Hot Threadz is Born...
6/20/2025 A long time ago, I thought about starting an embroidery business. I am giving it a go!
Always wanted one
5/30/2025 It's been quite a month. It is bittersweet and full of memories and reflection, but also, a little bit of joy. I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream...a Corvette
Mom: April 2, 1928- April 26, 2025
5/1/2025 After a slow, heartbreaking downhill ride, my mom headed out to her heavenly home. It was very hard to see her decline so slowly I am trying to move past the bad and remember the good.
This year hasn't been too kind (yet)
1/25/2025 I don't know exactly what did it - but I have my suspicions. Woke up on January 5 with a stiff neck and it quickly became more than just a pain in the neck!
Let's not do this...
1/1/2025 I don't normally make New Years' resolutions, but I decided I don't want to drive around in a dumpster. It isn't necessary! I don't drive my car very much if the weather is good - but when I do, it shouldn't be like driving a dumpster. By the way, that is NOT my car in the picture; it never got that bad.
Happy Holidays!

2024 - The Year in Review
12/7/2024I'm not much for those holiday newsletters. They used to be very popular and informative but at the same time, overwhelming. This year I figured I'd just include a QR code in my Christmas cards, and if someone wants to read this, they can. If not, no worries, no trees were used in this process, etc. etc. etc.
Spice Dump Time
8/30/2024 Every fall, I like to prepare for the pending holiday season by a nice pantry purge and this time I added a spice purge too. Spices do age, and they lose their potency. I had so much stuff crammed in my spice cabinet, it was ridiculous, so I flew into action.
Remembering Doug - The Ride to Remember
6/20/2024This is an article I wrote after losing my closest friend of all time recently. We were friends since we were 13 years old and it was an honor to have such a friendship with such an amazing person for almost 50 years. This article is a rememberance and a tribute. More to come, I'm sure, as I gather up memories, photos, writings, and the like.
Restoration Project: 1930-31 Royal Typewriter - Model 10
4/10/2024I found this typewriter at a yard sale in San Jose in 1994. I believe the price tag was $40 and George was going to work on a guy's mountain bike to pay for it. I've had it since, and haven't done anything with it, and something inspired me to start a restoration on it. Why not?
