Terrie. Did you hear about the person, a girl I think, that swimming from Havana to Florida? She wants to be the first to do it without the use of a shark cage! She CRAZY!
No, I didn't. OMG I got heart palpitations just reading thatYa, know, if one is determined to end their life, there are faster and less painful ways to go about it
Drowning or being torn to shreds and eaten alive by sharks are not how I'd want to go
She somethin' all right, but crazy was not one of the words I had in mind. A certain French novelist comes to mind ... think, The Three Musketeers

He wears number 39.
Brooklyn Cyclones - Class A Affiliate of the New York Mets Member, New York-Pennsylvania Professional Baseball League. Brooklyn Cyclones - MCU Park - 1904 Surf Avenue - Brooklyn, NY 11224
Tyler's brother, Matt currently is with Memphis (AAA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals) playing 3rd base and was called up earlier this season for a short time with the parent club. (In other words, he got the call to the show for a cup of coffee.)
If you guys can get out and see the Cyclones, please get a couple of pictures of Tyler for me.
Thanks!
I actually have never been to a cyclones game but if i do I'll take pics and buy a #39 jersey. That is great that he is doing well I hope he makes it to the show soon.

Well, it's official. DVC couldn't confirm us today, so I pulled our names off the waitlist. Unfortunately, that means we won't be joining you. The good news (at least for us) is that I confirmed us on the 22 October Disney Magic cruise.
I sincerely hope everyone has a great cruise! And if anyone ends up with "excess" DVC gear, we'll be happy to take it off your hands!
Enjoy!!!

Thanks Mickey!
(I'd settle for a hat and a signed ball!)
We really like our minor league team. Class A ball is a very interesting and cool way to see the stars of the future up close. I have a ball that was signed by some guy who played here in Appleton several years ago as part of the Mariners organization. Some guy who never really amounted to much. What ever became of Alex Rodriguez? Did he ever make it to the show?
LOVE the costumes!!!
LOVE THIS ONE!!!!!! HOW DID YOU GET THIS?! I didn't think they allowed that many characters to stand together for a photo op at one time. Or was this a print you bought at a store?
Is anyone else watching beauty and the beast on Disney Chanel
