I have been looking for my very own Cheers bar. The kind where everyone knows your name. (Although Brother K reminds me that none of the regulars in Cheers were female. How sexist!) I think I might have finally found it at Lily Mac’s on Murphy Street in Sunnyvale. I have visited three times. The [...]

Goodbye and Goodnight, Uncle George

Cousin C’s Surprise 40th Birthday Party

Overall, a nice wind-down to my overly long weekend trip. [...]

Afterwards, Disney World installed biometric scanners in conjunction with their ticket scanners. The scanners take a couple points and [...]

Thank you all for the wonderful messages I recieved on this Friday the 13th. You all are awesome! Now I have to remember to check Facebook birthdays more regularly. Out of all the messages, this one made me laugh out loud as I read it on the plane after touch down. I still don’t know [...]

River gods, part deux
As you can tell, I am now sending all post separate of photos. Grrrrrrr My new friends at the CBC told me to try River Gods. So, here I am, alone, on a Tuesday afternoon. A cute little Irish pub. Just me and the staff and my Guinness. Brother K is on his way to [...]

I am a sucker
Thank goodness I don't have kids. I can't say no. Shark Fan's dad should never have given us that extra cash. ;-)
