Duke of Loma: Emperor of the Inland Empire

I am going to be moving down to Loma Linda to move in with the General Lee on this coming Monday, the 31st. Loma Linda is in the valley farther inland from Los Angeles. This valley is where all the smog is blown from the coastal winds. As a result, the air quality there is pretty abysmal. Some days you can see the mountains that are a mile away. Bleah! But, it will be very exciting to be out of seminary, and to be living to the General, and in close proximity to my girlfriend! yay! Coincidentally, it is the General's birthday today. And for that I made him an awesome T-shirt.

Loma Linda Land

Well, i am now an official season pass holder at Disneyland.  Then I will live in Loma Linda. And I will drive a red convertible, and maybe get a job at Old Navy. And I will have a pick-up truck, or umm... possibly even...a recreational vehicle, and drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?

Whoa! Anyway, for graduation, i was blessed with many great gifts, but especially, Ken bought me a pound of Starbucks' Kona Coffee. So, I converted our old doormatt into a thank you card.

Classic Mountain Weekend

 This weekend, i went up to the mountains with a group of people, and we had a great time. We did classic mountain activities?, including hiking, and shooting. The hiking was mostly on a uphill valley, where there was a waterfall at the end. The hike continued past the waterfall, with a steep climb around the falls with a rope at the top. However, since there weren't many volunteers to continue onward, this is where the hike ended its uphill journey. On the way down, we met another part of our group, and decided to head back up again for a second time. More exercise! Ack!

Balm Outage

Due to a router failure at our hosting company, the balm went down for several hours today. Email did not get through.The directors of the firm hired to continue the hosting after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked. The hosting has been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute.

Domo Arigato Bonsai

Sunday afternoon, my restless roommates decided that they needed to go do something. We settled on the beach, and enjoyed the convertible on the way to Zuma beach. After tossing the frisbee around for a while, and enjoying running from the surf, we headed back, and on the way home, we stopped at a van with a bunch of Bansai trees on racks on the outer sides of it. So one of my roommates and I each bought a tree.

Meow!

Saw Phil Keaggy last night. It was a stellar show. He played, and sang a duet or two with Larry Norman, who happened to be in the audience. They spontanoeusly combusted into "We are Siamese if you please." Amazing! Phil's pedal for his jamman double tapped once, and started a very short loop that was akin to a drum machine doing mach 5. He doubled forward, threw his arms forward and started furiously dancing around on his tippy toes as if it was German Techno or something. It was soooooo coool.
