Do I feel lucky?
I found a total of 4 four-leaf clovers in my garden...
Is that a sign of good luck? Seema and I are gonna head out to Thunder Valley Casino and find out... if all else fails, at least I'll enjoy some FatBurger.

I'm back... (but not better than ever)!
2009 has not been kind to me or my body... I got laid off, and of course the economy has gone to sh*t, and to top it off I strained my hamstring at the end of January. Then I dislocated my thumb, which indirectly lead to me tearing something in my lower back.
You really don't realize how much you use your lower back until you can't! You use it for everything... and I do mean EVERYTHING! I couldn't put on my socks or tie my shoes; I couldn't walk very easily or even look down at my feet without pain. Heck, I couldn't even sit or sleep without pain. Virtually any movement resulted in pain. It was pretty bad, and just when I thought I was getting better, I strained the other side of my lower back. Needless to say, I appreciate my lower back a lot more now and will be paying a lot more attention to it and taking better care of it.
Now that I have a lot more time, I hope to post more frequently...

Deep Sea Fishing, Monterey
We went deep sea fishing for salmon on Saturday, June 10th. I had to get up at 3AM so we could check in by 5:15 in Monterey.
It was my 1st time fishing and I didn't think I'd catch anything, but I was the 1st person to reel one in. In fact only 3 people came home with fish out of 20. Martin had the biggest one at 30+ pounds, then mine, and then Junior.
Other people caught fish too, but they were either too small or the protected "silver" and had to be thrown back, and one got snatched by a sea lion.
The fishing guide dude did all the dirty work as far as cleaning it up and cutting it, which was good 'cause I wouldn't know what to do.
When we got to the dock (2:30pm), we put the fish on ice and had the BEST DAMN CLAM CHOWDER... It was the "icing on the cake".
At this point we were so tired and I slept most of the way home... And once I got home, I cleaned up and went to sleep (7pm)... I slept most of the night and finally got out of bed at 10am... I didn't know fishing could be so tiring. I think it was the lack of sleep as well as constantly fighting to keep your balance in the boat. And to have a better chance of catching anything we had to constantly work our fishing line.
It was a lot of fun... here are some pics!!
There's also a link to a slide show at the end...
My 1st catch, EVER:
Nothing but the Deep Blue Sea... and the Birds:
Searching for a meal:
Feeding Frenzy:
Contemplating how I'll cook my catch:
