down the rabbit hole

So anyway, to continue where I left off the previous post... The rabbit hole is never ending. I went BACK through all my old backup files last night, looking for more old stuff. I managed to scrape up the majority of my old pre-blogger "Free talks" from 1998, though I can't find much from 1999 -- there's a big chunk of summer 99 missing and I don't know if that's because I didn't ...

Link and a parasol

So to finish from my earlier post, Sunday we ran errands, and packed. And I ran over to Kevin's house and picked him up so we could go over his Link costume stuff. He hasn't worn it since 2013, so we needed to make sure everything still fit and worked ok. He's wearing it to Mickey's Not So Scary thursday and I didn't want to get there and discover his pants ...

what a drag it is getting old

Last week was Las Vegas for work. It was exhausting. I didn't take just a ton of pictures this year because it was all pretty much the same. Here's the view from my window: I ended up having Lobster Bisque at all 3 client dinner meetings we went to in the evenings. I ranked them all at the end. Dinner #2 was the best, I ranked it a 10. Dinner #1 was the 2nd ...

Disney Trip Pics, Part 2, & Restaurant Thoughts

Chase gave me his photos last night! I also wanted to talk a little more about the food, because it is one of my favourite things to talk about. Eating way too much food at 'Ohana: 'Ohana thoughts... The food at 'Ohana was a little bit of a disappointment to me honestly. I mean it was perfectly fine, I guess I was just expecting what I get at Kona Cafe ...

Such a conundrum. This one is ...
