Rayne Droppings: April 2009
http://raynedroppings.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Welcome To Rayne Droppings! The Complete Life Of. FOUND ONLY AT RAYNE DROPPINGS. Saturday, April 18, 2009. Hunter at the bat. Before Hunter was born I remember everyone heckling me - or rather, being as mean as they possibly could for no reason, as if I had kicked their dog or something- by saying things like: what if Hunter doesn't grow up to like sports? Ah, yes. What if? Well no sooner are we on the aisle when I hear Hunter saying, well excitedly screaming really, BALLBALL! I followed his index finger...

Rayne Droppings: The Sporting Life
http://raynedroppings.blogspot.com/2010/12/sporting-life.html
Welcome To Rayne Droppings! The Complete Life Of. FOUND ONLY AT RAYNE DROPPINGS. Monday, December 20, 2010. I think this is what Tiger Woods' dad felt like. If I bet you which of Hunter's parents said this while watching him hit a baseball at two years old, which of us would you guess? What part of select. Is confusing to you, or rather, what part of "B" is confusing? Where is that in life? I have been hearing a lot of discussion about a book called Outliers. I am sure that is how Tiger Woods dad felt.

Rayne Droppings: I Lefse My Heart in San Francisco
http://raynedroppings.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-lefsa-my-heart-in-san-francisco.html
Welcome To Rayne Droppings! The Complete Life Of. FOUND ONLY AT RAYNE DROPPINGS. Monday, December 20, 2010. I Lefse My Heart in San Francisco. Hunter's very first Christmas, I was that guy and we dragged him to the mall so he could sit with Santa and have a picture taken. Now parents don't do this for the kids. Sometimes it is to build a tradition or get a little product placement and brand recognition face to face with the big red guy. Well for tradition anyway. Hunter gets to hang with his grandparents...

Rayne Droppings: May 2008
http://raynedroppings.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Welcome To Rayne Droppings! The Complete Life Of. FOUND ONLY AT RAYNE DROPPINGS. Sunday, May 25, 2008. Hunting for a Hero. Tom Cruise makes one or two film appearances a year. A baseball player can be the hero or the goat one hundred and sixty two times. But the scholar in me is reminded that, like Jim Morrison stated, many of my heroes are actually artists and writers, and so it is here I remember Oscar Wilde quipped, "In every first novel the hero is either the author as Christ or Faust.". And so Heath...

Rayne Droppings: The Giants Win the Penant (...)!
http://raynedroppings.blogspot.com/2010/12/giants-win-penant.html
Welcome To Rayne Droppings! The Complete Life Of. FOUND ONLY AT RAYNE DROPPINGS. Sunday, December 19, 2010. The Giants Win the Penant (.)! It only seems like the wait between posts has lasted longer than the Giant's World Series drought, and, incredibly, both streaks are over! There is so much to say since the last post, Hunter started school, left school, found another school, some minors were trapped and freed and the Giants won the World Series. Did I say that yet? In case you have not heard, Hunter l...

Rayne Droppings: July 2008
http://raynedroppings.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Welcome To Rayne Droppings! The Complete Life Of. FOUND ONLY AT RAYNE DROPPINGS. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. My grandfather passed down his fix-it gene to my brother, but I have Heather Jean. Well when I say "fix" it, especially in my brother's case, it is probably more accurate to think of a mix between McGuyver. Doc Brown, before the Flux Capacitor. Of course, as I said, I am not one to talk, because any handy-me-downs to Hunter will have to come from his mom. And now you have that automatic espresso.

Rayne Droppings: A Certain Gina Sais Quoi
http://raynedroppings.blogspot.com/2010/12/certain-gina-sais-quoi.html
Welcome To Rayne Droppings! The Complete Life Of. FOUND ONLY AT RAYNE DROPPINGS. Friday, December 24, 2010. A Certain Gina Sais Quoi. And I will win a Pulitzer like. And then she went off to college and it seems somehow she was raised right, because now we both suffer the curse that used be the damn Giants, until they became the World Champion San Francisco Giants. She bleeds orange almost as much as I do and gets equally angry at the bandwagon fans, and for that she should be commended. Besides our ...

Welcome To Rayne Droppings! The Complete Life Of. FOUND ONLY AT RAYNE DROPPINGS. Saturday, March 29, 2008. The Ketch Versus the Vikings. So Hunter was treated to his first trip to Emerald Bay, and he got to experience the family favorite, Fresh Ketch. It is difficult to say which he preferred more. These are a couple of the little pleasures that make visiting lake Tahoe precious. Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Here are before and after photos as well as a photo slideshow so you can judge for yourself. Thanks...

Rayne Droppings: August 2008

Welcome To Rayne Droppings! The Complete Life Of. FOUND ONLY AT RAYNE DROPPINGS. Tuesday, August 19, 2008. The first trip I took to Colorado, I remember as being a fun trip to Reno. And a miracle. I think I had been to Colorado with my parents when I was little, but who can recall that? Nevada and plop, plop fizz fizz went the fan belt thing. But now my memory will be of a different miracle. Hunter, Heather and I enjoyed a wonderful trip to Colorado visiting his god-mommy and her family. They gra...But, ...
