DIS Dads DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

Dads of the DIS talk about life, bacon, Disney, bacon, kids, bacon, cars, bacon, family life, and lots of other fun stuff! And beer. And bacon.
Happy Tuesday. Been nice relaxing days here.

WELP. RIP money.

I booked flights for our March trip that we had every intention of driving to.

They were just too perfect. price was wayyyyyyy less than I've seen, and the times ADD time to our vacaction vs driving on our own schedule.

Late night flights both ways, so it'll get pretty sloppy with tired kids. But, no 20 hour drive.

13 hours away here, so yeah, I get that road trip with children. I'm hoping to make that flight one day.

Entertaining game between Louisville and Kentucky last night. So Norm are you in the UL, UK or neither camp? Florida opened the renovated O Dome (their BBall arena) and played very well. Their arena is so old, I went there as a student when it opened. Off in a bit to buy vittles for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner. Simple menu this year, steak (and whatever fake meat thing she is having) and roasted vegetables. Also going to give Yorkshire pudding a shot. I am sure that is a disaster ready to happen. Have a great day everyone.
.

It was a good game. I caught the end after tennis last night. I'm a fan of both. I grew up in Louisville and have a degree from UL, so I lean partial that way. But, the history if UK basketball is what it is, and I've always been a fan.

Minimum ten to fifteen years.
But realistically, after the damage done during 2007-2010 crash...
I ain't sure retirement is even possible any more.

Thanks guys, I do appreciate it. The offers honestly help.
The main thing I probably need to do though is just to shut up and stop bothering folks.
.

No need to shut up. You still see me complaining about visiting the inlaws. It's a good way to cope. I still have that plan to go in 10 more years.

I hear you.
I remember quite clearly when I was in high school. Everyone had dreams, but I think I was the only one who was already thinking of retirement. I wanted freedom at 55.
Now I'm thinking if I'm lucky, I might be able to retire at 62 or so.... probably or so.
.

Which should be 55 for me as well. Always keep hope.
 

Merry Christmas Eve everyone. Had to make a quick run to Publix for a few items that I forgot. Other than that, the docket the rest of today is nothing. The kid is going to brunch with a friend and I will make Christmas Eve dinner which is munchie type stuff. Should take about half an hour. Tonight is watching It's a Wonderful Life. Best Christmas movie ever.

Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating and hope everyone has a relaxing day with your family.
 
Merry Christmas everyone. Quiet day at home here as well, not planning on leaving the house. Maybe do a bit of baking and watch some movies.

This was from last Christmas Eve. We were looking for Cj (not very hard mind you) ;)

Merry Christmas eve. Leaving in about an hour for my first of two disappointing outlaw gatherings. It's a 2 hour round trip car ride with 4 hours of hell. The next outlaw gathering is tomorrow. It really is highs and lows this weekend - outlaws, Mass, just the four of us, back to outlaws. I really used to like this time of year and hope to again one day.

I pray you all have a great holiday weekend and enjoyable time with your loved ones.

And that is why we travelled South last year.....alone.

Good luck Norm, we'll all be thinking about you. Don't forget your flask.
 
Merry Christmas Eve gents. Watching Christmas Story, tradition around here on this night. We are hosting Inlaws and FSIL family for Christmas dinner which means I get to stay home all day :thumbsup2
 
If they have no idea that they just made your wife an evil queen, it's hysterical.
If they did.... it's hilarious.

It's my outlaws, so yeah, I think some of them gave her that title years ago. Or, at least a justification for treating her despairingly.
 
Happy Boxing Day Gents!!!

So the best gift I got was a trip to Disney from my youngest DD! Wasn't as much as going to Disney, ( which is very cool) it's that her wants me there with her and her family for the new Grandson's first visit.

Happy Boxing day to you. Very cool gift from DD, bet it will be a great trip.

We had a nice Christmas. My best gift was a card with a heartfelt Christmas message from DD. Other than graduation, this year kind of sucked for us. Looking forward to the end of 2016 and a better 2017.
