How did we get to the second month of the year already? Well I know one thing that sucked almost 2 weeks of my life away, I got sick. I know I have posted that I have been sick before but holy cow, did I get sick. Apparently there is a stomach bug that has been going around the office and the rest of the world. Somehow it landed square on me. It couldn’t have happened at a worse time too. All last week I was scheduled for a class downtown for Microsoft SMS training. I made it to the class but wow was I still sick. My body decided that what ever I had put inside it, it didn’t want any more and was going to get rid of it by any and every means. This process used every known muscle (and some I didn’t know about) and pushed them to the extreme. After all this was done, I collapsed in a pile of smelly squishy goo and stayed there for about 4 days. I managed to make it through class in somewhat of a haze, I think I remember most of what was taught. Now I am just left exhausted. When I try and do too much of anything I get tired quickly. It sucks.

Some minor news from the home front. It’s tax time. If you remember http://www.wizzer.org/2005/02/well-crappity-crap-crap.html last tax time was the suckiest suck that ever sucked. I ended up owing a ton of money and it hit at a bad time. But I lived and made it through. This year I am proud to say that I DON’T OWE THEM CRAP! I’m not getting the hugest of returns, but I am happy not to owe. This means that I might be able to afford the new computer I want too. It’s about time to upgrade, and by upgrade I mean buy me a whole new computer. Mine is just getting too damn old and it’s gotten a little to picky on how it runs. I should have an update about that sometime in the next few weeks.

Speaking of computers, on the gaming front there have been a few changes. I have been playing World of Warcraft for just over a year. I am starting to wonder if it’s time for a switch. I have my level 60 Character and I love him to death. I have enjoyed the game the whole time I have played it……but…. This last week while I was sick I really started to realize that it’s a HUGE time sink. To do anything with my character I really have to log in for hours at a time. Usually that time is spent running through dungeons that I have been through about 20 times before searching for loot that might or might not drop and the rolling for loot that I might or might not win. Again, it’s not that I am getting bored with the game. I still have a lot of fun. I have a few alt characters that I have been leveling up and trying something new is cool. I just think maybe I need a break.

This leads us to the transition tie in. I am trying out a new game, but it’s an old game. Really old actually. Eve Online came out in May of 2003. They are running a 14 day free trial so I thought “what the heck, lets give it a whirl.” All I have to say is:

“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the drug store, but that’s just peanuts to space.”
– Douglas N Adams (or DNA), The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy

This is so true in Eve. The game is space based. Take the good parts of the space game in Star Wars Galaxies, and the good parts of game play from World of Warcraft, and you have Eve. Your character is in a pod in a ship and you run missions for different corporations. You can start a corporation of your own, you can go fight, you can mine, trade, build, etc. And the graphics are 1000 times better than galaxies ever was. It’s amazing that this didn’t become a bigger hit when it came out. I highly suggest checking it out, it’s 14 days free so why not! There’s only one server to log into but it’s so huge that you never have to worry about finding other people. If you log in, look for Wizzer in the Rens system.

Aside from all that things have been going slow. Work has kept me very busy lately and that’s a good thing. Upcoming events are, of course, Farpoint (happens every year). This will be Andrews first big convention. Depending on how that goes we will see about taking him to DragonCon this year. We also have rumors floating around about maybe going to Vegas. I’ll leave it at this, Amy is excited about the trip. So until next post….

For 9 years I was subject to the military medical systems. Those of you that have been there know what I am talking about and for those of you who don’t I hope you never have to find out. High on my hate list were military dentists. From what I have learned, these are the guys that opted to have the military pay for their medial career and start them off. Often times the “dentists” are still studying to get their degrees and use the military members as class subjects. Now I know that my teeth are not in the greatest shape, but the first time I had gone in to a military dentist, I was thrown on a schedule that involved me going back at least once a month for upwards around 2 years. This was still very early in my military life so I was very gullible. Since that time I was subject to 6 total root canals and have enough metal bonded to my teeth that I really should be setting off detectors at the airports.

In my later military life I learned to despise the dentists and would find reasons to cancel the appointments with no reasonable reschedule date. Sadly, this hatred has carried over to my post military life. I have been out of the uniform for 2 years now and have just gotten to a dentist yesterday. Mostly this is because I really needed to go. You see, one of the “fillings” that was installed a few years ago broke. I have a nasty gap in the side of my mouth. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s annoying as all heck. I have dental insurance through my work so I figured that it was time to take care of it. I called up a dentist in the local area and made an appointment. When I arrived, the office was very nice and the personnel were very friendly. The Dentist went through and too a Time Magazine photo spread of my mouth and started pointing out all of my problem areas. Everything about the visit was going great……until…….

Once the exam was finished it was time to discuss how we were going to schedule this out. Obviously the cracked tooth was priority, and there were 2 other teeth right near it that needed work too. They claim that they only do work on quadrants at a time so they would do the whole upper right side and after insurance is taken care of that leaves only $4000 that I would have to cover.

Excuse me?

Yup, apparently my insurance only covers about $1200 a year which means anything over that is out of my pocket and this one procedure was going to be F-ing expensive. Even talking them down to just working on that one tooth and filling the gap made it around $1000 out of pocket. This was where I started to get sick. There was no way I could afford something like that. I scheduled what little I could and walked out in disgust. On the way home I stopped by a little hole in the wall dentist office and asked them some questions. They made me feel a little better as I learned that the dentist I went to was VERY expensive and that this other office could do the work for quite a bit less. But it still wasn’t cheap.

So here I am, out $200 off my insurance yearly amount for that first exam, a gap still in my teeth, a mouth full of metal, and still a sick feeling in my gut. The military dentists did a lot of crazy stuff to my teeth, but maybe they weren’t so bad after all. At least while I was in, they were free.

Yesterday really just spiraled down from there. Needless to say, I crashed out early.

I’m sorry, really I am. I have been soooooo busy at work that I haven’t had the chance to update anything. So consider this an IOU. IOU one big post. It will be coming and I will do my best to update it with everything that’s been going on. In the meantime here are some kittens:

Ok, so I am behind on posting for the New Year, like it’s surprising. To be honest, my New Years wasn’t all that memorable. In fact most of the last week wasn’t that great at all due to my being sick. One of the days prior to the 1st, (I am not sure which one as they are all a blur now) I didn’t even make it off the couch. Have you ever had one of those days? I felt sapped of all energy, was having trouble breathing due to congestion, had a sore throat, etc.. This, of course, made Amy overjoyed as she then gets to take care of me all day. It did give us a great excuse to pop in the extended versions of Lord of the Rings to sit and watch. Lets face it, we weren’t going anywhere for a while.

New Years Eve was spent driving up to the airport to pick up Andrew as he got back from his moms at 10pm that night. This left us just enough time to come back home and open a bottle of Champaign and watch the NY ball drop. This made for a really lazy Sunday as well. What a great start to the new year eh? The only really interesting thing that came from Sunday was that Amy decided to try and play WoW. She created an Undead priest and, so far, is having a good time with it.

Monday was an entirely different story. First stop was the comic store. It had been just over a week so I needed to catch up on the latest titles. As an added bonus I picked up 1602 to read (haven’t gotten to it yet). After that it was off to Potomac Mills mall to shop at IKEA! Andrew needed a new desk and shelves and I wanted to finally pick out a bed frame. I am sick of just the mattresses and such without the headboard and frame. I guess that the bachelor lifestyle is grating on me. I need real furniture! Goodbye wagon wheel coffee table! So long Cinderblock shelves!! Indeed, Ikea is the place to find everything! And I really mean that. We filled the truck! New nightstands, Dressers, etc.. Needless to say, the rest of Monday was spent assembling! The rest of the week will probably get covered in the next post, unless I forget!

You know, I always wanted to use that as a title. This would have to be the first chance I have really had to make use of it though. I know I haven’t updated in a while. Really, I have a good excuse for it! I have been super busy. I mean, normal people get busy, and super folks get really busy, but I have been SUPER busy! All of the pre Christmas stuff had me overwhelmed for a while, but that was expected. Christmas was probably the most relaxing part of this whole time, but who wants to blog or read blogs on Christmas! There is actually quite a bit to update so I will try and keep it chronological.

To continue on the “13 year olds have no brains” train, I have quite the doozy of s story that happened the other weekend. This happened one simple Friday evening. I was driving home like normal, except for the newly acquired Best Buy gift card that was burning a hole in my pocket. I had planned to come home and pick up Andrew and go shopping, that’s when I get to about 3 minutes from the apartment and I get a phone call from Andrew.

“Hello?”

“Hi Dad, can my friend come over for a bit?”

“I’m almost home, can this wait for a few min?”

“I was just wondering if he could come over for a bit.”

(kind of flustered now as I am dealing with traffic too) “Umm sure why not.”

So, no biggie, I can take both of them to best buy and we can still have fun. I get home and start taking off my jacket when there is a knock at the door. Eric, Andrews’s friend, is there with two big bags in his hands.

“So, Eric, how long you staying with us?” (said sarcastically)

“Umm just till morning” (not said sarcastically)

“Pardon?”

“Is that ok?”

“Yeah, yeah , ummm That’s fine. Andrew can I see you for a minute?”

Yeah so, that was an interesting evening. Andrew claims that he didn’t know it was an overnight stay, I have my doubts but I will give him the benefit. We still went to best buy and I was inches away from buying an XM MyFi. We all played some games until late and got up Saturday and had some breakfast. That’s when the next big event happened.

Amy got into an accident. Don’t worry, it was nothing bad. She is ok. She had borrowed my truck to go to a Dr’s appointment sat. morning and was on her way back. She rolled through an intersection and was bumped by an SUV making a left hand turn into her lane. The driver of the SUV claims that Amy ran a red light and she says the guy ran the light. The cop on the scene didn’t cite anyone and there is a big fat ZERO damage to my truck. I was quite surprised really.

The SUV hit the left hand rear fender of my truck and I think it just brushed some grime of his vehicle because the few scratches that are there seem to wipe off. We have been dealing with the Insurance companies now and it looks like everything will turn out fine. What a pain in the but though. The guy was very obviously making an illegal left hand turn so no doubt he wanted to throw blame on Amy. She, of course, has been freaked out and scared to drive. We are taking care of that though.

Christmas it self wasn’t bad at all. Andrew and I finally got some time to get out and buy presents. We really did a whirlwind trip through the mall. Since Andrew was leaving on Saturday morning to go visit his mom for Christmas, we decided to have his official Christmas with dad on Friday evening. He made the decision for us to open up most of our stuff as well because he wanted to see our reactions to stuff. So we really had our big Christmas that night. Of course, Andrew made out like a bandit. He scored some more memory for his computer, some more magic cards, T-shirts, toys, etc etc etc. Amy got me a really cool fountain that does the cool mist effect. It has light and everything. The coolest thing about it is that it has a remote!

Lastly and most importantly is Amy’s Christmas present. Andrew and I had bets on whether or not she would cry when it was opened. I knew she would. She is still glowing. Amy and I have been dating for almost 2 full years now, so I bought her a promise ring. It wasn’t the easiest thing to find either. I wanted to get her a Claddagh ring. Mostly because I really like the style of ring, and it’s her favorite style as well. Also because one of Amy’s favorite shows is Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and in the show, Angel (Buffy’s love interest) gives Buffy a Claddagh ring.

She cried.

The next morning we took Andrew to the airport and went about a few errands that we needed to do. That night was Christmas eve and we sat down to watch a few holiday favorites on TV. We watched Elf, Amy had never seen it, and I had wanted to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life.” This would be when I learned the unspeakable (but I will speak it anyways)

Amy had never seen “It’s a Wonderful Life”

How do you go through life and never see one of the most widely publicized Christmas movies of all time? From here it gets only worse. It’s 11pm on Christmas eve and the last showing of the movie was an hour ago. THE LAST SHOWING!!!! It won’t be playing at all on Christmas day!! HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE!! I had a new quest. I needed to find this movie so that Amy could watch it! From my old Video store days I remembered that Blockbuster is open 365 days a year so we headed out to see if we could find it. NOOOOOOO They closed early!! Wait, CVS is open, maybe they will have it. NOOOOOO they have all the crapy new cartoon movies, but no classics! I hung my head and we drove home with only the XM Christmas channel to comfort us.

Christmas day was the ultimate lazy day. I don’t even think we made it out of our PJ’s. Around mid-day I started making a special Christmas dinner for Amy. We had smoked ham, stuffing, garlic smashed potatoes, green beans, and for desert apple cheesecake. Believe it or not, it came out really well. I made way too much and we have lots left over still. In the evening we snuggled on the couch and watched a few other movies. It was a very good Christmas. Here’s hoping that yours was good as well.

That’s right, less than a week away! What did you get for your friends and family? What do you think you will be getting? I know that I have made it a pain for people to buy me gifts. My problem is that, if I want something, I usually just go out and buy it. The things I pine over and wish for are things that I really don’t need or I can’t afford. And if I can’t afford it, I really don’t expect someone else to go buy it! So I did manage to get all of my shopping done. Unless, of course I forgot something for someone. So here goes a little sample of what I got:

Amy:
IWVo njuBNKI UG;lkn;
JKb uwsn;o aciUB UBlkl
L KJ Biuw cdbL JIHU GY F;nh

Andrew:
kjBA**nbnbIh
Jnb;loms *YT7golnhd

Of course you will need the special Wizzer Decoder ring to read that list. You can order yours today and I am sure it will be in before Christmas (of 2006).

One thing I can let on is that today is Amy’s birthday! A year or so ago she mentioned to me that she had never worked in a place where she could actually receive a gift delivered to her office. I filed away that bit of info and saved it for a day like today. For her birthday I had a bouquet of flowers delivered to her work. On top of this, Andrew and I are taking her out to eat tonight at the Texas Roadhouse (can you say revenge?) Will post some more later this week.

This last weekend we had an interesting little incident. Saturday we spent the day out in the DC area. On the way home we stopped by the comic shop (of course) and while there, I asked Andrew if he wanted to go to the game shop. He likes to go there and play Magic cards with his friends. This gave Amy and I time to just sit and relax for a while, and Andrew got to have fun with all of his new cards. When it came time to go pick him up, Amy and I both went.

I am not sure you have ever been to your standard game store. There aren’t many girls there. I don’t want to knock the stores or the clientele of course, but it’s true. It’s like going to a Victoria’s Secret and seeing a ton of guys. So, Amy and I walk in, and at first everything is normal. Andrew is still playing his game so I walk over to see how he is doing. Amy starts talking casually with the lady running the store. After about 10 min of me sitting and watching Andrews’s game, I glance back and see your standard geeky gamer in a vampire shirt and dirty black trench coat standing by the counter where Amy and the Shop lady are. He is laughing along in the right spots of the conversation and glancing at Amy now and then. I sit and watch them for a while before I intervene. I walk over and nicely put my arm around her and say “he’s almost done, just finishing up a game” then kiss her on the cheek and walk back to the table.

Within 1 min, gamer dude vanishes. After we left the store I let Amy know what happened. I don’t think I ever realized how bad game stores wee until I look at them from the outside. I have to wonder if I had ever got as bad as some of those people. I like to think that I never did. Isn’t it possible to recognize that gaming is just a hobby and not an obsession? Sometimes I wonder about some of the people there. I know I have hobbies. I know that they might be considered “Un-orthodox”. But I don’t obsess to the point of missing payments or time with loved ones or god forbid hygiene. I would say that some of it is just a phase that kids go through, except that I see guys there that are my age and older doing the same thing. Again, don’t get me wrong, I loved gaming, and still do, but I just don’t see getting to the point that some of these people get to.

Ok, the surprise is here!! One of the new costumes I have been working on got delivered! I had some of the pieces of it a while back but I actually got the full costume piece recently. I think I am really going to have to work out more now. I knew going into this project that it would be spandex and spandex is very un-forgiving. I guess with my Spiderman costume it was all black and with the full mask it offered some anonymity. While I have a mask with my GL costume, you can still pretty much tell it’s me. Given that the convention isn’t until February, I think I have a good amount of time to tone up a little and trim down on the ol’ gut. I also plan to add a little to this costume. I don’t want to pull of being “Hal Jordan” or any other known Green Lantern. Since the new comic series goes over how there are now 7200 GL’s in the universe, I plan on being just a random one. This allows me to modify the suit a little. I was thinking of maybe adding a vest/jacket, boots, maybe even a belt.

Apparently my Green Lantern has already sky-rocketed to internet fame. A few weeks ago I posted a picture of the mask and ring on my buzznet site. Last time I checked, there were a large number of track back links to the pictures. One of them I followed and it led me to this site. According to this guy I am some sort of Mr. X. Who Knew? The guys at work are getting a big kick out of the pictures as well. I guess that’s what I get for living my life like an open book. The thing that gets them the most is that it really doesn’t bother me. I like my hobbies and what I do. Who knows what the pictures from the convention will do eh? So anyways, here is the latest costume The Green Lantern.

Well, Thanksgiving went great! Andrew and I had a great trip down to TN to visit with Lee and his family. There are also a large number of things going on that I realize that I haven’t filled anyone in yet. Also, I am sorry I haven’t gotten around to posting much, I have been pretty busy with all of these things. Now that the torrent of stuff is starting to die down I may have a little more time.

One main thing that happened recently is that I have gotten glasses. I have joined the ranks of those who have issues seeing crap when it’s not right in front of his freaking face. Amy finally talked me in to going to get my eyes checked and the Dr. gave me a halfway decent prescription. I don’t know exactly what the eyesight is (I.E. 20/20) but I have problems with distances. I have now had my glasses for about 2 weeks and I have really gotten used to them. Sadly I don’t think I have any pictures of me in them just yet so you will just have to check back and see if I post some. I really like them though and they are very stylish. When I first got them I sat there for like 5 min putting them on and taking them off. I was astonished to learn that I had bad eyes! (Funny, I thought the stuff far away was supposed to be blurry!)

One of the Thanksgiving events that I hadn’t reported on was that Amy got to go home to TX for her Thanksgiving! She spent the whole time there with her Dad and her kids. From what I have heard (and seen on video) they are doing wonderfully well. The main reason I didn’t say anything is that it was a surprise to some of those people back in TX and I didn’t want to ruin it.

My trip, however, I can give much more details about. Wednesday morning was a rough start for us. We woke up at 3am (ugh) so that we could get Amy to the airport on time for her flight. We really did try and get to sleep early on Tuesday but you all know how that works. We dropped her off and started out on our Father Son road trip. This trip took us down I66 to I81 to I40 to I440 to I65 then to Lee’s place. Most of it was I81 and I40 as they are a straight shot to Nashville. The excited start to the driving petered out around 8:30am as I started getting sleepy. So sleepy in fact that I made the intelligent decision to pull over and take a 30 min nap. It’s amazing how much that will help you on a trip. We finally arrived at around 4:30pm Nashville time. Thankfully we have XM in the truck for those long drives. It’s nice not having to channel surf through areas.

Thanksgiving Day was interesting to say the least. We started the day with a nice cup of Chai and went about helping Missy with thanksgiving dinner preparations. Andrew and Damon got to play games a lot over the few days. We had a lovely early dinner with Lee’s parents and after diner many of Lee’s extended family came by for desert. It was kind of awkward for me because I really didn’t know many of them at all. I let Andrew hide upstairs. I did my best to fit in and follow along in conversations. To round out the evening we sat and watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on Lee’s giant 50 inch TV.

Friday we had quite a number of plans. We started out with lunch (yes, lunch) at Sonic. This was ½ because Andrew had never had Sonic before and ½ because Amy always wants sonic. Problem was, if you remember, Amy wasn’t with us. So to involve her we took many cell phone pictures and sent them to her so that she can enjoy Sonic as much as we did. (Yeah, she wasn’t that amused). After we finished off our Coney Specials, we headed to the theater to catch Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire. Overall it was a good movie, but very very very long. I think the movie started at 3pm and we got out at 5:45pm. Next stop was a little pub named McCreary’s in old town Franklin. We took the whole clan with us so they could get the chance to eat, but the overall feeling from them was that they wanted to go home. Missy was nice enough to take them back (with their fish and chips) so Lee and I could stay and have a few Ciders. They had what had to be double pint glasses of Woodchuck Cider on tap. It was glorious! We each had 2 and finished off Missy’s. Needless to say we were feeling quite happy. The sad part came when we decided to go home and drink some more while playing a little bit of WoW. Thankfully Saturday was a light day.

When I finally dragged myself from my bed and poured about a gallon of water into my stomach, I started feeling somewhat normal again. We took this opportunity to venture out to the local comic book shop. I have been searching for some past issues of stuff and thought a whole new state might have some of it. No big luck. We also did our gift exchange for Christmas. Lee was nice enough to go through all of his old Magic the Gathering cards and give some of them to Andrew. We rounded the evening out with lee and I going to TGI Fridays for dinner.

Sunday meant back on the road again. We started out at 6am this time and the trip sucked! We were on the road for a full 13 and ½ hours. We managed to stop a few times to stretch and rest and eat. The most memorable one was a small Antique store. They had an interesting stock of stuff. Most of it was Nascar, but I figured that was because of where we were. The last part of the trip was filled with the sound of yester-year as we found the Old Time Radio station on XM was playing The Adventures of Superman! This had to be from the 40s to 50s time frame. It was fun to listen to how dramatic the actors get. We got home and around 7:45pm and were thankful for it! Amy met us at the door with lots of hugs and I think I fell asleep early because I was wiped out.

There is one other surprise coming, but that will have to wait for the next post.

Ok, so apparently I haven’t been updating as much as I really should. Mostly that’s because of all the stuff I have going on. Ok, well, that’s not all that true either. I just haven’t gotten around to posting. The sad thing is, it’s not going to get better right now. The holidays are coming and there is a lot to do! Lets get you all caught up before that though.

Last Wednesday Amy and I decided to have a hooky day. We haven’t had all that much time with just her and I. She has her classes after work and I have been taking care of Andrew (and probably gaming a bit much). So we scheduled to have Wednesday off and just enjoyed the day. That is, until we realized that we had a bunch of errands to run. Isn’t that always the case? Amy had some paperwork to fill out and an eye appointment. I had some things I had to pick up at the store. So we did a lot of running around, but we did it together! Doesn’t that count? We did manage to get over to the comic store and pick up the latest batch of addiction. Amy is really hooked on Birds of Prey and Super-girl. Meanwhile, I have been getting more and more into my Green Lantern. I also have picked up a few of the latest Batman issues. Good timing too, it would seem that someone is back in play.

This weekend wasn’t all too terribly exciting. Saturday Andrew and I stayed home and did some more deep cleaning of the house. By the afternoon time we had the house looking great! Of course, I was feeling like crap again (I had caught a small head cold over the last few days). Andrew had a friend come over to do some homework and that’s about the time I handed things over to Amy and just went to lay down. Hooray! The migraine fairy has come to visit again! After a good medicine induced nap (read 2 ½ hours) I was feeling much better. So what do I do at this point? I game of course! Lee and I got in and ran a few missions to help him catch up in levels. I only did this until about midnight.

On Sunday the unprecedented happened. I woke up at around 8:30am. I know, I was amazed too! I just wasn’t tired so I woke up! We had a few plans set but I didn’t plan for anything that early. We mostly just curled up on the couch and watched some TV until around 10:30ish. After that we went out for some Christmas shopping and to get Andrew and new pair of shoes (he tears through them quick!) After all of that, we up and went out to Georgetown in DC. It’s actually a nice little shopping district with a few cool things to see. We walked along the canal there and also along the Potomac River walk. Paul met up with us and we visited two local comic book shops (go figure). I hope that very soon I will reach the point where I am caught up as far as stories go and can just go on the normal release schedule for comics. I have been buying a few Trade paperbacks to catch up on the current stories and that gets a little pricey if it keeps up. One book that I was happy to pick up was “Red Son.” It’s an Elsworlds title about Superman. The basic premise is what if Kal-L’s ship crash landed in the Ukraine on Joseph Stalin’s farm. Think about it, Superman is an “All American Hero.” What if he were suddenly a Communist Hero instead? It’s an excellent read and I suggest you go get it.

The next few days are going to be nucking futz. Andrew and I are taking a father son road trip down to TN to visit with Lee and family. This will start at Oh god early on Wednesday morning. This means an early night on Tuesday night, which means, everything needs to get packed up and ready tonight. The trip itself is going to be great fun though. With us leaving so early means that we will arrive fairly early in the evening. Granted that I will probably be pretty tired, it still gives us some time to recoup and visit. We will be there all day on Thursday, all day Friday, and all day Saturday. The drive back is scheduled for early Sunday morning. I know Lee has a lot of thing set that he wants to do so I am pretty sure that there will be lots of fun. If I get the chance to blog while I am there I will. If I don’t, Happy Turkey Day!!!
