Tower, This is Ghostrider Requesting a Flyby.
I see someone has already claimed this quote.
When I threatened to eat her hot dog, she had no reaction. I grabbed it and took a bite and I quickly understood why.
Worst hot dog ever.
It was just downright disgusting. I’m not sure why, but that thing was just nasty. We threw about $12 worth of hot dog in the trash.
Ugh. I remember when my parents would yell at me about not eating my vegetables and they'd say starving children in Asia would love to have them, and I would volunteer to donate them to a worthy cause.
We thought about spending some time at the zoo or some other places, but in the end we thought that USS Midway probably made the most sense for us from a cost perspective and for the amount of time we had.
Plus, aircraft carriers are awesome.
While we were there, I took my phone out of my pocket to take some pictures. It was off. Again. What the heck is going on???
I have no idea, but the NSA has some questions for you.
I mean he talked for a solid half hour about all the details and checks and balances that the flight crew goes through to launch a plane… only they run through that whole process about once a minute per catapult. Absolutely incredible.
When we got to the hotel, I told DW to take the kids to the room and I’d keep walking and go to the convention center to get registered. I really don’t remember what the conversation was at that point or why on Earth we did it this way, but she decided they’d just go with me. So here I am, still carrying DD. Somewhere around this point she fell asleep… so now I’m carrying her while she sleeps.
Sure...that makes sense.
DW offered to go look for some cereal for the kids to eat for breakfasts and said she’d just bring food back to the room. Since there was a Cheesecake Factory right next to the hotel that we could see from our window, it seemed to be calling our name.
Cheesecake for breakfast! Brilliant idea!
D'oh!
It rained on Sunday.
All day.
In Southern California.
Where they tell me it isn’t supposed to rain.
I would blame @franandaj for this.
Instead, he did a stand up routine.
And it was a stand up routine that quite frankly, was highly offensive and not all that funny.
People were getting up and walking out. It was bad enough that email apologies from higher ups in the organization were coming out the following week. They claim that they had had some discussions with him and he totally just went off script.
Wow...that's, uh, not much of an endorsement. I guess when you lose your fastball, you really lose it.
Some of you who have followed other TR’s of mine might remember mention of a phone that I destroyed because I had it in my pocket when I waded into the Gulf of Mexico a few years ago. This is the type of thing that just happens to me.
Usually due to a moment of stupidity on my part.
Hey, you said it, not me.
I figured I’d just carry it without the Otterbox until I got home, then I’d see about getting a new phone. Problem solved...
Tuesday morning we’d have some time to explore either some more of San Diego or the Anaheim area as we’d be moving from our beautiful San Diego hotel to the Grand Californian!
