Happy fifth birthday Alex!
Today is your day! Enjoy it and remember you’re king for a day but don’t let it go to your head little guy. Alex is the son of my Dallas-based friend Ami and the late Ben Rasberry. He’s a cool … Continue reading
Belated birthday fun for Liliana
Another fun time at Pinballz but it’s even better when I get to celebrate with the little people. I have to get another generation into arcade games or else I’ll have no place to hang out should I live long … Continue reading
Gamers’ Weekend 2016
Update: A story that was overlooked due to my illness (the flu and whatnot) near the beginning of 2016. A rather nice tradition started by the old gaming group I used to belong to and this year I finally took the … Continue reading
Welcome Penelope!
Yesterday the Derrs delivered on child number two, a little girl. Penelope does resemble Jeremy around the mid-face areas. This works pretty well, Robin will have a friend to drink tea with, not just dolls!
Welcome Robin
What great timing! Robin shares a birthday with my great friend Sonia. What a trend setter Sonia is! Robin is the first child and daughter of our friends Matthew and Elizabeth. You may know them as the lawyers I play … Continue reading
Happy birthday Sonia, my “little sister”
Today is a fortuitous birthday for me, our friend’s baby daughter Robin shares this historical date with the friend above. As I told Sonia through FaceBook, she should be proud, the little baby has good taste! Meanwhile I’m waiting to see … Continue reading
Happy birthday Ben(Derr)!
Has it been two years? Ugh! Well, in order for this little guy to get older, I must do the same. He just gets cuter with the ladies. Glad to see how Ben is progressing. At dinner the other night, … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Evie! (late!)
Once again I’m late for not-so-little Evie. See, I always remember the Martinez Anniversary first, then realize I have forgotten her birthday despite her birth being the night before Nancy and José got married. Man this kid is growing up … Continue reading
Kathy the Unicorn!
One goal achieved in Las Vegas was finding a unicorn hat for my co-worker and friend Kathy! I think it’s a mandatory accessory for being a DJ, her other passion. I found it walking through Excalibur (where else?) while on … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Scott II
Apple, Inc. and Austin lost a great resident last week. Scott definitely belonged and contributed to the quality of life we have. If you want read the more elaborate tribute I wrote about him, contact me (you know how) since … Continue reading

Happy belated birthday to Matt
Forgetting that Friday is the party to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules, not his birthday, I failed to write about it yesterday. Plus I’ve been distracted over some other news that’s still fuzzy. My friend Matt is pretty cool and our … Continue reading
Happy fourth birthday to Alex
Here’s to him having a magical day and may he be in good health. Alex is getting to the age when he can really enjoy Legos and Playmobil because children this old know they’re not supposed to these things in … Continue reading
Tiki pondering their return
The cat with some serious lungs is hanging out where nobody can easily pet him, staring into space, maybe hoping to catch his humans’ plane on its approach. Nah. Probably watching all those birds, lizards and squirrels who taunt him … Continue reading
Angel trying to live up to his name’s rep
Normally this giant furball (he’s often pretty sweet except during baths and medication) prefers to sleep on the grand digital piano. Recently I spotted him by my friend’s classical (or is it concert-hall) harp. I like how he mews for … Continue reading
