I recently "inherited" a wireless microphone (Shure sm58) but it is just the mic. no receiving end. Anyone knows what the receiving end looks like or where I can get one? I did a quick search yesterday and all I could find was a receiver that looks like a modem but don't know if that is what I need.

Thank you all who attended Steve's service this morning. It was touching to see how many people came. It was great to see the girls he coached in softball, boys from Boys scouts, All the cowboys... : )  I know there were many of you who were not able to come but you were there in spirit.

 I have all the confidence that when we re-unite he will smile, hand me a fishing pole and say " you are not going to believe how good fishing is here, and the beer is always cold" 

Words can not express how much I am going to miss my friend.


 


I took this picture of him last year when they predicted he would not survive pass Thanksgiving. He showed them. But I did not know he would last another year at the time and I wanted to have a snap shot of my friend that would be how can can remember him. It turned out to be the last time I fished with my friend but it was the must special of all. I appreciated every second with him.

No more suffering, no more pain. Rest, friend. Rest. I'll see you on the other side. Save me a cold one.

I can't wait to go watch this. My family and I are huge fans of the show and had heard they were going to make the movie but it seemed like it wasn't going to happen. Only a year away.

Hang on Ang!

Thank you, every one who responded to my previous post. I showed your comments to Tom and he was very touched by them. I will have some pictures from his graduation later in the weekend.

Today our son Tommy graduates High School. I can not put into words the pride, love and respect I have for him. It seems like it was just the other day when he fit in my arms and could fall asleep there.



He is without a doubt the best son we could of had. I love the special connection we have and I cherish that the most.




I can't wait to see what the rest of his life will be like, What kind of Man he will be.





Go change the world, Tom. We believe you will.

Happy mothers day! I hope you all have a happy well deserved day and hope that you feel like the queens that you are.


Even though I have not had my biological mother in my life (Happy mothers day, Marta! Wherever you are) I have been blessed with beautiful, compassionate, special women nonetheless.




Petra - The woman who thought me that it was ok to give a shit.




Alisa - The strongest person I know and my best friend.





Liz - She gave me Alisa. What can I say to that. I love having such a Godly woman in my life and she is an example of what I want to be.




Sandra - Sister, mother and the example I had growing up of what a good woman is.

I love you. Thank you for making my life better by being in it. Happy mother's day.

As some of you know we own a few comics.... Ok, a crap load of comic books
  So recently, while thinking about leaving the Real Estate Biz I decided to try to make some extra dolares by selling some of our comics. I've usually done comic book shows and have used eBay (mostly MTG, etc but very few comic books) and had been thinking of starting to do that again.

I've owned Comic base (a brilliant comic book archiving system) practicaly since they came out with it in the late 90's. They actually make it right down the street from where we use to live in San Jose. My equally brilliant friend jhitchin pointed out this past weekend that Comic base has a partner website where you can sell your comic base comics. All you have to do is up load the comics that you already have in your on your comic base program and mark weather or you want to sell them or not. Brilliant in its simplicity.

Anywho, any ony who is interested can take a peek here www.atomicavenue.com/atomic/SellerIssues.aspx. Please, let me know if it is easy to use or if there is anything I can do to change it or anything you would like me to find for you. Any one who reads this and orders some comics will not have to pay shipping.

 All proceeds will be donated to the "OMG Luis is so frigging broke he's actually thinking of charging his kids for driving them to school every frigging morning... I wonder how old you have to be to have a full time job?... The girls are pretty strong and I bet they could lift 50lbs easy, 60 even, maybe I could have them sell more girlscout cookies just slightly over priced, they could each pick a grocery store. I wonder how much people would pay? $10?.. oh WTH I'll just get a job" foundation.

Thank you.

 After leaving my office for the last time I got a message from a man that works at a restaurant we go to often. He got my card (my boss insists I leave my business card every time I go out to eat) the last time I went there and is requesting help from me to find a house....

Yesterday I called Chris Holbrook (a friend who is a lender and part of my team) to let him know that I was no longer working as a real estate agent. He asked me if I would consider to keep working if I did not have to pay a monthly fee to a broker and I said "Sure". Chris said"OK, I'll call you right back". It turns out his boss is also a broker and they are offering me an opportunity to work with them and I don't have to pay monthly fees.... So it looks like I might be able to do this for a while longer. I still have to look into the MLS fees. They can be quite steep. If I have to pay them any time in the next month or so I don't think it will work.

Maybe.....

    After a year and change, trying to make it as a Real Estate agent I've decided to leave the business and try something else. I couldn't have picked a worst time to get in to it but I thought I would have a chance since I am bi-lingual and very handsome.... : ) My boss told me if I ever wanted to get back in to it I would always have a desk there. I'm going to go to the staff meeting tomorrow and will pack up my stuff after that and that will be that.
 
   I realize that because of the state of the economy and the fear that all consumers are facing now I should feel no or little guilt about having failed at this but still I feel I've let my family down. I've had this day dream that I would come home and hand my wife this huge check that would help her to be not so stressed about our financial situation. That shit (excuse my spanish) kills me.

   Alisa is ok with it. She is glad I can be home more to which will make our life a bit less stressful. She is the best and I am so blessed to have her as my wife and best friend. My girls will be bummed, they love hanging out at the office and all the attention they get there.

I guess is back to selling comic books.... Any one want to buy some?.... : )
