Royalty arrives today!

In just over 14 hours the family arrives. It will be my parents and sister’s first trip to California and thanks to Barbri I will have no time to show them around. But what I can do for them is give them a great home cooked meal when they get here. Today’s planned meal: A Caesar salad, Grilled jerk shrimp with a spicy and tangy honey glaze for appetizers and then pork chops in mushroom gravy with Baked Rigatoni for the main course. Probably the last time this summer that I can spend any major time in the kitchen…

Of course the arrival of parents also means the sanitization of the Apartment: everything even mildly eye brow raising has been taken down; thrown away or boxed up. The innocent young son is now on display. After all not many people my age have had their father expressly threaten to write them out of his will…from the pulpit!

About Me

Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt. Some think that I am mean; (I call them friends), in fact I am not that mean. What I am is sarcastic and dry to the sandpaper level. I have friends that I have never said a kind word to their face, but I praise to the ends of the earth to anyone I know and will defend them to the end. That’s just how I roll! My boys know that I am down for them, my girls know that no matter what I will keep them safe (and occasionally flirt with them [If you are a female friend of mine and think I haven’t flirted with you it just means you didn’t notice, it was extremely subtle or…not yet ]). No one is safe from my sarcasm even my own parents; hence of course as a kid I spent a significant amount of time in punishment. I treat people with respect if I think they deserve it – everyone starts off with the same amount of respect from me (a lot). You don’t need to earn my respect; you have to keep my respect.
