Leaving Florida

In less than 24 hours I will be leaving FLA for the arctic north that is Huntsville, AL. Everything north of the Florida state line is “up north” to me. So, I’ll be missing and not missing a bunch of things. Of course, friends and family top that list, Florida bloggers included. The coolest thing [...]

Hacking at Disney World

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.  [...]

Navel-gazing and thinking about Hannah Montana

I admitted a few weeks ago that I like Hannah Montana. Florida Sun Dog-say-what? Perhaps I should clarify: I like the Hannah Montana TV show. You pervs can just get your sick minds out of the gutter. So, I was watching the latest episode of Hannah over the weekend with some great guest performances turned [...]

The Best of Both Worlds: A father's admission about Hannah Montana

Mark of the Mark, Gennie, & Dahmer (MGD) morning show at Rock 104.5 in Jacksonville made a startling admission on Monday’s show, a dark secret shared by the fathers of daughters across the country: He likes watching Hannah Montana. Of course, Mark’s son is only 3 1/2 years old and has no interest in Hannah [...]

Vacation Tip: Use discount card to save money in Orlando like the locals

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 [...]

7 Reasons Florida is Better Than Georgia

So, I had my Georgia post nearly done, so I’m posting it before I post my NC post – sue me! Anyhoo, the Florida-Georgia rivalry extends well beyond the football field, and despite the classless display by those dastardly Bulldogs in Jacksonville, whupping up on our beloved Gators then rubbing it in their faces like [...]

Want to learn more about Orlando?

If you’re coming to Florida on vacation, you’re most likely going to wind up in Orlando at some point. Such is the draw of the Mouse. If so, you may want to check out some of the hotel guides and the Orlando city guide I’ve linked to. What I like about the guide is that [...]

Blogger poker championship

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.

The gayest post I've ever written

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 [...]

My idea of a perfect Caribbean vacation

I’ve always wanted to go to the Caribbean on vacation. Hey, Florida’s great, but sometimes I need a change of scenery. Every time I’ve mentioned it to anyone, they always start with “Hey, there’s this cruise ship…”, to which I jam my fingers in my ears and spin around singing “la la la la la [...]
