This and That

To start out I would like to send my deepest sympathies to the Luce Family of Utah. They laid to rest the patriarch, Robert Luce, to rest today. I was friends with his son Corey back in the day. Rob was this big, bear of a man who as nice and quiet as they come. He was always cool with me. They lost a good man. The Luce Family is one of the nicest families that I have had the pleasure to know.
A few things caught my eye today. There is a lunch truck that has been doing business by my work for many, many years. Ernie's Al Fresco is a bomb truck. He provides pretty much anything that you could want as it pertains to old school lunch trucks. I can honestly say that his food rivals that of most restaurants. He has fresh ingredients and he has a huge customer base. His customers are so appreciative of his food that his truck has put his daughter through school at both the University of Michigan (settle down Cabana) and Stanford.
He was parked at his usual spot, the south curb on Ramona between Garfield and Marengo in Pasadena. So, up drives the famous, green "Nom Nom" truck and parks direct across the street from Ernie's. The funny thing is, Ernie's was packed and no one at the Nom Nom truck. This was about 10:30 AM. I left for lunch at about 12:10 PM and the Nom Nom truck was still there and now had a swarm of people. Across the street in Ernie's usual spot was a new truck to the area, the Ice Cream Sandwich truck. The lunch truck fad is just out of control.
Boy, does Framboise taste good right before bed.
Does anyone know why Zsa Zsa Gabor is so famous for? Other than some no name movies in the 50's and a butt load of cheesy bit roles in 70's sitcoms, she has never really been in anything of note. It appears that her only connection to today's news is that she has a publicity hound of a jackass husband. Every time that I check out TMZ there is a blurb about her and her ill health or her hubby. Enough!
Speaking of nothings I really need to say this: I HATE THE KARDASHIANS! They serve absolutely no purpose and have absolutely no reason to be celebrities. Aside from taking after their jock sniffing parents they really serve no purpose. Kim has no obvious talents aside from T&A. Khloe is a near descendant of Chewbacca. She is so not attractive and has nothing to offer. Lamar Odom must be high on sugar from all those candy bars to be with that wildebeest. Kourtney is the least offensive of them all. She just seems to go along with the family but is not a fame whore. She has a natural look that she is not exploiting. I think that she is kinda hot. The mom..........what a clown. I hate people that become "celebrities" from reality TV and sex tapes thereafter.
Finally, I have been reacquainted with the awesome joys of fatherhood this week. My far better half, Amy, had serious surgery on her eyes this week. Her recuperation has been painful, slow and just hard. Stitches in the eyeballs has a way to ruin your day. As she mends I have had to be the main caretaker for her and the might munchkin, Jack. My joy has been that I have had to get him out of bed, feed him, make his lunch and get him to Pre K all this week. We have really had a great week. He has been little or no problem and has been really affectionate with his mom and I. This kid rocks my world. I am so proud to have a kid that is as awesome as him. Jeebus, I am starting to tear up just writing about him. I cannot think of anything better than he and his mom in my life. I live for them. I am one lucky sumbitch!
