A grapevine it's not

Last full day in VA, rainy, not sure yet if it’s cold since I’m only now having my coffee. C’s still in bed; crappy night’s sleep due to lack of digestion time for ribs. Woke up at 1:30 or so, wide awake and hot. Passed out again around 3:00. I guess C was up after [...]

Animal Kingdom with the Boczars was fun, though the Rainforest Cafe dinner was quite a bit less than stellar. Can’t believe we spent $100 >:( Going to dinner at the rents shortly. Mom wanted to take us out but I made her cook. She needs to have something to focus on.

Well, after a long program at the Hyatt Coconut Point we’re packing our bags and heading home. Happy to do so too, though this place is gorgeous and the staff wonderful. Sat at the bar downstairs last night, drinks in hand, and chatted with a couple of the a/v guys leaving this morning. Great wind [...]

Thankfully he figured he’d been rooked, so he stopped by Jeff’s to confirm and, sure enough, no oil change or rotated tires. A whole afternoon wasted! [...]

I don’t even know what to say! Obama has won the presidency of the US. Whether it was a great race, a desperate economy or merely the right time, a democrat will now be in the white house hopefully beginning a new time of stability, peace and prosperity. It makes me so happy that the country [...]

I voted to change the world this morning (see proof on right). Did you? And now I get to watch DVR stuff, since there’s nothing on TV but reruns and election coverage…everywhere. Ah the price of democratic curiosity. Nothing much exciting to comment on as my life is still overrun with parental duties. One of these [...]

And another month down…wow. I remember the rents saying, along time ago, that the older you get the faster time goes til you can actually hearing it whistling by your ears. Yeah, I get that now. General election tomorrow, and not a moment too soon. If I have to watch one more ad, hear one [...]
