Jimmy Kimmel Live!: How We Nearly Became the New Mujibur & Sirajul
Sunday, January 6th, 2008
After our tour of the Hollywood Entertainment Museum on Tuesday, October 4, 2005, Jimmy and I decided to do some exploring around Hollywood Boulevard. When we stopped by the front of the Chinese Theater, we were offered free tickets to see the Jimmy Kimmel Show filming across the street. We only had a couple of hours to kill before they began letting us in at 7:00pm, with taping commencing at 8:00, so we grabbed a bite to eat at the Hollwood and Highland Center, where we opted for the French Crepe Company.

Spring Break in Colorado 1986
Thursday, December 6th, 2007
My one and only visit to date to the central section of our country occurred during our Spring Break from school, which lasted from March 22 – 30, 1986. My Mom, Denise, and I took advantage of our Spring break from school and flew out to Colorado to visit my aunt Darlene and uncle Bob for a few days at the end of the week. Although Dad was living back home again, he didn’t come with us. Most likely we had had the plans arranged before my parents reconciled. Darlene and Bob had lived in Colorado Springs for about two-and-a-half years at this point, Bob having been located there during his Army stint. I had always been very fond of Darlene and was really looking forward to the trip. Read the rest of this entry »
Our Last Day in Daytona Beach ’07: The Pool, the Beach, and Bubba Gump’s
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007
Our last day in Daytona Beach came on Friday, September 28. We had all had a nice, full week and decided to round it out with our traditional visit to the Daytona Beach flea market after a quick breakfast in the room. There is seldom much here for me at hillbilly central, but I was able to pick up a stack of DVD’s to add to my ever-growing collection. And of course, I sampled the fruit and had a soft pretzel. We were back at the condo by early afternoon, so I plopped onto the couch, watched some more TV on DVD and ate lunch while the others swam. Read the rest of this entry »
Thursday in Daytona Beach ’07: Swimming, Burgers, and Playing with Crablegs
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007
The laziness continued. There were only three distinct events which took place in my life on Thursday, September 27, 2007 and none were all that exciting on the surface. In between all of them was the standard laying around, munching on snacks, and watching TV shows on my little DVD player – ones that have been amply described in previous postings from this vacation. But these three occurrences will surely evoke fond memories of spending time with my family in Daytona Beach. Read the rest of this entry »
