Fractured left wrist and a radial fracture on my right elbow. Need volunteers to pull up my shorts and underwear, twist open my toothpaste, apply deodorant under my left arm (I can make it on the right side), and pull down my shirt. With the meds, haven't had to experience going to the 🚽 yet :(.

December 28, 2016 at 04:42PM

Lunchtime bike ride to the mailbox resulted in trip to the ER. I'm ok. Fractured left wrist and radial fracture on right arm/elbow. They are talking about surgery. Not how I wanted to start the new year.

Excited to discover my meyer lemon tree by the pool is blooming

Since we all know the holidays are all about the Doctor Who Christmas special, I can't remember where we stand after the last episode. Clara's dead/not dead but flying around in her own TARDIS with GOT girl. What about the Doctor?

December 25, 2016 at 03:17PM

December 25, 2016 at 09:33AM

Just fell fully clothed (including shoes) into the pool while trying to remove Christmas lights off the palm tree. Throwing my bathing suit on and relaxing for the rest of the day. Merry Christmas everyone.

Woman, I really don't need to know that your children are heathens and savages. I got that. Pick them off the floor in the middle of the isle and put them on a leash and a muzzle.

Highlights for me from this weekend: 1. Scavenger hunt through Epcot searching for Walt's missing left testicle with Christina. It's not in Spaceship Earth, I checked. 2. Dinner at Monsieur Paul's with the Mousechat podcasters 3. Introduction of absinthe to my regular diet thanks to Franklyn. Also be sure to check out Abracadabar at Disney's Boardwalk while searching for Walt's missing testicle. 4. Steve and Jaime Pressman's Favorite Things party, which will probably be the highlight this holiday season. 5. Shoegate 2016. I've got your goods Jeremy, and they are well hidden from Travis (seek help for your fetish before you hit rock bottom). 6. Angie's nectar of the god's horchata and cinnamon whiskey 7. House/spouse swap with Chris. Bring it on! Angie and I will fill our evenings with sweet horchata.

Dad is out of surgery and according to the nurse doing fine. Supposedly a nail in the rod came out, which they removed and replaced.

November 17, 2016 at 08:03AM

To all my facebook family members out there, Dad is going into surgery today to hopefully repair the broken metal rod in his leg. Had to be at the hospital at 5am this morning. Will give updates once we hear anything.

The official Florida state sport - electric flyswatter badminton. At lunch today I was eating outside when a big ass spider started to crawl up the pool screen beside me. Before anyone starts lecturing me that they are cute and friendly and eat other bugs...WHATEVER! I electrocuted that bastard three times and it was still attacking me. Ended up using the racket as a club, which was far more effective.

Large George Nelson saucer arrived today. Could barely get it through the door it's so big. Pictures will follow once installed in the "formal dining room"...never thought I would be one of those people with a separate dining room which we will never use.

Universal Studios...7 haunted houses, 3 possibly 4 rides (it all blends together now). Hands down the highlight for me was the Harry Potter Land. Theming on a level far above anything else I have ever seen. Sorry Disney. The frozen butter beer alone is worth the price of getting an annual pass.

Internet/Cable out. Power keeps on fluctuating on and off.

October 07, 2016 at 08:27AM

Hey y'all. Doing good here. Still have power (knock on wood). It started to get bad here early this morning around 5:30/6am. Pool screen still up, but the new landscaping is starting to topple over. The ground is getting so saturated and the winds have been unrelenting.

September 21, 2016 at 09:44AM

So back in April for Earth Day at Animal Kingdom Reg came home with some sad looking twigs for me. Needless to say I didn't think much of them. But with the move to Florida in January I had to give up all my potted plants, so I was willing to give these 3 plumeria twigs a chance. Also, while in Galveston my Mom and her neighbor gave me some plumeria cuttings as well. So we just got back from Hawaii and ALL my cuttings are doing crazy great and we officially have our first bloom on one of the plants today. It is also our 6 year wedding anniversary ). We have been together now for 15 years. Thank you for the past wonderful 15 years, and also for the twig you brought back from Disney.

Vacation to Oahu has officially ended. Got back today at 6am after traveling all day and night. Don't think I've ever been so exhausted. Had a blast the entire week, even though I never saw the smoke monster from Lost or found a cursed tiki like the one Bobby unearthed when the Brady's went to the island (all I could find is tikis made in the Philippines).

September 14, 2016 at 08:44PM

Did my first wreck dive, and I think it was the deepest I ever went down - 90 feet. Didn't go so well for me. Was too preoccupied with the GoPro that I didn't equalize well. Nose bleed and nausea quickly set in. Ended up sitting out the second dive for the day.

September 14, 2016 at 02:22PM

Off on my first official dive since getting certified

September 09, 2016 at 10:12PM

Great evening running around Disney Springs with Donavin and Ame. I've decided on two things. One, you should both move to Florida and be my neighbors next door. Two, Donavin you need to give me your Apple shirt. Make this happen.

September 08, 2016 at 10:25AM

I grew up watching the original Star Trek, which to this day is still my favorite. Even had Trek bedsheets on my twin sized bed when I was young (which I still have in a box someplace. My mother never throws out anything). Trek, Ultraman, and Doctor Who. My Trek love got trampled to death once I discovered Doctor Who.

September 08, 2016 at 07:40AM

Yes, I'm going to get the iPhone 7. As much as I didn't care for the screen size of the 6+, I'm leaning more towards the 7+ due to the dual cameras. iWatch 2...yes, I am going to get it. Destroyed my other one swimming with it every day since moving to Florida. Water resistant does not mean water proof. I get that now.

Tuesday, September 06, 2016

September 06, 2016 at 05:26PM

So with the upcoming trip to Disney's Aulani, I decided to buy one of those GoPro cameras for our dive. Obviously I need to figure this damn thing out more (perhaps reading the directions). First official test on the Brompton riding around our construction plagued neighborhood.

Moring was spent buying a new grill, then putting said grill in my tiny GTI (major effort). Then super awesome dear friend Christopher cooked and brought over Egyptian food for the new grill. Incredible meal with lots of quality time outside in the pool. It was a great day.

For your consideration....is it really racist to not call out #blacklivesmatter at Disney's Animal Kingdom when picking up your Starbuck's latte? How appropriate is it to send your 10 year old kid to do this?

July 15, 2016 at 02:16PM

With the move to Orlando I had to give up all my DC plants since the movers wouldn't transport them. For Earth Day Reginald brought me some plumeria cuttings from Animal Kingdom which are all doing great. Now obsessed with this plant. Thinking they will look great by the pool.

So in the 80's I was never a big Culture Club fan. I was more into Simple Minds/Duran Duran camp. But...I must say that Boy George puts on one hell of a show. Highlights was hands down his version of Ziggy's Starman and Bolan's Bang a Gong.

Are rolling power blackouts aren't a common occurrence here in Windermere? Starting the day off with no power. Not just our building or complex, out our section of the power grid. It's only 7am and already warm in the apartment.

Hey friends and family. Reg and I were very fortunate to have met the owners of Sugar Daddy Bakery here in Orlando. They are really dear friends. This is a great way to help out the staff and families at the Orlando Regional Medical Center http://ift.tt/28R8c0z

June 20, 2016 at 04:42PM

Ran across a giant turtle crossing the road while walking the dogs. When I say "giant", he was about Tucker's size. I stood back to make sure he made it across the road (and I didn't want him attacking me). A woman in a car drove by, stopped, picked him up, and walked him over to the lake. Felt like such a wussey...seriously, it was BIG http://ift.tt/28LNy0I

Friday, June 17, 2016

June 17, 2016 at 09:14AM

It's been a rough week. I reached a level of depression and frustration which had me turning everything off. The news and social media were just too much to take with the loss of so many people to the gay and Orlando community, a community which I am now a part of. I just couldn’t handle seeing the final texts of a son to his mother minutes before he is killed. I don’t want to hear your endless debates over your right to buy weapons. I don't care if it was terrorism, a hate crime or whatever... people were killed and it was by an American. I don't want to hear all insanity, because we should be better than this. I just turned it all off. It’s easy for me to do. Too easy, but you feel so dead inside. Today reminded me why I love social media so much. Family, friends, geeks, friends of friends, people I haven't even met but share the same passions with, thank you. I really do love and appreciate the wonderful birthday wishes. Keep watching Doctor Who, geek out, ride a bike, visit the mouse, love something with a passion, be nice to everyone, accept our differences, and please vote Clinton (sorry, had to throw that one in).

Monday, June 13, 2016

June 13, 2016 at 04:27PM

So this bike is parked across the street by the lake where we walk the dogs. It is parked in a parking spot in the same place for the past two weeks. Unlocked. Not vandalized. I've seen the owner making loops around the lake. It's not a great bike, but it is still used. This would never happen in DC. This bike would be stripped down to the frame within minutes or completely stolen. This makes me happy with living here in Orlando. I need to focus on the positive right now.

Sunday, June 12, 2016

June 12, 2016 at 07:21PM

Officially now dive certified. I sure don't feel like celebrating. First time being able to log online since this early morning. Have a three hour drive ahead of me and this state sickens me with gun stands and anti-abortion billboards all along the highway.

Dive today went much better than expected. Had a blast with no panic attacks over the mask. It was beautiful at Blue Grotto. Thanks to all the great instructors and fellow trainees. Tomorrow we head out into the open waters of West Palm Beach. Seriously, I am ready for bed. Can barely keep my eyes open

Just booked my airfare and tickets for L.I. Who last night. Curious, who else is planning on going?

June 10, 2016 at 09:24AM

Yesterday we had our pre-dry wall construction meeting at the new house. It was tedious, but productive going over every socket, switch, cable, and A/C vent in the entire house. It looks like we are now going to close on July 28th, if all goes as planned (which I have no doubt SOMETHING will pop up to throw a wrench into the process).

Seriously, I have been loving all the incredible photos everyone has been posting at Mega/Awesome/SpaceCity Super Ginormous Geek Cons over the past couple of days. Would have loved to be there, but I'm quickly discovering that I have a very low tolerance for crowds and queing up in epic lines (Disney included). While I might not have the opportunity to ever meet Capaldi, Smith, Tennant, or any other new Who stars, I'm very happy sticking to smaller low-key conventions. Gally is my home and has my heart. I miss Baltimore's (Re)Generation Con, even after only attending it the first year. Also, going to try L.I. Who for the first time this year, which I've heard nothing but great things about it. Hope to see my Gally friends there soon.

Happiest of birthdays to the love of my life, best friend, and partner in crime (when I can talk him into it). Love you Reginald.

First day of scuba class in the pool. Passed the swimming test and didn't have an anxiety attack with all the gear on underwater. Struggling to move and stay awake at the moment. Thanks to Christopher for all the help and support.

Got stuck beside two small children traveling alone on the flight back. One is determined to teach me all about football. His favorite team is the Saints. The other one is sleeping on my shoulder. This is some evil karma for my previous comments about the Cincinnati kid and the gorilla.

Monday, May 30, 2016

May 30, 2016 at 03:07PM

Why isn't the news focusing on how this child was able to get into the gorilla enclosure in the first place? The parents should be held accountable for this stupidity.

Watched the excellent film adaption of J. G. Ballard's High-Rise last night. When did adult dystopian sci-fi get replaced with YA drivel? It was refreshing to see adults behaving horrible without any pretty angst teenagers in site.

Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, I now know "Scott Baio joins a long list of Hollywood supporters for Trump, including Jon Voight, Ted Nugent, Aaron Carter, Kid Rock, Stephen Baldwin and Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson." WOW... those are some movers and shakers in Hollywood! http://ift.tt/1U5vA7Y

3:30pm - Time for Orlando's daily thunderstorm which will last 10 to 20 minutes, then sunny and humid again. How's DC's glorious spring season going?

May 19, 2016 at 09:45AM

Remember that scavenger hunt that I did on Saturday at Epcot? The scores of all the teams just came out. It's sad. Real sad. Out of a possible score of 650 points, we scored 295. There were six teams below us and 47 teams with higher scores.

After yesterday's all day/night scavenger hunt, I swore I wasn't going to step foot on Disney property for a couple of months. Now I'm hearing reports that the new Disney Springs expansion is open and looks incredible. DAMN!!!!

Great dinner and evening running around Epcot with Donavin, Ame, and Adrian. Donavin, buy your wife a princess magic band! She is fabulous and deserves it!

Someone is in serious need of their first trip to the groomers

Dear friends and family. As of now, Fishbowl does not give us unlimited vacation time off. As much as I would love to spend quality time with you, I am not taking PTO to run around a theme park whenever you are on your vacation. Will happily meet you after work or on the weekends. Again, it is your vacation, have fun! Please go to Disney or Universal and have a blast. Between the move to Orlando, the new house, and spending time with my family I only have so many days to take off each year.

Sorry for the lack of gushing over the new Who companion. Still feeling sick from all the doughnuts I ate this morning from THE DOUGHNUT KING!!!! Lewis, was this palace of delights on your recommendation list? If so, I hate you right now. Crashing from all the sugar.

Dear furniture salespeople - like car sales people, you should be available if I have a question or need something, and then magically invisible the rest of the time. The moment you start following me around is the moment I leave. I'm not stealing a sectional couch or dining room table.

God I hate HATE HATE searching for a new gym. It's like I'm dealing with used car sales people (sorry Kamael and Tami). Also, it doesn't help that Vida Fitness in DC set a rather high fab bar which Orlando is nowhere near. Yes I know gyms don't have to be beautiful, but it certainly helps motivate me. Tami - went to two gyms today and none of them even knew of reformer...sigh... I miss DC.

April 04, 2016 at 02:48PM

Now this is what I was hoping for since day one.

April 04, 2016 at 09:38AM

Highlights of the weekend with Hurricane Who Parradox was getting to finally meet Lewis Bailey, Dan Harris, and Jennifer MacDonald Comstock in person. Also met awesome new friends Jeremy Ciavarra and Christopher Michael Westfall. Oddly, the weekend had very little to do with Doctor Who.

Wednesday, March 30, 2016

March 30, 2016 at 01:20PM

So a woman today offered me $500 bucks for Tucker while out for his mid-afternoon constitutional. After I politely said that he wasn't for sale, she proceeded to tell me that she had a heart attack last week and needed him to lower her heart rate. Again, I said no and she offered $700. At that point I got really annoyed and said that I could care less if she had a heart attack and was dying, she wasn't going to have my dog. Her son standing beside us didn't seem to like that comment. Came back inside and Tucker immediately crapped inside the house.

March 30, 2016 at 09:43AM

March 25, 2016 at 12:13PM

Why do people keep going to this Superman Batman movie and need to say that they have zero expectations? Do you not have better things and more worthy franchises to spend your money on? Why go to something that you have no enthusiam over? Comon geeks, you can do better than this. Your time and money is important. Spend them both wisely.

Thursday, March 24, 2016

So Vero Beach... it's a beauiful resort, very issolated and quiet. Had it not been for Michael and David Mancini, it would have been a dull time. Saw no sea turtles. Think the staff sacrific small children late at night at the bon fire (s'mores WHATEVER) to the great sea turtle god so that he might return and bring back properity to the ocean front property again. http://gph.is/1hCNoYs?tc=1 via @giphy

March 07, 2016 at 08:33AM

Both Reg and I really like the name Tucker, and it fits for him. Thank you Tony Tucker for that suggestion. Not sure why he is so tired considering he slept all night and has been a holy terror all morning attacking my feet.

So I realize I didn't mention (because I didn't want to jinx it) that the house in DC is under contract. If all goes well closing is scheduled for March 7th. Reginald and I are extremely happy, both with the offer and the entire process. Much thanks and gratitude to Lisa Ling and the entire team with Evan & Mark Coldwell Baker. Finally much thanks goes to Tami who initally recommended Lisa to me. I really miss our Saturday and Monday pilates reformer classes with you.

Must have angered the geek gods. My original 2001: A Space Odyssey one sheet movie poster which I've had on my wall since I was a teenager just feel and shattered the glass frame. The movie poster was also damaged.

So the only place I know to get my haircut here in Florida is at the barbershop on Main Street at the Magic Kingdom. Now that I live here, do I have to find a normal barber?

February 02, 2016 at 03:34PM

Back when I lived in Austin in my CRAZY TWENTIES, I got a DWI. Went out to celebrate one evening after seeing the new (at the time) Mission Impossible movie that had just came out. Video footage of the field sobriety test showed me singing the theme song to the movie while stumbling along the side of the road. This was also played in court as evidence. Spent 13 hours in jail and it was the most humiliating experience of my life. Countless hours of community service and thousands of dollars spent on fines, fees and lawyers, please listen to me and Helen. Don’t drink and drive.

January 22, 2016 at 07:56AM

Such crazy extravagance! The Starbucks has a drive thru! You can make a scheduled appointment online for your visit to the DMV. Grocery store baggers at Publix don't accept tips. This is all very disorienting.

I might need to do some serious thinking over the packing when this just just my work stuff. Perhaps we can ship Albee...

Ok, that was harder than expected.

One of the gifts which I received from my coworkers is this tardis keyring. Just discovered it has a secret compartment in the bottom for small items. If this was the late 80's/early 90's and I was considerably younger, I would assume this was for your daily multi-vitamin.

Dear fellow coworkers with Fishbowl. Thank you. It was tough not crying today. Will miss you and DC so much. The road trip care package is super awesome. Big hugs to Nicholas, Lore, Peyton, Mandy, Luciana, Niki, Brandon, Dara, Kelly, Donavin, Zach, and Andrew (who is still not on Facebook) and Lilly. Please forgive me if I forgot anyone.

Probably one of the most professional and dedicated workers at Fishbowl who always searches for answers. Luciana, you will be missed. I regret not going to your hookah parties.

I think Nicholas needs to work on the distribution list before hitting send.

Three drinks at Bear Happy Hour last night and my head is killing me today. Think Christopher and Ken are both too old for late night shenanigans, but Stephen and I are still spring chickens. Headache is from my youthful appearance.

Note to self. Wearing a cap into work will result in some pretty serious hat hair. Feeling rather Hemmingway Old Man and the Sea-esque

Said I wouldn't get teary eyed and melancholy, so I'm blaming it on the alcoholic eggnog drink concoction which went down way too easy. I miss Christopher James De Simone and Stephen Schreiner horribly already. They were the first people Reginald and I met when we moved to DC thirteen years ago. They have been the best and dearest friends and will always be family. Thank you for always being there for us. Chris, the C&O Canal path is always waiting for another bike ride. The day you are up for going all the way to Pittsburg and back, let me know.
