DIS Dads DDC XIX - Squirrel!

Just got back from The Avengers. Holy Crap. Worth every bit of the $17 IMAX 3D. Must sleep.

I wanna see it again, and DW loves 3D. Maybe I can convince her to see it this weekend (unfortunately, not IMAX).

Good Day Men!

My kids want to go see it this weekend.

Been having intermitent service with my internet provider.

Had a tech come out last weekend, who was useless.

Then yesterday, the internet was bouncing like a rubber ball... and I went to call my provider, and the phone was just as bad (same provider)...

Is Wisconsin speed better than CT speed?

Well...I am working on harnessing the power of all of the methane in the cow farts. Sort of like training in high altitude.

Oh boy. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little... .

See? That's the awesome coming back out. You just can't handle my brand.

Hey! A bit of Disney related news! Booked the airfare for our August trip today. $116 /person each way. Always great when I can fly my family of 4 for less than a grand.

Also, to get that good rate, we had to fly down on Friday night vs. Sunday. An extra day in Florida, plus saving a few Benjamins? Yes, please!

Wow that's cheap - I was happy with our $235/person non-stop roundtrip that I got for our last trip.

So far - the cheapest I've found for the convention is $335 roundtrip non-stop.

I read somewhere that Milwaukee has some of the cheapest airfare of any airport in the country.

A few years ago, I was just checking Airtran's website - more dreaming of a vacation than actually planning one - and found $46/person each way to Orlando. I don't know if they were having one heck of a sale or if their website was messed up, but I jumped on it and booked. We were delayed getting on the plane due to snow and I was chatting with one gentleman and told him about the fare I paid. He paid over $200 for the same flight. Later I saw him talking to his family and I could clearly make out the words "Fourty Six Dollars!" coming from his lips. He didn't look very happy, either.

Southwest does occasionally have $89 or even $79 fares. They usually don't line up with when we're going, but the hope is always there!

Morning gentlemen. Another rainy day so no more field work until next week. I'm going to try to get things organized a bit more and still keep simplifying. Three close friends have all had relatives die within the last week (one lost her mother and father) and I realize if anything happened to me, DW wouldn't have a clue what half this stuff is or what to do with it and that is just the personal stuff. Work stuff is worse. I may start with transferring files from the stack of Zip Disks (at least they aren't 5.25 floppies).

‘Morning all…
The Forth is strong with us.
I may have to take the afternoon off to celebrate.

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise…

This reminds me of a conversation I had with my boy when he was about six-years-old.

DS: “Dad… when will I be grown up?”

Me: “Do you mean when will you be an adult or when will you be a man?”

DS: “Well, what’s the difference?”

Me: “The law say you will be an adult when you turn eighteen, but you wont be a man until the most important thing in your life is not you.”

DS thought about this for a moment or two and then with the perfect timing of a Second City Player, looked down, gently shook his head from side to side and muttered…


“Years, and years, and years…”

Ahh the joy of little kids, they are so willing to ponder big ideas, then they grow out of it and eventually we grow back into it.

Morning guys.

Had a travel day from heck yesterday. I was in NYC for the day and on our return flight we got diverted from O'Hare to Rockford. Now for you who are unaware of the budding metropolis of Rockford this is only 72 miles from O'Hare. Well we were grounded there due to storms and the pilot offered to let people get off the plane if they chose.

I jumped at the offer as DW was able to drive out to pick me up. (Best wife ever)

So instead of getting home around 8 pm as planned, I got home at midnight after driving back to O'Hare to pick up my car.

Oh and to top it off, my Mom came into town yesterday and I have yet to say hello.

On the plus side, this weekend is DD #2's first communion and we're looking forward to celebrating that with the family.

Here's hoping today is a better day!
