Like a magnet, we ventured to Disney for the night. We had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. I had a great crab cake sandwich. It was fun walking around. There are a fair amount of tourists here. I was surprised since school is back in session… Something you would never think given the number of kids here. The weather is still holding…
Hello Celebration
I arrived in Orlando with a pretty smooth flight, a little early actually. The airport was not crowded and the rental car pickup was fast. I chose a Chevy HHR. It’s a neat car that kind of reminds me of a PT Cruiser as a station wagon. It seemed so much more fun than the other boring mid-sized cars. Celebration was a short drive, just…
Do you remember where you were?
Today is September 11; the 5th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World trade Center, the Pentagon and America. Do you remember where you were when you heard the news? The only other event that comes close to this for me was when President Kennedy was assassinated. I was riding the school bus home when at a stop a parent came out of her…
Ace of Cakes Rocks!
We love the new Food Network show, The Ace of Cakes. OK, Duff is a cute bear but the show is so, so cool. It’s refreshing to see a Food Network show where the censor has to bleep things out.

Summer 2006 is history
Labor Day Weekend ends summer here in Ohio. As is usual, it rained and cooled down for the holiday. We had a busy weekend. Our pals, Keith and Al from Chicago, flew in for the weekend. We met them on our Hawaiian cruise. I have chatted with Keith for years. They are quite a nice couple. We had a great weekend showing them NE Ohio….
Unjust Recent ELCA Action
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted some thoughts about the Church and the inclusion of GLBT people. So, excuse me going off in a long post. A few weeks ago Pr. Brad Schmeling of Atlanta was charged to be in violation of ELCA “Definitions and Guidelines for Discipline for Ordained Ministers” and asked to resign as pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church due…
Blue’s Clues Sighting in Tallmadge
I must have been crazy… 85, sunny and very hot today and here I am! It’s a sad commentary that the costume fit me perfectly. LOL Of course, I get to go home with Joe for some more exploring 😉
