Today started out as a nice relaxing Christmas with the family. Of course it was supposed to start around noon at Granny’s house, but as per usual, we all were about an hour late. The gift exchange went well, and I think we all received something we wanted. My gift to Granny was a replacement frame for the picture that I gave her over 12…
December 25, 2002The past week has flown by. It is a pain working at the park this time of the year because you are practically there the whole time. Usually I have a nice long shift then come home, go to bed, and then before I know it I am back there again. After hours in the park don’t help either – It just adds to the…
December 24, 2002Well the best show on TV just ended its third season. The Amazing Race finished last night with Flo and Zack taking the big prize. It always happens that the team I root for on the show ends up losing. I really wanted Ken and Gerard to win the race – if only they had grabbed that taxi earlier! I really wish I could be…
December 19, 2002I finally made it out to see Star Trek Nemesis on Saturday night. I think this is the first Trek movie since Star Trek 2 that I didn’t see on opening day. Let’s face it, Star Trek just isn’t that exciting anymore. In their attempt to maximize profits, Paramount et. al. have over milked the cow. They had their chance, but decided to rush Enterprise…
December 16, 2002So my back is feeling much better. Not a twinge at all when I move. Maybe granny was right when she said I had a cold in my muscles. My throat has taken a thrashing and I once again sound like Bea Arthur. So perhaps the cold has moved up into my throat. It might have something to do with the wild and crazy week…
December 12, 2002Friday night Daniel came up and hung out with Cory, Brandon, Roger and I at the house for a bit playing L-C-R. After a few drinks to warm up, we headed out to the Abbey for some Martinis. While Roger was searching for his wallet, he cut his hand. He didn’t find the wallet and when we went up to the door they were checking…
December 9, 2002Far be it for me to pass up the latest and greatest internet fad. I was sent the link to YMDb by several people, but first by Cooper. Basically, you post and rank your top 20 movies and see how you rank according to other users of the site. It was very difficult for me to come up with only 20 movies, and even harder…
December 5, 2002It’s that time of the year at the resort when we close early and let all the employees of the company come down and enjoy the park. It’s two days of fun (even when you are working). One of the highlights was being able to ride Space Mountain with all the work lights on – it is quite the different experience. On one of my…
December 4, 2002The Thanksgiving holiday weekend was full of fun and surprises. It all started on Thursday when Roger and I headed up to his hometown near San Luis Obispo for some turkey. It is always nice to get out of town, and since both of our schedules precluded any long getaways, a quick drive up the coast was perfect. On Friday, we braved the crowds at…
December 2, 2002After some hard work and integration magic, I have finally posted the all-new Disneyland Paris section with photos from 1996, Scott and Debbie’s Trip in January 2002 and my recent trip earlier this month. There are a total of 298 photos in the collection now, and I think they look great. I have retouched a bunch of my recent ones due to the bad lighting…
