I think it’s strawberries and cream. Feeling great today. Today is my 3rd day of good walking. No limp issues today.
This is one of 2 meds in my drip right now. Still feeling really great.

Well you think you have it tough and that you hate your job. Imagine waking up in the morning knowing you are the first responder to this notice.
Have a good day

Swing time
Posted by Perrin Derrick On F j, Y
So I’m on my way to M.D. Anderson on Friday.. well we are on the road now. I’m setup for my party at 7am.
Today I got to swing and laugh like a little boy.
And it was a joy to see my wife’s beautiful smile. I love her.

Bicycle fix
Posted by Perrin Derrick On F j, Y
Today I had a little time to sit down and work on my bicycle. Last week 2 miles into a 22 mile ride I lost the function of my two smalleat chainrings. This sucked. It took my 24 speed and made it an 8. My middle chainring was bent and I had to be replaced.
I had an assistant today.
Benjamin helped turn the wrench and straighten my ring. Now that my chainring set is back in order I find my derailer has a bent screw. I now have a 16 speed bike and Benjamin knows how to disassemble a crank and chainring setup.
Off to ride

The serious kid

Benjamin posing for a quick shot this morning.
This is the end production of how it always works out. I grab the camera because one of the kids are pulling off something super cute or adorable. Once the camera app opens and I try to get the get the shot, the supet cute left the kid. So here you have cute without the super.
Enjoy your Sunday

Dream House
Posted by Perrin Derrick On F j, Y
Well there is a house forsale on Lakeview drive. Lakeview drive happens to sit next to Lakeview park but not one person can find the lake.
This is one of 2 homes for sale today. This one sits on 1.5 acres and is a total dump. Looking inside you can see the owner looked to flip the house but it looks like they flopped.
The hardwood flooring and the open floor plan is the only thing this place has going for it.
The asking price is a negotiable $159,000. A bit high if you ask me. I would love to have the big yard that comes with this property.
Almost forgot about the garage workshop outbuilding. Sure its ugly but its a great thing going for this lot.
Viva Selena
Posted by Perrin Derrick On F j, Y
May 1995 put me in San Antonio, Texas. I was there as a sophomore in high school participating in the annual Spanish club convention. Sure it was a bit different than my typical after school activity, but it was a day away from school and some cash for lunch each day.
Our bus had arrived at the historic Emily Morgan Hotel. Its a fancy place for a 17 year old kid. I recommend you stopping by sometime.
So one of the nights the kids were running around with a buzz containing “Selena” and a shooting. I was the person at the convention with the least amount of knowledge when it came to the Tejano Pop Princess.
The mood turned from buzz to bummer when the news hit she had passed away from the gunshot. We soon found out the shot came from her own fan club manager. If that lady’s job was to get more fans and make Selena popular then she needs a bonus for a job well done.
As the convention concludes all the kids got back home with a modern day “I remember where I was when Kennedy was shot”
It’s always a tragedy when someone passes away before their time.

Many times folks ask “Why did this story come up” So here is the background of this post. The last two days I have been shooting video at a location next to the worst painting that was ever done of Selena. Once inside and setup for today’s video shoots we come across a lady who was pumped up about a trip this weekend to the Emily Morgan in San Antonio. So there are where the two lines crossed and pulled up the story from my high-school years.
If you are ever in Corpus Christi you can stop by her statue and her grave to take photos.
New glasses

On the 4th of July weekend I dumped my old glasses in Lake Corpus Christi. They did not float when they splashed.
Derrick Perrin – Glasses
Lost some and got some new ones. I started to go to Stanton Optical and had a bad result. The optometrist in the complex was great. The lab was broken and could not make lenses today. I hopped over to Visionworks because they were able to take care of me before. They did a good job and got it done today.
Thanks vision folks.
