The BBP Blog

July 1st - July’s here

July 1, 2025
Greetings foolish mortals and welcome to July. 

Well last month was a busy and crazy one for the BBP. Finally got into our house and have now been working on trying to get things in place. However, that is a slow process and I’m in no rush as there’s no lease or anything that has me set against time. Enjoying the moment. 

We are now full blown into summer and hurricane season. Not enjoying these hot days but looking forward to the evolution of the theme parks transforming into Halloween events. Would love to visit SoCal this season to see the very best in Knott’s Scary Farms but we shall see if that happens. 

Hope everyone has a great start to July and if I don’t see you later…Happy 4th of July. Remember to do your patriotic duty and blow shit up. See how many people lose some appendages. 

Until next time…

BBP out!!!

June 23rd - Happy birthday

June 23, 2025
Greetings foolish mortals.  Today is a special day though a bit sad too.  Today is mom's birthday and it's the third one she's been away.  I know my dad misses her tremendously and I know all of us in the family do too.  

Happy birthday mom.  You are loved and missed.

June 22nd - Home!!!

June 22, 2025
Greetings, foolish mortals!!!  Today the BBP Is officially in his home. We closed Friday morning after numerous weeks of issues that kept popping up by the lender or someone who is just determined to stop us from buying this house. It was stressful, frustrating, aggravating, and so much more but luckily we saw it through And now have a home. Finished closing out the apartment today and unfortunately the office is closed on Sunday so I’m going to have to take my keys tomorrow after work. Tod...

June 2nd - Welcome to hurricane season

June 2, 2025
Welcome foolish mortals to another hurricane season.  They've reported this is going to be more active than last year so we shall see as we got hit twice in a matter of weeks.  

Not really in the best of moods as my house buying has hit a last minute snag and really irritated me.  I'm dealing with that uncertainty and it's gotten me pretty pissed.

On top of the house stuff, I once again, got denied by the VA.  I swear, what do I have to do to get them to listen?  I'm so sick of all this and jus...

May 2nd - A house

May 3, 2025
Greetings foolish mortals.  Exciting news!!!

The BBP has bought a house!!!  Looked at a house yesterday, really liked it and submitted an offer.  It was an aggressive offer and showed the sellers I was serious.  Got a call from my realtor around 9:30 and he said I probably wouldn't mind him calling late for what he had to tell me.  My offer was accepted!!!  Wired the escrow over today and will begin the process with inspection and all that fun stuff.  Can't wait to be finally done with renting...

Welcome foolish mortals and welcome to May. Cant believe the year is almost half over and we’re closer to the haunt season. 

This is a busy time for the BBP. Work is ramping up and I’m getting more involved with everything. Also we are in the process of buying a house. Yay!!!  Have put an offer down today and will maybe hear something by tonight. Very excited about this prospect. Had another last week but the sellers were just playing games. Made a really strong offer and they wanted to pl...

April 3rd - Loss

April 3, 2025
Sometimes something hits you harder than you expect and causes all sorts of emotions, thoughts and feelings. That something happened on April 1st, 2025, when we lost Val Kilmer. I’ve always liked Val in all his films and can appreciate his willingness to dive into his role. One of the movies of his that greatly affected me was his portrayal of Jom Morrison in The Doors. It is what really got me more into their music and inspired me to learn all I could about him and although I feel the movi...

April 1st - April fools

April 2, 2025
Greetings foolish mortals And happy April Fools’ Day. we are now in the second quarter of 2025 and it’s just going faster and faster it seems.

April fools should be canceled because no amount of jokes or pranks could match the debacle that we have going on in this country right now. It’s embarrassing and very Disheartening I just wonder if we can survive the next almost 4 years.

Baseball season is here and unfortunately my Braves are not doing very well. In fact, they to win a game. Theyâ...

March 17th - Happy St. Patrick's Day

March 18, 2025
Greetings foolish mortals and happy St. Patrick's Day!!!  14 years ago, I was in Dublin, Ireland, have an amazing time.  So much fun was had and so little sleep too.  There was too much to do to sleep.  The city is amazing and beautiful and so much fun and welcoming.  I highly suggest a trip there if you can.



Until next time...

BBP out!!!

March 1st - Hello March

March 2, 2025
Greetings foolish mortals and welcome to March.  Can't believe how fast this year is going but we're almost a quarter of the way through it.

I know I haven't updated much, again, but it's been a pretty busy and hectic time in the life of The BBP.  So as I'm sure you've all seen the debacle that is causing mass chaos through the country and government, it has affected The BBP as well.  Not easy to focus on many things when you're stressed and worried about your job and whether or not you'll hav...
