you live in eastern North Carolina you may have heard of Fort Macon. Both of these forts were built in the early nineteenth century as part of America's coastal defenses and both figured in the Civil Wa

Let It Rain
I'm going to start near the end, or at least where we are now. K and I are back in our hotel room waiting out a rather awesome Gulf Coast style thunderstorm. Back home we get some pretty good thunderstorms but, to be honest, they are spring shower

My Father's Ship
This morning after a nice breakfast of pancakes, biscuits with sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and bacon, K and I went out to the Naval Aviation Museum onboard Pensacola Naval Air Station. 2LT Son1 had a professional development seminar to attend this

Ponce De Leon, We Are Here
Our actual crossing into Florida took us quite by surprise. The sign at the state line as we traveled down Alabama Highway 113 came and went in the blink of an eye. We were driving through what I think was the Alabama town of Fromarton, crossed a bridge ov

Is That Lynyrd Skynyrd I Hear
After uneventful crossing of Georgia and a stressful by-passing of Atlanta we finally reached the Alabama line, much to our combined relief. If the traffic on the I-285 Bypass around Atlanta was any indication I shudder to think what the traffic going thro

Georgia On My Mind And In My Rearview Mirror
We crossed the state line from South Carolina into Georgia just before lunch time today and made our first gas stop. There was a Wendy's next to the gas station so we grabbed lunch to go there and got back on the highway. It was at this point that I took o

Go South 100 Some Odd Miles And Take A Right
Just outside of Florence, South Carolina we reached the interchange between I-95 and I-20. I-20 West was the next leg of our route, and, I believe, the longest stretch. I-20 will carry us across most of South Carolina, and all the way across Georgia to Atl

We've Crossed The Border
If you have driven down I-95 and crossed the border between North Carolina and South Carolina then you probably remember seeing scores of billboards for a complex of restaurants, hotels, gas stations, and amusements known collectively as South of the Borde

Breakfast With A Minion
Rather than make a mess preparing breakfast at home, K and I stopped at a Mickie D's right at the junction of Highway 70 and Interstate 95 to get breakfast to go. She had the breakfast burritos and I had a chicken biscuit. We've been texting the p

Got An Early Start
My missus and I both woke up about an hour before our alarm went off this morning, smiled at each other, and decided to get up and get on the road. We packed the last few items into Blu, her pickup, said good-bye to the pups, and got on our way. K is takin

This Will Be My Only Post This Weekend…
Hey there, everyone. I usually try to post over the weekend, but this is going to be my only post for this weekend. I am going to be pretty busy and I’ll rarely be on any of the blogging sites, if at all, for the next few days.I am going on a family

Writing Prompt: Best Vacation
Hey there, everyone. I haven’t done a writing prompt in a while, so I think I wanna do one right now. It says “What’s the best vacation you’ve ever taken?”I would say my best vacation was Wrestlemania 29 Week in New Jersey/New

Pic of The Day: NYC in Jan. of 2015.
I think once in a while I am going to do this "Pic of The Day" thing. It's pretty simple; I post a photo and discuss the memory attached to it. I snapped this selfie of myself back in January of 2015, when I took a day trip to New York City with my friend

First Post Funk Random Thoughts
Been on-line for the past four hours already but haven't managed to write something so I'm just throwing together some random thoughts. Hope this gets me out of the rut... ========== My mouse is cursed!!! It closes tabs on its own. It doesn't highlight th

We Ordered Our WWE SummerSlam Tickets!
I am a few days late, and I did mention it in passing in a post and comment, but I wanted to make an actual post on this…BUT I AM OFFICIALLY GOING TO WWE SUMMERSLAM! :DI sent the money to one of my best friends, whom I am going to the event with, a

I Met Shawn Michaels For The Third Time!
What, did you guys think I wouldn't update about this lol? I met my favorite WWE Superstar -and celebrity in general- for the third time yesterday. My sister and brother-in-law drove an hour away from home, from MD to VA, so that I could meet him again. Be

Time to Fill Up the Car - Petrol Prices Going Up Again
After many months of petrol prices going down, so it was better to wait until the last minute, then only 1/4 fill your tank, it's now time to fill up the car as petrol prices are going up again. For months it never made sense to have your car sitting, wit

I'm Still Saving For WWE SummerSlam

Hello There, January!
Hey there, everyone! It's January...but we all knew that, right lol? January is going to be a good month to me, or at least it should be. :)My 30th birthday is coming up fast. I am hosting a small gathering with my family and friends at my cousins' on Satu

Heading To WWE SummerSlam in 2015
For the last six or seven years, WWE SummerSlam has been in LA. I was starting to think I would never be able to go. I'm not interested in spending even more money to take an eight hour flight across the United States, and some fans couldn't do that even i

Two weeks later...
I dropped my son off at a summer camp two weeks ago. Tomorrow we are heading back to the camp to pick him up. He had a really great time I am sure about it, but I am ready for him to come home. I miss him so much... Our life is upside down at th
