My hugest apologies for not posting in such a long time!!!! Begging your forgiveness.
Today in Survival History, Navy Commander John Collins invented the Ironman Triathalon to settle a debate on which athletes were the fittest - runners, swimmers or bikers.
Sooooo, in two days I'm headed to the magical land of Orlando, Florida. It's probably going to be cold there, but I should be able to have some good times anyways. Our hotel has a HEATED outdoor pool which I may choose to swim in if there are no kids around. Kids make pools really bad places to be for a plethora of reasons, most importantly, their urine in the pool and all the screaming and running. I also plan to do a lot of reading, walking, golfing, relaxing, and crocodile/alligator avoiding.
I'm currently reading "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke, and I can't even express to you how much I LOVE this book. It's about a magician in England a couple of centuries ago and I can't get enough of it. Thanks to Stephen for lending it to me. You probably won't get it back, ever.
I'm pumped to see the new Alice in Wonderland movie when it comes out soon. It's in 3D! This seems to be the new norm for movies. Maybe in 5 years, all movies will be in 3D. And then all our kids will grow up only knowing about 3D movies and no regular 1D or 2D movies. It's sad that my future children won't be able to experience the pleasures of VHS.
I know you guys love to hear about my food adventures, but I haven't eaten anything too stand-out lately. I swore off hot dogs a long time ago but have been craving them lately. My mom insists that hot dogs contain cow eyelids and this just grosses me out to the max. I've tried the soy/tofu hot dog equivalents but they're basically inedible. I need to find some type of hot dog that is only made with regular cow parts and not eyelids or toenails. Any suggestions?
