Feeling Blessed 2019


I feel very fortunate and happy everyday. I have a great family, great friends, a wonderful job where I'm working in a friendly and warm environment. Some days are very busy, but I enjoy what I do. I'm an ordinary person who is lucky to often made to feel extraordinary by those around me. Thank you, I am very grateful.  (From 3/25/2019).

Thank you again to the Twin Sisters for their decoration and brownies.

Amber predicts that I have 10 years left. Hahahaa, just kidding.

ASAP - Mile 85 (Thank you Mark)


Thank you, Mark, for your generous donation to the shoe charity.  This will help me get more shoes for a cohort of teenagers were are under the services of the Foothill Family Shelter in Upland.  I will work on making the purchases of fitted shoes over my upcoming spring break.  As always, 100% of the donations go directly towards buying shoes for foster/homeless children in need.  Thank you. -Ricky

Thank you, Amber, again


Amber surprised me again last Friday morning with a cup of hot green tea latte.  When I asked her what she got herself, she says she was out of money.  I told her not to buy me drinks.  Kids these days never listen....=)

Thank You Sumi


Sumi and friends visited UC Irvine last Friday on their day off from school.  She brought back for me this souvenir from her campus visit.  By all accounts, the students loved the beautiful green campus.  (From 3/14/2019).

Bonita Pi Day 2019


I got a Dutch apple pie to share with the faculty on Pi Day.  Thank you to Mrs. Verti for setting the dessert counter at the faculty lounge.  Thanks to Mrs. Vandenberg for the creative Pi cupcakes.  I bought Pringle's for my classes.  Pringles have the letters P and I, the tubes also come in cylindrical shapes.  That's good reason enough. (From 3/14/2019).

Thank You Amber


Amber is one of the top students at Bonita. She is in AP Statistics this year.  On Tuesday, she woke up extra early to buy me coffee.  Thank you, Amber.

I returned the favor by getting Amber a mung bean milk tea and Ahlitney a strawberry hibiscus tea, both with boba added. I joked with them as I gave them straws that the boba straws elicit a classical conditioning response and they started to salivate.  (From 3/14/2019)
