Cold, Celtic Thunder, Fantastic Four & Jogging
Saturday , 31, January 2015 Comic Books, Health, Movies, Music Comments Off on Cold, Celtic Thunder, Fantastic Four & JoggingI’m finally beginning to feel human again, after a week of whatever this cold/flu illness was that I had.

Throwback Thursday – Disney-MGM Studios In 2007
Thursday , 29, January 2015 Throwback Thursday Comments Off on Throwback Thursday – Disney-MGM Studios In 2007Today’s Throwback Thursday is from January 27, 2007 when my daughter and two oldest grandchildren, Mikey and Heather, visited the Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World. A year later, on January 7, 2008, the park would be renamed Disney Hollywood Studios.
I woke up with a nasty cold Saturday morning. It was to be expected as we had watched Abby a couple of days last week when she could not go to daycare because of a cold she had. Granddad just had to share. We did our usual thing Saturday morning of getting up early to […]
Throwback Thursday – EPCOT
Thursday , 22, January 2015 Throwback Thursday Comments Off on Throwback Thursday – EPCOTSix years ago this week Cindy and I were at EPCOT with Jeremy and Wendy having a great time.

Happy 5th Birthday, Jade!
Saturday , 17, January 2015 Family Comments Off on Happy 5th Birthday, Jade!My youngest granddaughter, Jade, was born on this date in 2010. We’re thankful for technology like Skype that has let us see and talk to her at her home in San Antonio every couple of weeks over the past year. Here’s a photo of me holding her when she was an infant. Happy Birthday Jade! […]
Favorite Comic Book Covers – Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane #81
Friday , 16, January 2015 Comic Books Comments Off on Favorite Comic Book Covers – Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane #81This issue is cover dated February 1968 which means it was actually released in December 1967, as most comic books were cover dated 2 months in advance of their publication. So let’s get the first and most obvious thought out of everyone’s mind; it was NOT the possible death of Lois Lane that attracted me […]
Could You Live Without Wi-Fi?
Friday , 16, January 2015 Technology Comments Off on Could You Live Without Wi-Fi?The presence of wi-fi and what it makes available to our electronic devices, and thus to us, is pretty ubiquitous. If you have it in your home you take it for granted and when you are out and about you generally assume that you will find a free wi-fi signal somewhere (ignoring the security concerns) […]
