Man, that’s good stuff. Bionca and I just got back from Kobe Steakhouse, and we got an assortment of sushi. I have never had that variety. It was very nice. Bionca even tried the sashimi, though she couldn’t get over the texture. I would like to go to Gasperilla, but I don’t see Bionca getting [...]


Getting back from vacation made me lazy apparently, since it has been a little while since I have posted (a week?). Lets see if I can do an update… The third to the last day of our vacation was spent mostly walking around Manhattan. Nothing super special. We went to Bloomingdales and Tiffany’s. I felt [...]


Brr… It was COLD today. In order to stay warm I had to wear two pairs of jeans. How ridiculous is that? Surprising though you couldn’t tell. It is strange having ice that doesn’t melt by noon. We do get freezing temps at home, but it usually melts so fast during the next day. My [...]


It snowed! I am a native Floridan. I have lived the all of my life. Now it has snowed in Florida while I have lived there, but every time it has snowed where I live, I was out of town and pissed when I got back. I saw it once the last time that I [...]


I have this to say about the subways here: They are noisy, they are crowded, they feel like they are going to fly off the track at any moment, and I do not recommend that anyone use them at all while in New York, that is unless you want to get anywhere! The subways are [...]


New York is awesome! We were going to the Statue of Liberty, but it was so foggy that at best we could have seen her kneecaps. (We later found that the ferry wasn’t running anyway due to the fog.) Instead, we went to the World Trade Center. My wife was very moved by it. Personally, [...]


We arrived here Tuesday evening on a Spirit flight. The aircraft was a bit small: only 5 seats per row, and a passenger cabin only about 200 ft long. I didn’t mind, but my wife was a bit uncomfortable. I did all that I could to help by giving her the isle seat and just [...]


Sounds strange, I know, but man was that good. My mother-in-law made it. Its apparently a special dish, and I see why. Well, my last day of work before my vacation was today. I am really worried that they are going to call me every day. I guess that I should be happy that they [...]


I went to Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. That in of itself isn’t anything big; I have the Florida Resident Seasonal Pass. What was interesting is that I went with my wife, and her god-son. (My god son too? I don’t know.) What was strange about it was the fact that since he is under 40 [...]


It just rankles me when I am using a toll road to get to where I want to go faster, and I get stuck in traffic. Its not the kind from accidents that get me; there is nothing to be done about that. It’s chronic traffic that pisses me off. It can be managed. Plan [...]


It seems to have become the new event. My sister, her boyfriend, my wife, and I have been playing Mario Party 5 in the evenings. Its pretty cool, since I really don’t see much of my sis’s boyfriend otherwise. It also is pretty good at getting us all laughing. The games can run a little [...]


Note to self: Reheating fried catfish in the microwave really isn’t a good idea. Its dry and hard afterward. That is all.


Okay, my last post just got me thinking of something that bugs me, and I am going to get it out. (again) I am sick to death of going to the movie theaters where the prices are constantly going up and the concession prices are outrageous ($5 for 40oz of COKE? It costs you like [...]


Oh, happy day! I found a NES emulator for Windows Mobile! Now when I have those moments where I need to occupy a bit of time (like waiting through the commercials in a movie) I can play my favorite old-school game. Joy!


It’s a new year again. Funny, it just feels like any other day. Also when you have lived though a change in millennium, what is the importance of just the turning of the least significant digit in our annual numbering? Not much. I really didn’t do much for the change-over. Just watched Serenity on DVD, [...]
