Flashback... 1999
No cool pics for April 3rd 2009, so a flashback to 10 years ago. This was taken in Orlando, Florida while vacationing in Disney World with the family. This was also around shot number 200-something taken with my first digital camera. I shot it at 640×480, but could’ve (and should’ve) shot everything at 1600×1200 (the full 2 MegaPixels). I didn’t know any better. LOL.
Shot with a Nikon Coolpix 950 and post-processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.3.

Art, Vacation, Vermont

Ironically, one of my favorite pics from our “leaf peeping” weekend in Vermont doesn’t have any leaves in it.

Family, Travel, Vacation

I finally got some much needed R & R on my vacation this past week. Although most of the week was overshadowed by Hurricane Katrina and the relief efforts, there were a few highlights:
New York City
- American Museum of Natural History
- Central Park / Tavern on the Green
- Walking 45 blocks in the rain
Crayola Factory Store
- We didn’t get to see the factory, due to a power outage
- World’s largest crayon — 1,500 lbs.
Sturgis Pretzel Factory (America’s Oldest)
- We rolled our own pretzels, but weren’t allowed to bake them (the law)
- Best soft pretzel I’ve had in a long time
Hershey Park
- Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate
- Storm Runner roller coaster (zero to 72 MPH in 2 seconds!)
- The Train, Monorail, Train, Monorail, Train, Monorail…
- Ruby and Little Joe (a late night wrong number on my RAZR)
- Remy Martin (who kicked my ass)
Misc
- Backyard BBQ’s
- Personal battles with SATA hard disk drivers
- $3.59 per gallon for gas
- Sean Penn’s relief boat sinks
And last, but not least:
- Seeing my kid laugh and smile the whole week and early confirmation of a special package that’s due to arrive in April 2006.

Humor, Vacation

In the spirit of Overheard in New York, my wife and I overheard this (while waiting in line at Chocolate World) at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania:
Man: All this chocolate stuff is great, but I really don’t even care for Hershey chocolate.
Woman: I know, me too. I wonder if there’s a “Godiva Park” somewhere.
