Cyclone Door Accident At Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
Posted on August 6, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | 3 Comments
One of Z’s favorite rides at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk reportedly started falling apart on Monday. Apparently the entrance ramp/door to the Cyclone opened while in motion and banged into the interior ride a few times before the ride-op could shut it completely down. Although news reports are full of quotes like “[t]he door flew off and almost killed my…
Legally Blind On the Boardwalk
Posted on August 3, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Health Care | Leave a Comment
Two Tuesdays back Z and I headed to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for what we intended to be a short trip. The plan was to drive over the hill, spend about an hour in the ocean, teaching Z to dive under waves and maybe body surf a bit, then get our annual Old Tyme photo. I suppose I should…
Changes On The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Midway
Posted on April 27, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment
Z and I made our first joint trek of 2008 to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk last weekend. I’ve been unable to afford to renew our season passes yet, so it was a games only day (oh and Z finally got her first deep fried twinkie - she liked it 
). Sometime over the winter semi-closure of the Boardwalk a…
Cancelling The Christmas Trip
Posted on December 17, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment
It took me six months to plan it, three months to pay for it and less than a week to cancel it entirely, losing about $650 in the process. Here was the itinerary:
- 12/26 - Early morning pickup of Z, heading up to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo for a day of wild rides and coaster fun followed by an evening…
Searching For People? Search Spock
Posted on December 12, 2007 - Filed Under Technology | 2 Comments
Sometimes you’re just looking for information. At those times a general purpose search engine is perfect. But sometimes you’re looking for people and that’s where the “big boys” of search all fall apart. What we need is a completely searchable online Who’s Who for whatever it is that interests us. Luckily, we already have one in Spock. I’ve written about…
Belated Weekend Report, pt 2 - Disc Golf
Posted on October 8, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood | Leave a Comment
I opened part one of this weekend’s report with the statement that I was physically unable to write this earlier. Then I never really pointed out why. Well, here’s your answer…
Emboldened by our successful french toast endeavor, Z and I headed up to Hellyer Park in San Jose to play our first round of disc golf with her new discs.…
Another Wasted Weekend :(
Posted on September 16, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood | Leave a Comment
It’s 10:35 on Sunday night. This is the time that I’m typically blogging about my adventures with Z over the weekend. Alas, there were no adventures this weekend. Luckily, I got some bonus time with her mid-week, but nothing makes up for missing our Saturday morning breakfast ritual.
I was scheduled to have her both Saturday and Sunday, but she got…
Wheel Bearings, Rides, and Frisbees
Posted on September 3, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Ride Reports | Leave a Comment
While running errands on Friday morning with one of my clients, the “buzzing” that Rover (which is what Z named my Ford Bronco) was joined by a clanking noise. It just got worse when I went to pick Z up that afternoon and my most mechanically knowledgeable friend couldn’t really diagnose the problem. So I turned to Google and self-diagnosed…
