Seeing blog posts and tweets from various and sundry bloggers that seem to have gathered for a trip to Sea World – Orlando brought back memories of my time working there one summer in college. Normally, I was assigned to the Fantasy Theatre, working the Under the Sea show as an usher, or Dr. Lovecraft’s [...]

My handy-dandy AAA newsletter delivered more than just discounts to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. There was also discounts at SeaWorld. I worked at SeaWorld one summer in college and always enjoy going back with my kids. Here’s the skinny: 1. AAA members can visit Aquatica from May 1-9, 2008 for $30.95. 2. AAA [...]

I took the family to the petri dish that is Dismal Disney World last Friday. The thing that stood out on this visit was how many people were sick, and how many of these sick people did not cover up when they sneezed or coughed. I think it was “Canadians-get-in-free” day. Those people are animals.  [...]

Well, we’re going to Dismal Disney World in mid-December for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas. We do this trip almost every year – we get there in the afternoon, check in at the hotel, then hit the park at sunset. Rides, parades, hot chocolate, cocoa, then Dad gets a sore back carrying children who have passed [...]

So, I played in the World Blogger Championship of Online Poker yesterday. If you’re interested in poker, you can check out my posts about it over at my poker blog. If not, just know that I played against 1,337 of my closest friends, lasted 6.5 hrs and about 500 hands (it takes about 24 hrs to play 500 hands in real life), and finished 16th because I was stupid.

And that’s saying something, considering that I’ve written about American Idol on other blogs. So, I was sitting in church Sunday morning. Yes, I go to church. No, I don’t want to talk about heaven, hell, God, Jesus, life, death, atheism, agnostics, christians, jews. If you do, go to blogger and get yourself a blog [...]

Just a reminder for folks in Florida, the shuttle Atlantis blasts off at 7:38 pm. Weather looks good, and the time of day (dusk) should make for fantastic viewing! I think we’re taking the kids out to the beach to watch from up the coast a ways. If you’ve never seen a launch, you’re missing [...]
