This one time, on Alderon....

Jack and his buddy wax philosophic about space bars, green women, light sabers and other topics during a break in the action at the Halloween Parade....

These are not the droids you are looking for.....

This pose and several variations were practiced in the mirror by the Jedi Knight in training....

Don't be fooled by the cute child, this post is a serious political Rage Against the Machine

Here's Jack....But this is not just a photo of the greatest gift I have ever had the joy of sharing ...Its a rant against the City of San Diego Parking Police and their complete lack of talent....

Long story short...(not that short)... they blocked off public access to Fiesta Island, to hundreds of dog walkers, horse people, joggers, walkers, RV enthusiasts, radio controlled vehicle nuts, kite fliers, windsurfers...etc... all to ensure that no one was sneaking into a City sponsored religious event (Zzzzz...) near the Hyatt. (I don't drink anyone's cool-aid, except Lem Motlow's)

Traffic control (lack-of-control) made the area around the I-5 and Friars Road a nightmare and I am sure that multiple accidents could be attributed to the poor planning by the Parking Police.

In a tough economic time when everyone is complaining about lost revenue...the City, through poor planning and no oversight, blocked a major PUBLIC attraction, denying access to TOURISTs (see $$$ for City) and locals (see pissed off voters)....for no reason.

On the other hand...In the years that I have lived here, I have never had the island all to myself....

These pictures are of a beach in a major U.S. City, during the summer and extreme low tide....

No Nap Jack

Jack got dropped off crying... said he did not need a nap....and then passed out for over a hour and a half. A picture is worth a thousand words. Dad's case rests and the United States of America V one almost five year old is decided quite quickly. I was going to offer a secret recording of him crying, " but Dad I don't need a nap!!!!...." but I thought it might seem over the top to the jury....and shock the conscience of the court...Even with a nap so late he is now sound asleep at his regular time...

No cabin fever here...Just Dinosaur pajamas and fun!!

Some call it following their bliss, some call it chasing the dragon... either way, I cool with it!!!!

Happiness is Vacation with Milo

No need to call CSI Miami on this one...

Nature does not make anything that blue. Factory goodness abounds. Jack ran from me trying to lick the icing off the cupcake wrapper and his hands...

And the horse he rode in on

Jack got his first horse ride on a real life U.S. Border Patrol Horse!!!!! Makes daddy tear up a little.

Thanks to Uncle Jay for suggesting the Brown Field Open House. Goods Times. Mean Green 318... Hold the Line!!!!

A storm begins to form....

This is how it all begins...a powerful machine with one occupant laughing and one snarling at the world. A turn of the key and this episode would have ended up on the 6 o'clock news!!!!

Jack is ready for the X-Games

This is how they get you at a young age. "Sure you can drive this machine son, all you need to do first is sign these here papers...."

The Future is here!!!!

Jack thinks a robot with a toy gun and no ammo is cute and funny....the E-Man is not so sure. The E-man thinks the robot smells like bad breath and warm beer....better check that county website.

You aint got no ice cream!!!!

Jack taunts his buddy Drew with his big bowl of ice cream. Moments later, Drew smacks the crap out of Jack for being a smart ass!!! (Just kidding)

Party Time, Mexican Style !!!

Welcome to my country!!! It's very nice to see you!!!

Newzed Kitchen

Jack eats his dinner at the new bar....He is much more excited than he looks. Really.

Boys in the Woods

Throwing sticks, stones and tantrums......

Florida 2010 (Where is my space car I was promised?)

Yes, the pilots actually let Jack and I sit in the Captain's chair. Great guys and the trip was as smooth as glass...Thanks boys!!!

So here we go:

Dropped off (thanks ma!), security wand (tickle tickle), Pilot's seat ("We can fix that later" -what the pilot said when Jack flipped some switches), wheels up, wheels down, Milo in the ATL kicking it with the rents, wheels up, wheels down, rent-a-car (screwed me), Gandpa J and Nana, Sanibel Bliss...and the E-man....thunder storm, travel delay, turn in rent-a-car (screwed me harder and no mint on my pillow),wheels up, wheels down, ATL (not as much fun without Milo), wheels up, wheels down, picked up (thanks Ma!), back home, slept for a two weeks......

More pictures to come.............

Hunting for T-Rex at Fiesta Island with Sugar on over watch!!!!

John the Conqueror Root, baby!!!.....

Gentleman Jack Tar and his good ship!!

The pirate Captain posses for a rare photo of him in port.....

I had to climb over a rock damn after Jack as an on looking couple laughed at the "fearless little boy," as they called him. Then Jack took a break, ate his lunch and lectured a father and his little boy on ducks. Five minutes later I was back scrambling across the damn.

Great outdoor day with the Jackstar....

Jack and Daddy watch as the New Year explodes into action!!! Jack's resolution was to be nicer to Sugar in the New Year. A few days later he takes joy in tormenting her with the flying lizard until she yelp and ran away. So much for resolutions....

Jack receives more Pirate wear for X-mas!!!!!!

Thanks Aunt Clara!!! Jack thought this gift was so cool he kind of stood back and looked at it in awe. Now it hangs over his bed. There is never enough Pirate gear for Jack....

Merry X-Moose!!!!! Jack's new number one snuggle friend
