Same old, same old here. What was the Museum like? Did you enjoy it?

The museum was excellent. They had a lot of props, memorabilia, and various equipment from all kinds of movies and tv shows. In addition, there was a small arcade on the top floor.

Well, yesterday turned out to be quite the day.

Some sad news today. After a prolonged illness, my wife of 29 years passed away last evening. Although we were divorced several years ago, I spent almost half my life as her husband while we grew a life, raised a great family, operated a business and generally worked through the many trials and tribulations of life.

She was a woman of many accomplishments including two Masters Degrees, one in Nursing and the other in Gerontology and many other talents as well. She was not without her problems, but, overall did the best she could against many personal hardships. I am going to do my best to remember the good times, the dreams and the successes because in the long haul that is all that really matters. Rest In Peace, Gail!

My deepest sympathy to you and your girls. {{{Big Hugs}}}

And Home. And real life. Great trip.

Never want to leave but once aboard that DME, Airport....taxi it is always good to finally be home, especially after that particular driver. Oy.

I'm really happy that you had a great trip, welcome back to real life. Glad you are home safe.

Today was youngest DDs 22nd birthday. If y'all recall, we celebrated her 21st last year in NOLA. Not so extravagant this time, but, we did eat here...

Wow! That looks fantastic! You really know all the best places to eat. If hubby and I ever make it to Austin we will have to have you plan our food itinerary.

I want to go back to NYC. It's been a year.

It's been 12 years for me!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Heaven

I noticed last night I only had enough bubble bath for one more bath, so when I went to Wal-Mart today that was the first section I hit. I think this school year is going to be full of relaxing Friday night bubble baths! And I only have 6 Mickey bath bombs for the school year! I might have to figure out how to get to Basin at Disney Springs or the GF to stock up in November.

More of a classic 60's Ferrari man myself

It's been 12 years for me!

If you don't count the very occasional airport hub connection, it's been 25 years since I went through NYC on I-95 and 46 years since there was actual foot to ground contact for me. Since I'm not a wild and crazy guy, I don't really feel like I have missed all that much.

You just described the majority of the singers of the past 20 years.
Also, arent you exaggerating a bit? I can even understand what she is saying and that is a given considering my deafness

I'm so out of the loop I've never even knowingly heard one of Adele's songs...

 

[donaldtoo]

wow! that looks something out of a movie o_o

It does, indeed,but, I'm pretty sure it's real...!!!

 

[Goofyernmost]

I'm so out of the loop I've never even knowingly heard one of Adele's songs...

Welcome to the outside loop. I wouldn't even know who Adele is if she bit me and she was wearing a name tag.

10-4 on that...!

Don't worry, you aren't missing much.

 

[donaldtoo]

are those for some kind of ritual? or why would anyone want to burn that much wood ?

They used to build a monster bonfire every year at Texas A&M University before they played UT in handegg until it collapsed in '99 killing 12 students.
The still build one, but, on a much smaller scale.

 

[donaldtoo]

Don't worry, you aren't missing much.

Good to know...!

 

[donaldtoo]

I've heard similarly too. Hell, theres people who boast about "drinking 'round the world" til they cant stand upright D:

Don't get me wrong, I've had a cool buzz at Disney more than a few times, but, I was just feelin' good. I've never been close to falling-down stupid-drunk and didn't remember stuff the next morning.
For one thing, it's too darn 'spensive for me to get that drunk...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

I was thinking that too, but changed my mind. I'm afraid that if he got the rsnazzy ed, he might drive like a wild man!!

That's what happened to me when I bought my brand new red Mustang GT back in '85...it only lasted 5-1/2 months.
I blame it on the red. Yea! That's the ticket...!

 

[Cesar R M]

Overpriced Levi's store in Downtown Disney...as if they were not expensive enough at the regular mall and NEVER GO ON SALE.

Ok so maybe they do. They call it $2 cheaper than the normal price.

That doesnt even cover the tax, right?

 

[donaldtoo]

Hahaaa...!
I just googled "Images of roses in the snow"...!
