I don't really care to share anything here about today's activities, so instead I'll talk about the camera setup I took to Disney World. Carey had mandated that I not take either of my 5Ds, the lenses, etc. I'd bought a new camera bag partly for Disney World (more so for my yearly trip to […]

The Epcot light show is one of the few things I remember from my visit to Disney World when I was six years old. Back then, the light show was more about lights than fireworks. I remember lasers playing a heavy role, drawing things in the sky and flashing about through most of the show. […]

I'm not going to list what we did every day, but today started in the Magic Kingdom and was the location for something which had the potential not to ruin our vacation, but to put a serious dent in the enjoyment. Carey'd misplaced her card, so we waited for her to get a new one […]

1) Depart Clearwater, FL at 5:00am to drive to Disney World. Epcot opens at 8, and we have to pre-check-in to the hotel (Pop Century, a Disney resort). 2) Epcot - Soarin', Test Track, Crush Live Show, Pops, etc. 3) Le Cellier for lunch 4) Afternoon nap 4) Hollywood Studios - Fantasmic, Toy Story 5) […]

Does Georgia have a factory that produces orange traffic barrels? I ask because Carey, Jill (Carey's mom), and I all swear we saw more traffic barrels in Georgia while stuck in traffic at 1am than we've ever seen anywhere else. We may have seen a million of them - they were spaced every 5-10 feet […]

We're off to Disney World, with a one-day layover in Clearwater to visit Carey's grandmother. The drive down was uneventful except for two three things. The first gas station at which we refilled took 20 minutes to dispense 18 gallons of fuel. We'd already eaten in a restaurant (well, if Burger King counts as a […]

Under new coach Dan Bylsma, the Pens went on a pretty amazing 12-1-3 streak. The one loss, it should be noted, was the guy's first game behind the bench and took place before he could even practice with the team. Pens and Flyers in round 1 of the playoffs this year? It's looking likely… if […]

The EDGA has posted their 2009 tournaments, and I've got to mark my calendar for: Men's Interclub Sunday, May 24 - Whispering Woods Match Play Championship June 8, 12-14 - Lake View CC Mid-Amateur Championship Thursday, July 23 - Lake Shore CC I probably won't play in the Amateur - it's at Downing on August […]

I'm at Whispering Woods and Lake View for one more year. Until Whispering Woods gets its range up and running (July 1, supposedly?) Lake View still fulfills a vital role. Carey's decided that, this year, she's re-committing herself to golf. I'm going to do my best to stay out of the way - get her […]

The record for the 2008-2009 Tungsten Blades. Not too shabby, and a great group of guys. Now, onward to the playoffs.

Some random thoughts about the Super Bowl that was…

Florio of PFT objects to the playing of music while players were injured at Heinz Field yesterday. Call it making something out of nothing. Call it overly PC. I call it "Florio knows how many Steelers fans there are and he's trolling for hits." The fans were respectfully silent. They wished Willis "good luck" and […]

"Pittsburgh's goin' to the Super Bowl. Here we go…" Brad's a Cardinals fan, and I'm a Steelers fan, so I suspect we might do something fun and Super-Bowl-related with Cynical Peak. Stay tuned. P.S. If they fire Bruce Arians between now and February 1, I wouldn't mind.

I've just renewed my driver's license online. I guess I'll get a "camera card" in the mail eventually, will take that to the DMV, and they'll give me a license. And only $26! I got my last license in 2005 around my birthday. Licenses in PA expire the day after your birthday (March 23, so, […]

By far, the worst movie Kevin Smith's made ((Well, at least that I can think of off the top of my head.)). The best part was seeing Elizabeth Banks in a classic blue Penguins jersey. Maybe she should try out for them - they couldn't get much worse lately ((They'll pull through the slump.)). I […]
