Mar 17th - Happy St. Patrick's Day

March 17, 2021
Welcome foolish mortals and top of the morning to ya!!!  Happy St. Patrick's Day.  Hope you toast up a Guinness in light of this holiday.  

Seems forever, but 10 years ago, the BBP was in Dublin, Ireland celebrating.  Was quite possibly some of the most fun times and memories I've had in a long time.  The streets and pubs were all crowded with partiers and much Guinness was consumed in a span of 3 days.  It was a much needed and welcomed trip from Afghanistan.  

And here we are on a cold morning here in SoCal but it's beautiful weather and things are looking up.  Mood is good, health is getting better and life just seems to be going well.  (Knocking on wood due to the Bickford curse)

Hope everyone has a great day and rest of the week.

Until next time...

BBP out!!!
 

March 1st - Welcome to March

Greetings foolish mortals.  I know.  It's been 28 days since I last edited this or added anything.  It's hard at times to just break away and wrote down my thoughts or the on goings throughout the days, weeks and month.  I've been so busy dealing with other things that I just lose track of this site at times.  I'll get reminders occasionally and think, I need to update, but then get distracted by something else.

Not really a whole lot going on here except work and same old things.  I did manag...

Welcome foolish mortals, to February.  Another month has passed and yes I've slacked on my updates on here but it's just been really busy this year.  Have had a lot going on in my world.  Hoping it slows down some but doubt it.

Hope everyone is staying safe.  Crazy times out in the world.

Until the next time...

Dec 25th - Merry Christmas

December 26, 2020
Merry Christmas foolish mortals!!!  We've made it this far and the day is almost over.  Haven't been the most festive times this year as we've endured Covid.  I've only watched A Christmas Story maybe 1 time altogether.  

Hope everyone has had a good and safe day.

Until next time...

BBP out!!!

Dec 1st - Hello December

December 2, 2020
Welcome foolish mortals...to December.  I know I didn't update last month.  Was so busy with so many things that I never really got to do much else then work.

Hopefully everybody had a nice Thanksgiving and had a little break too last week.  I was able to rest and relax a little.

Not sure how I feel about the holidays this year.  It's nice that they're here and maybe give a little diversion from the rest of this chaos going on but we shall see.  

We've had beautiful weather here though it's been...

Nov 1st - Hello November

November 2, 2020
Welcome foolish mortals...to November.  Well, last night was Halloween and while I drove around and saw a few people out trick or treating, it was mostly a quiet, empty night.  I didn't do anything special as I would have normally would have been at Knott's Scary Farm.  I did decorate my office and had it looking pretty good.  Other than that, I really didn't recognize this year.

So here we are in another month and in a few days we will hopefully be electing a new president and get the ass clo...

Oct 15th - Midway

October 15, 2020
Greetings foolish mortals.  Here we are in the middle of the month and while I would normally be excited about tonight, it's Thursday and Knott's Scary Farm would be on my list of places to go, I'm not.  I've gotten used, I guess, to not doing anything this year.  It's been crazy and disappointing all at once.  We'll get through this but hoping it improves.

One thing I didn't do on here was mention my grandmother on her bday which was Oct 5th.  She would have been 105.  She passed just before ...

Oct 1st - Welcome

Welcome foolish mortals...to October.  A shout out to WDW and their 49th birthday.  Even though they're laying off a bunch of workers, hope the year gets better for them and they can rehire all those cast members back.

So not a whole lot is really going on.  We're in October, which is a great time...normally and Fall is here.  Had things been "normal", I would have been enjoying my second week attending Knott's Scary Farm but alas, we have nothing like that this year.  There's a few small thin...
