The Terrible Catsafterme

I don’t feel too sad about wrapping up our great Myrtle Beach trip of ’06, because as this is being posted, I am currently well into another week in Myrtle Beach. We spent our last day, Friday, August 5, mostly at the Windy Shores condo. I mentioned earlier that this condo holds more great memories for me than the Links, because of some great trips I spent here in the late 80’s and the 90’s with Christi and Lisa (not at the same time!) – and Ashleigh when she was little.

The Landing itself is simply an outdoor shopping mall, with various attractions of distraction strategically planted around the complex. Read the rest of this entry »

Following our wonderful tour of the Disney Studios, it was now time to head over to NBC for the taping of The Tonight Show. Since Jimmy and I were required to wear jackets at The Magic Castle later that night, we foolishly decided to go ahead and wear the jackets to The Tonight Show. This was in hopes of getting better seats. Bob’s friend Michael had arranged for our tickets to be waiting, but the seats are not assigned until you enter the studio. Read the rest of this entry »
