Yo Ho Yo Ho

I so want to go to Disneyland. Why? Because I'm sold out? Because I'm overly nostalgic? Because I'm caught in the web of youth reclamation which can never be satiated? Because Disneyland kicks but? Yes.

Anyway, great article hear at Mice Age and you should so check it out.




I think my biggest issue is knowing I won't be able to go for a couple of years until my kids are old enough to go again and we can save up to stay at the resort. I can't stay off property anymore, it just isn't the same.

Cheers!

Great Podcasts on Byzantium

http://www.anders.com/lectures/lars_brownworth/12_byzantine_rulers/

Check out the above podcast. Very cool if you are interested in informative and entertaining look back at a much misunderstood time in history. The Byzantine Empire was every bit a foundation for the western civilization we live in today. I dig it and went through all of the current podcasts rather quickly. I'm waiting for the next one to be published. According t0 the website, the author Lars Brownworth teaches at The Stony Brook School, a private boarding High School located on Long Island's North Shore approximately 50 miles East of New York City.

Last week my family came into town from Tucson to help repair our back porch. It was a long HOT day and they did a great job. We have to continue next week with final repairs. I'm hoping a monsoon doesn't roll into town that day.

Here you see my uncle Jim setting the post holder for the last replacement post. This end of the porch is being held up temporarily with a 2X4.
