Isn’t Life Strange?

After a grueling two-day drive through heavy rain and Thanksgiving traffic, I finally reached Disney’s All Star Music Resort at about 2 PM.
In the future, I’ll have to put better thought into making my first night’s dinner reservations. I really didn’t have much time to relax and get settled before it became […]

I got in the truck this morning and began making my way to Orlando. Tonight I am staying in a town called Quincy, just twenty miles west of Tallahassee.
The drive was not as pleasant as I had hoped. Rain spoiled most of it. If that wasn’t bad enough, I encountered […]

It’s that time again. After a year of waiting I am finally headed back to Orlando to visit the mouse.
As I have done so in the past, I’ll probably report my adventures here and post photographs for all to see. The frequency of reporting is yet to be determined. If […]

The long awaited expansion to the Lord of the Rings Online MMO was released last week. Titled “The Mines of Moria”, it’s not much of a challenge to figure out what parts of Middle Earth the good folks at Turbine had in store for us.
Before adventurers can explore the once great dwarf city, they […]

I found the following spoofs amusing. Someone must have had a lot of fun.

You’ve probably noticed an odd little pattern here over the past few days, as blog entries seem to either focus on The Moody Blues or anything Disney. A little variety may be in order. But not yet.
Hey, it could be worse than this. I could start ranting about politics. […]

Visitors to Walt Disney World have at their disposal several services designed to improve the quality of their vacations. One of these services is called Photopass. Strategically located throughout the parks, Disney photographers stand ready to take photos of visitors’ encounters with Disney characters or at scenic locations in the parks. All of […]

It’s hard to believe that at one time there was another version of The Moody Blues. Prior to the day that nineteen year old Justin Hayward joined the band and quickly penned “Nights in White Satin”, The Moody Blues had a completely different sound.
Take a look at this blast from the past […]

I’m getting more and more excited as time draws near my next pilgrimage to see the mouse.
As much as I enjoy the thrill rides and newer attractions at Walt Disney World, the original attractions that have roots back to Disneyland and other Walt Disney projects are no less fascinating or entertaining. Audio-Animatronic […]

Via Fox News…
Wildlife officials in northern California last week came across one of the biggest Chinook salmon ever found in the state — a monster more than 4 feet long and weighing 85 pounds.
I don’t know why, but monster fish caught in inland waters fascinate me. Read more and see a photo of the […]

In my search for more Moody Blues related videos on YouTube, I stumbled across a cover of a beautiful Moodies’ song, “New Horizons” performed by Paul Sonnenberg, a bossa nova artist living in Austin, Texas. You really can find good music everywhere.
Here’s his nicely performed cover of “New Horizons”

And here’s an original […]

Those who know me know that my favorite band in the entire world is The Moody Blues. It’s odd that in the two plus years I’ve been doing this blog that I have managed to avoid (unintentionally) writing anything about them. After all, the name of this little blog is a rip off […]
