A Memoir From the Orlando Airport



I finally taught myself iMovie...I think. Let me know if it works. Enjoy.

Baby, its cold...inside


I love cold weather. Late fall and winter months are my favorite. I like walking outside with the sensation of needles hitting my face. Yes, this is strange, but its who I am. Because of my love of cold weather, I only turn the heat on in my home when guests ask me to do so. This past tuesday, for instance, was only the 3rd time the heat has been on.

With recent drops in temperature (it was 19 degrees this morning), I've had to adjust and adopt a new policy. My heat is now blasting...at a scorching 65 degrees. So for those of you who kept telling me that eventually I would give in and crank up my thermostat, you win. My pride is ruined. But my toes are warm.

All Good Things Must Come to an End...







I miss Orlando.

I want to go back. I had too much fun.

Since all of you couldn't go with me, here are a few pictures of my vacation.

Pic 1: Darren McFadden has received the Doak Walker award twice in this building.

Pic 2: The king of the jungle! I've never been this close to a lion not in a cage.

Pic 3: Fireworks show at Epcot on Wednesday night.

Pic 4: There's me at a piano bar. But not to worry. Nothing stronger than Red Bull touched my lips.

Pic 5: And the Red Bull inspired me to get up on stage to dance. This photo is blurry, but I'm the one in the brown shirt. If that doesn't help, I'm the only one with testosterone on stage.

Pic 6: There's me and my friend, Ben, who works at Disney. This was taken at the Comedy Warehouse, an improv show where Wayne Brady actually got his start.

We managed to hit all 4 major parks on Wednesday, then spent all day at a Disney water park on Thursday. Quite strange to be going down a water slide in January.

I once read that no one needs a vacation more than the one who just got back from a vacation. This is true, in my opinion. All in all, it was a great trip that, unfortunately, had to conclude. But seriously, I wish I was still there.

Orlando Bound!



As I write this, I am frantically packing for a 4 day excursion to Orlando, Florida. From Jan. 8-11 I'm going to be a big kid, spending everyday at Disney World. Its been about 14 years since I've been, so I'm not entirely sure what I should do while I'm there.

For those of you who have been recently, what rides, sights, and restaurants should I visit?
