End of a Decade

It’s not just the end of the year, it’s the end of a decade.  Puts things in a different light if you think of it that way.  Do you feel worn out at the end of a year?  I sure do.  I think it has more to do with the frenetics of Christmas than the conclusion of a year.  December is busy in so many ways that it’s the most exhaust ing month of the... [Read more]

Flu This

The Hooks family just completed one week of barf-o-rama.  So far, I am the lucky one that seems to have eluded the illness but I do have an impending sense of doom that something bad is going to happen at any moment.  It all started eight days ago when we got the call from school that Jacqueline was vomiting and needed to be picked up.  Karen leaves work early and... [Read more]

Senorita, Don’t Be Afraid!

This past weekend I went down to Rosarito.  For those of you who don’t know, Rosarito is a small beach town about thirty minutes south of the U.S./Mexico border.  Rosarito is a cheap weekend getaway for southern Californians.  For many years, I would usually go down twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.  It was the ultimate weekend warrior roadtrip. ... [Read more]

Fundraising From Hell

I want you to think back to when you were a kid.  Do you remember “No Soliciting” signs on the front doors of businesses and houses?  It was a different time before email and websites and eight hundred television stations.  There were actually door to door salesman that would walk around trying to sell you stuff because it was one of the ways available... [Read more]

It’s Tough To Be A Fan

During my formative years,  we lived in Dallas, Texas from when I was four years old to about eight years old.  At some point during this time, I developed an interest in the NFL.  I was a big Cowboys fan during the days of Roger Staubach, Drew Pearson, Tony Dorsett, “Too Tall” Jones, Hollywood Henderson and others.  The Cowboys were a great team to root... [Read more]

Home Sweet Home

Being a business owner has a lot of challenges that employees don’t have, but one of the perks is being able to make key life choices without a boss or management looking over your shoulder all of the time.  One of my life choices has been not to travel being a father and a husband.  I know many men that have had to travel for business and it takes its toll over... [Read more]

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

It’s been awhile.  How’s everyone doing?  I haven’t written a blog in three weeks.  It seems that the summer season has gotten the best of me, but with Labor Day being the official end of summer I am ready to put out some blogs.  I did the usual things that I always do during the summer.  We did some beach trips.  We did some surfing and camping. ... [Read more]

Hey Teacher! Leave Them Kids Alone!

Things used to be so simple back in the day.  You either took a regular class or you took an honors class.  The highest your gpa could be was 4.0.  The SAT was a maximum of 1600 points.  Sports had a season and they weren’t played year round.  You got Thanksgiving and the day after off.  You got two weeks at Christmas and one week at Easter.  Pardon me, I’m... [Read more]

Is Summer Over Yet?

Everyone has their favorite season.  Some people love winter because of the snow and the cool crisp air.  Some people love the spring when all the flowers come out and the trees and grasses turn green again.  Some people love the autumn leaves falling to the ground.  I happen to love summer.  I love the hot days.  I love the long days.  I love the warm evenings. ... [Read more]

Stuff in the Garage

Hi Everyone!  I’m beach camping and I’d like to introduce guest blogger, Jerry Huber.  Enjoy. 2 or 3 times a year, I make an obligatory, yet totally futile attempt to clean out my garage.  I always start out determined to get the place organized but the job seems to overwhelm me and I just end up moving stuff from one place to another.  It’s not that... [Read more]
