Diego and I had a great guest and podcast over this past Sunday, but unfortunately, the recording failed.  So I learned how I can prevent this from happening again, and being more on top of that.  But, today to catch up I sat with both kids and just talked like we always do.  Here's just us talking and hanging, nothing formal to bring, but no small thing either in my opinion.  

Take care and thanks for listening!

Another epic week of Father-Son bonding on our annual trip to go camping in San Mateo, California.  After camping Diego did a recording with his friend that camped with us, Miles Suggs, who is only 4 months apart in age and grew up together until our move to Texas.   We visit him every time we come back and the boys had a blast hanging out and camping.  I followed right after and spent some time with his father, Steve Suggs.  Also a longtime friend, who was a cameraman for Eye Witness LA before many years before opening  his own production company.  His company is Mad Dog Video, which currently has sets shooting there for Basketball Wives.  We got a tour for the first time which we were happy to see.  It has been open for 29 years, and has an extremely long list of credits which you'll have to go to the website to read.  

This trip helps strengthen our bond, and give us both opportunities to help each other explore our interests and learn from each other.  

Many thanks to all our friends we visited and of course my friend Scott, who without him I would still be searching for a father-son tradition.

Enjoy!

Happy Sunday! Diego go over a bit of reading, he reads from Geronimo Stilton, The Way of the Samurai, and I read a little again from 21 Lessons by Yuval Harari.  His book is no 'Book of 5 Rings' but is still a way to expose him to alot of cool facts about Japan's history.  We were both a little too relaxed from eating lunch, so excuse our overly calm demeanor.  Take care! And wasabi is hot.  

My childhood friend visits us and we take a nice walk down 7th grade memory lane, Diego gets to laugh at me.  Chris is the Jr. Marine Corps training teacher at Bedichek Middle School in South Austin, and is also an Air Force Veteran having spent time in Germany and Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Oh and some poop stories.  Thanks for listening!

Let us know what you think about the show.

Fresh back from our 3rd Annual Neighbors Beach Trip in Port Aransas.  We are very fortunate to have such amazing friends and neighbors, and we all get to share time and memories together, a new tradition for all of us.  Good times.  We also talk about taking care of the beach, and the importance of not littering, and also paying attention to how much trash we throw away everyday, not just at the beach.  

Happy Belated Mother's Day!  I had a slight delay in getting to this episode, but better late than never.  Thank you to all the Moms out there working hard and loving unconditionally.  Diego is forced to listen to me recall how I wasn't as appreciative of my Mom until later in life, hopefully some of this sinks in, and I am forced to listen to crunching.  Take care!

We saw Avengers Endgame yesterday morning, and here is your spoiler episode!  We are here for you if you don't want to actually see it.  Also we talk about bikes, saturated fat, facebook, and science.  Mixed bag here, enjoy.

Thanks for listening!

Today Diego's classmate Victor came to share his experience about winning a chess tournament, and earning his blackbelt in Taekwondo.  I also let the boys have some private time on the mics, so the end is just two kids hanging out, so be ready for that.  Thanks for listening!

Hi we had a guest neighbor Dylan Miller as I attempted to answer Diego's question "Why do I have to take vitamins?".  My apologies for the audio, I am still trying to sort out getting the 3 mic setup to sound correct.

Have a great spring break!
