Endless Summer



London Bridge, Lake Havasu, AZ.



So the question really should be. Why should summer end? I mean the kids are off school (less traffic for me) and here in California we get the best weather to do stuff in. Plus California has so many good opportunities to do so many fun outdoor activities. There’s hiking and going to the beach and great restaurants, and so much more. If there is one place you want to spend summer it’s California. That being said, we are headed to Arizona this weekend for our last summer activity. We are headed to the lake for a nice weekend of fun, sun and water. You may be asking yourself, Art, you just talked about California and now you’re headed to Arizona? Yes, this river acts as a natural boarder between California and Arizona so technically I’ll be in Arizona but close enough. It’s just a hop skip and a jump into the car for a nice 3.5 hour drive to the 95 freeway on our way to Windsor Beach launch. The real cool thing though is Lila and I haven’t done something like this together and I can’t wait to see her on the inner tube slicing and dicing her way behind the boat(aka falling face first in the water). We’ll be sure to show her the world famous London Bridge (yes, it’s that one) and be sure to visit the fine folks at the sand bar. Here we will be mingling with other fine patrons and residents of Lake Havasu, while standing up in the middle of the lake. Plus the last time she was out on the water she was with people that are just duds and with the group we are going with its sure to be a complete 180 from that.  With the wedding being done it’s going to be great to just be able to relax on the water and really enjoy the time out there. So we shall see you guys when we get back!  We’ll be sharing some pictures and I do put a high emphasis on some. :o) Have a wonderful weekend.

Batter Up!

Southern California Edison Annual Men's Softball Tournament

Its that time of the year again. This Saturday August 20th 2011, Southern California Edison will sponsor its annual Men's softball tournament.  This tournament has been a part of my family for over 20 years and is still alive and kicking. Teams from all over Edison's service territory gather at Huntington Beach Sports complex in Surf City USA to swing, throw and catch their way through the field of 16 teams. There's really no way to predict what is gonna happen to what teams but there is always one thing for certain. It's a great day to take the family out to the park and there's plenty of fireworks on the diamonds. This is my 5th year playing in the tournament and the team my dad has managed for the last 20+ years always comes ready to play. There will not be any change to that attitude this year as we try to battle our way to being the last team standing. Its a long day but somehow there's always enough energy to play that last inning during that last game. All you have to do is look for the team name "LAW", representing the Law Dept. No telling where LAW will end up this year but we will make it exciting as always. 

If you feel like coming to cheer us on or just want a day out with the family this Saturday would be a great opportunity to do so. Here is the address.

The Start of something new

So Rumor has it that I got married this past weekend. And I just wanted to put it out to the cyber world that although the media is having a frenzy with this and TMZ will not leave me alone, this rumor is true! I did get married this weekend to my lovely new wife Lila.

This was hands down the best day of my life and I can't say thank you enough to everyone that helped with our special day.We worked very hard on creating a day full of love and fun. My new wife looked goddess beautiful and the love and support we received from our friends and family was unbelievable. Everyone of course keeps asking me "How does it feel to be a married man"? I can only respond by saying it feels fantastic. It was a long year and a couple months of planning and it is feels great for it to be coming to a close. But as everyone knows when one door closes another door opens. I feel very excited to start my new life with my new wife and the way I feel right now the sky is the limit.
