Well, it's been like a month or so since our last daily posting. Yes, we've been slacking. But, it was all for a good cause. In the last month, I moved into a new house for a rental savings of $625 per month and I secured a lease for my new business venture -- Oddfellow's Books. I'm opening a bricks & mortar book store at 4374 Eileen St. in Simi Valley, California. We plan to sell novels, first editions, self-help and How To advise books, as well as DVD videos and compact discs. I'm building bookcases and arranging store on a daily basis to get ready for our opening later this month. I can't wait to open the store and meet new friends through the shop. Life is about experiencing change -- nothing better than a new business to create new times in your life. After almost 4 years of not working and tending to my children, the kids are bigger now. They're well grounded in their California lifestyles. It's about time to do something new and exciting... I'm ready for the challenge.
Once things settle down a little bit, I'll get right back to posting on this blog. I have found a few bucks and have kept a fair record of the finds. Until then, wish us luck!

The long walk home!
April 4: After lunch at California Pizza Kitchen with my family, my wife and kids left for Cerritos to visit with Mayma. They spent the night... I had to play in a team tennis match on Sunday morning so I decided to stay home. I let them leave me at the Simi Edwards theater where I saw the movie, MISS MARCH. It was RAUNCHY! After the movie, I began my six mile walk home. It took 3 hours with a stop for dinner at Sharkey's Mexican on Sycamore Ave. I found 2 dimes and a penny along the walk.
