Taking one for the team

We're in Florida for Christmas, and it surely does not feel like Christmas since the weather is overly pleasant for this time of year, although the humidity (currently 94%) is a deal breaker.

There are some times when the "dad" has to take hit for the team, and today would be one of those occasions. See, previously I would have not suspected that I would be making a blog post on Christmas day, yet here I am. I am here because my family is at DisneyWorld without me. The park was "filled to capacity" and so I didn't get in. But everyone else did. Meanwhile, I've done a couple loads of laundry, burnt an omelet, and have yearned for a nap, of which will probably not come. I'm just not big on naps; but this has slightly changed with my high-maintenance princess-in-training.

I suppose I cannot complain too much. After all, I've never been too keen on Disney anything. Buggs Bunny was more my style. Still, this is the day you're supposed to spend with family. And I know they plan to stay until the fireworks display. Maybe I'll take a dip in the pool, soak in the spa, and blame the water for those tears in my eye.

Oh Hero,

That's just about the saddest thing I've ever heard! I hope your nap worked out.

Hey Nate this is Travis of Salem fame. The tall one. Just wanted to say Hi and to tell you to keep up the good work. I started a blog too over at http://travisiam.blogspot.com/
It's a little on the vitriolic side right now, soon to be turned into a blog about puppies and slushies and such. :) Anyway, keep in touch. Oh, and buy guns, lots of guns! Obama is coming, Obama is coming!
