Ten years ago tonight, my twin daughters, Katrina Marie and Lauren Elizabeth, were born. It had not been an easy journey. I married my wife when I was twenty-five years old (she a year younger) and for the next five years we enjoyed being newlyweds. We were DINKS (double income no kids) and did pretty …

If I Was Ruler of the World….
If I was Ruler of the World, there would be changes. Sure, I'd insist on peace on Earth, goodwill towards man, stop all wars, end world hunger. You know, all the big ones. But there are other things I'd change you might not think of. The first thing I'd do is eliminate the penny. I …

Disney Travel Log: Tips and Tricks
A quick note about the drive home: we made it. We did have another Wendy's adventure. We found one quick enough this time and we only waited in line for a few minutes. But Katy, trying to be helpful, carried a tray back to the table for me and spilled one of the drinks all …
Disney Travel Log Day 7: The Beach Bummer
Thursday, our last full day in Orlando, was supposed to be the relaxing day. After four frantic and fun filled park excursions, we would plant our chairs at the edge of the ocean and spend the day soaking up rays while the children built sand castles and searched for sea shells. But someone forgot to tell …
Disney Travel Log Day 6: Magic Mahem
We saved Magic Kingdom for our last park visit, wanting to go out with a bang. The forecast called for a seventy percent chance of rain, but with ponchos in hand (in bag actually) we caught our bus and the merry band of travelers were off. We started by passing through the Disney Castle and …
Disney Travel Log Day 5: The Hollywood Hustle

Disney Travel Log Day 3: The Animal Adventure
No post about actually going to the parks at Disney World would be complete without a huge thank you to our friend, Connie Ison, who helped to plan our days at the park in such a way as to increase enjoyment and decrease exasperation. On Monday, we rounded up the kids, loaded down the adults …
