Continuing my intro....
"Granny", as we lovingly refer to Judi, is another big part of my life!
I met Granny in 1983 when I came back to California after moving to Idaho for a few years. She was the first person to be stuck training me at HGH. She will admit that she didn't really like the idea of training me at first, but then she ended up liking me and we became great friends! My mom was still in Idaho and I was staying with my Aunt Mabel, (a slightly bitter woman at times), and Granny and I just kinda latched on to eachother! She had 4 kids at home, and all but one of them
was close to my age! Cyndie, seen in this pic to the right is just a year younger than me. Then we have Rick, who is a year older than me. Then there is Penny, who is a year or maybe two younger than Cyndie, but we've always said that Penny was the more "mature" one! She was mistaken for being older than Cyndie more than once! Then we have Julie, the baby! She was just 13 or 14 when I first met them! Over the years we have accepted each other as family! I love this family like crazy!! Unfortunately for me, none of these crazy people fish! I don't know..... maybe it's unfortunate for them!
These pictures, by the way, were of Granny's birthday when she turned fifty something! It was a surprise party and SHE WAS SURPRISED!!
This is Dan! Danword as he is often referred to for an unknown reason. I have known Dan since we were 13! He is one of very few people left that has known me this long!
Dan and I went "Steady" for a whole day, back in 1978! He was so cute and I was such a brat! We always said that if we weren't married by the time we turned 35 we would accept the fact that we were really meant to be together and get hitched. But I think we may have decided better of that decision! Ok..... ONE of us has made the decision to never bring THAT up!! I love Dan like my own brother! He and I go way back and we have been thru life and death together and we share something that I can't explain, (I still don't want him back!) Crenda and I tried to help h
im out for awhile and he was doing well, then Mark >> had just gone thru a hurtful divorce and moved back to San Diego and needed a room-mate....... YAY!! We found an adoptive home for Dan!! Sorry Mark! But we thank you for putting up with all you have the last 10 years!! You need an honorable mention somewhere!
Mark is another special man in my life. I was his supervisor at ARC San Diego when we first met. He does like to fish and we have had our share of fish stories and boat stories! Mark is a special kind of "special". Our birthdays are just a day apart and we have an understanding of each other that just gets us in trouble! Sometimes with each other and sometimes with others! My mom didn't like him at first, but when I told her of his accomplishments and his hard road traveled she grew an appreciation and decided to give him a chance and they ended up being friends in the end!

I have been blessed with some very special people in my life! I will spare you of any further picture plus intro, and sum up the pics with names. Kristen and Stacey are people I worked with at the casino. They have remained in my life as buddies, fishing and other childish games we play!
Javon is a very special child! He is Lori's great nephew and one smart cookie! He learned how to fish last summer and he likes me, so he can't be all that bad of a guy!!
Peggy!! Speaking of colorful! She has colored my life many times! She has known me actually a little longer than Danword.
She was my moms best friend and a co-worker back in the '70s!
Peggy has helped me through some moments! I really appreciated her humor and kindness when Mom died. That may sound wierd to need humor in a time of such grief, but it was much appreciated and needed! My mom was a funny lady and I will always appreciate that!! We found some pretty odd times to laugh at life, and Peggy knew my mom pretty well, and knew how important it was for me to keep a level head or lose myself completely!! So, another key player in my mixed up life!
And this brings us to Christopher!! He and I decided last year that we may as well get married! We haven't actually done this legally, but we call each other husband and wife, and we have 4 kids already! They are Sharquise, Toeneesha, and the twins, Patron and Margarita! The twins are good little babies! The other two are troublesome and we ship them off to camp or accross the border to sell gum so we don't have to deal with the police!! Are you getting the idea that I am the nut job I promised you?! That's why my people love me and I love them!
We are all a bunch of fruit cakes!! And now..... you are a part of my world! Welcome!!!
I was going to go fishing today, as we always do on Fridays, but the weather looks gloomy and my back has been killing me lately and I have a new addiction..... Blogging!! I will end this intro for today and I'll be back with more fishing pictures and start telling some fish stories!! Some of them actually have to do with FISH!!
