Dec 21 - Winter Solstice

December 21, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals.  And it is now the first day of winter, and the reason for the season.  The beginnings of the celebration of the winter solstice.  Let's all celebrate.

Been an interesting week as I've walked into the office everyday and had crashed servers.  UGH!!!  Tired of this happening but soon will alleviate it.  Yay for me!!!

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of spending the last Veterans free admission at Knott's Berry Farm.  I love how they do that and support the military.  Too bad Disney doesn't follow suite and do that too.  But I guess that would take away too much money from them and being able to fill their stockholders pockets and making sure the CEO is well paid.  Forget those who have done something.  But I digress...I rode my favorite roller coasters at the park and closed it out.  Was a nice cool nice and I was pleased.  Sunday, I used my free pass to Sea World San Diego, my favorite city by the way, and got to experience their Manta.  It's a Mack coaster and it's decent.  Nothing too great or amazing but it was a good ride with a few nice air time spots.  The park itself isn't that great.  Very small and not a whole lot to do.  Sea World Orlando is a better park with more rides and things to do. 

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!

Until a longer day...

Dec 8th - Lizard King

December 8, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals.  Just want to start out by saying Happy Birthday to the Lizard King, Jim Morrison.  A mesmerizing person who left us way too soon.

Been a busy week so far...what's new there?  But at least tomorrow is Friday, so we got that going for us...which is nice.  Also moving towards the end of another year.  Can't believe this year is almost over.  Flew by.  Lots of changes and events happened this year and I'm hopefully better for experiencing them and going through what I h...

Dec 1st - Hello December

December 2, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals.  Here we are at the beginning of December now.  How about that?  Seems this year has flown by and before we know it, it will be 2017.  Let's try to enjoy this last month as much as possible.

Not really a whole lot going on as I've still been busy with work and not much else.  Gonna try to slow down a little bit here as Christmas is upon us.  Have a lot of shopping already done so I got that going for me...which is nice.  The weather has been perfect here.  In fact, t...

Nov 17th - Crazy busy times

November 17, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals!!!  I cannot believe it's been over a month since I've updated this.  It's been super crazy busy times this past month as things have been escalating, increasing and more things have been placed on my plate.  It's all good though, from Diego to the Park.  Busy is good.

So, in between my posts, a couple of things have happened to brief upon.  Back to October 20th, went to Knott's Scary Farm and had a great night.  Got a chance to ride Ghostrider after it had been down ...

Oct 12th - Whew!!!

October 12, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals.  Wow!  What can I say?  It's been a few weeks since my last update and no I haven't been slacking, been busy as all at work.  Lots of things going on there.  In a matter of a week, had my team cut by 50% and my workload increased.  Long days have been commonplace and all craziness has been multiplied.  Needless to say, I can handle it.  No worries!!!

October has been flying by and we're almost half over.  Ugh!!!  Slow down.  I love this time of year and haven't been ...

Sep 26th - First blog of Fall

September 27, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals!!!  Welcome to the first Fall blog.  I know.  What happened?  Been busy with lots of things going on all over this thing called life.  Fast and Furious as well as insane in the membrane.

Well, I say this as the first Fall blog but these past couple of days have seen the temp rise up into triple digits.  Was actually 106 here today.  WTH???  We do not like that.  No sir indeed.  We like waking up and feeling the crisp air and also the evening cooler temps.  More to do ...

Sep 14th - Action!!!

September 15, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals.  Hope all is well in the world with everyone today.

Had to write about my experience yesterday.  Spent the day at Universal Hollywood and had a great time.  While the park isn't that big and doesn't have a whole lot of attractions, it was still pretty cool and the day was perfect.  Not crowded at all and the weather was just as perfect.  Maybe 70 degrees.

First place hit was Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.  This one is in 3-D, unlike Orlando, and I while I rea...

Sep 1st - Hello September, goodbye August

September 1, 2016
Greetings foolish mortals.  I can't believe we're here now in September.  Summer is almost behind us and my favorite time of the year is almost here too.  I do wish I was going to be able to go to Epcot for the Food and Wine festival but right now, it looks doubtful.  But...who knows???

Been a busy time for the BBP and this week has been no exception.  Lots to do, lots to plan and much more to get into motion.  I still also need to get my photos from Europe, which I left almost a year ago, ont...
