TWO BUCKS

In my lifetime, I think I may have picked up at least $2.00 in change.

This morning, on my way to the entrance to Lowe's, I passed by a man sitting on the curb asking for some spare change.

Without thinking, I took out my wallet and handed the man $2.00. I could have said, "Sorry, pal, I don't have any change," but I didn't. Something came over me.

Now, I could have used that money to by me a grande coffee at Starbucks or I could use it later in the day,

As I exited Lowe's, I saw the man walking to another location in the parking lot.

As I sit here typing, I don't know that he did with the money I gave him. I hope he bought food, but he may have purchase other items like cigarettes or alcohol.

Maybe the next time I see him, I will go to Carl's Jr. and purchase a breakfast combo and give it to him.

It was time to give back to a poor stranger a moment of my life what I picked up over the course of my lifetime.

A NEW REGIMEN

CONGRATULATIONS, CASEY AND ERIKA

The San Francisco State University's 114th commencement on May 22, 2015 included two people very dear to us.

One is family, and the other is "soon-to-be."

CONGRATULATIONS TO CASEY AND ERIKA! YOU FINALLY DID IT!

THE BLUES GOT BLUER...

So long, B.B. King.

HAPPY 05-10-15 DAY

Whatever.

A NEW ARSENAL...

I acquired a new arsenal for my "disposal" of the dogs taking their early morning walks leaving "do" in the grass...

A MONTH LATER...

Today marks the day we had Sasha and Drake for one month.

They have grown into remarkable puppies.

We have adjusted to their needs and have repaid us unconditionally.

Sasha has been really good to alert me when it is time for her to go.

Drake has really been great. He is no longer is skittish.

IT IS THAT TIME...

The Portal Store is OPEN!!!
