10 October 2004

Just got back from a week in Orlando, vacationing with the in-laws. So what did I do this week?

Sunday Flew down, and can now recommend JetBlue to one and all. Gawked at hurricane damage on the way from the airport to the timeshare. Got a tour of Celebration, Disney's planned community, when we got lost. It looks like a movie set - bigger houses on small lots.

Monday Lazed around, didn't do anything of note.

Tuesday Went to EPCOT, which is probably my favorite Disney park (which isn't saying all that much, I'm not a park fan generally). Had my own small world moment by running into old friend Cindy Demopoulos outside of the Mexico part of the park. Thankfully, it was without thousands of singing dolls as backdrop.

Wednesday Played golf with my father in law, which suggests a certain level of charity on his part. Two holes were under construction, which meant that I got to play my ball out of bulldozer tracks a few times. I'm sure there's a rule for that occasion, but damned if I know what it is.

Thursday Nothing.

Friday Took a small shopping trip that turned into a long march when a modular home got stuck on the highway that was also under construction. Wish I'd brought the camera.

Saturday Went to Sea World. It was OK. Didn't run into anyone I knew.

Sunday Came home, got to sit in the exit row and have it be only Sarah and me for the three seats in the row. So I had leg and hip room, which is pretty much impossible on coach flights for me. Good times.

It figures that you'd play golf in Florida (where Caddyshack was filmed) on the day that Rodney Dangerfield died. "Hey Smells! A hundred bucks says you slice into the woods!"

Oddly enough, on the multiple occasions when I hit the ball all of 20 yards, I'd think to myself, "that's a peach." But I'm sure whoever played that old couple are long since dead.

Mark,
You see Luke Rego down at Disney? I always wonder what happened to him.
