Not counting today, Patrick, Joe, Travis, Paul and I head to Disneyland in 24 days!

Well, I am now home. I get an early release from work and came home an hour early. Why? Simply put, things were slow today and it didn’t make sense for me to stay till my out time. So I picked up my new Honda Element. For those that don’t know, I had my 1993 Accord since I started driving in 1999 when we got it from my Grandma. The Accord was a great car and was perfect for me at the time but, almost 12 years later, the car was in need for some work on it and it was time to get a new one before it would cost us more money. I also am a guy on the move and I really don’t know how long I will be at my current place before moving again. The Element just made sense for me. Thank you again Mom and Dad! Pictures to come soon.

He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant women. He grew up in still another villafe, where he worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty. Then for three years he was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family or owned a house. He didn’t go to college. He never visited a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place where he was born. He did none of the things one usually associated with greatness. He had no credentials but himself. He was only thirty-three when the tide of public opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. He was turned over to his enemies and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross, between two thieves. While he was dying, his executioners gambled for his clothing, the only property he had on Earth. When he was dead, he was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. Twenty centuries have come and gone, and today he is considered by many to be the central figure of the human race and the leader of mankind’s progress.

All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man on Earth as much as that one solitary life.

The Walt Disney World Resort is still closed for today. Our friend Frances started hitting here at 2:30 this morning. So far we have a lot of wind but not too much rain. We are expected to report to work as usual tomorrow though. Not much to do today. Our internet has been knocked out so I am posting this via T-Mobile and my mobile phone. No word on when that will be back online. I’ll keep posting if I get a chance.

Well, our unexpected visitor is fast (or slowly rather) approaching her arrival. I am now riding the storm out in my Disney apartment. I was originally going to go to a friends house but it is advised that we stay in our company housing as it will have power, phone and water due to the Disney network. My coworker Brandon has moved in to my place for the next two nights as all his roommates are either on ride-out crews at work or out of town. The outer rings of the hurricane are expected to begin hitting us at 10 AM Saturday and will continue till Sunday at 10 AM. The Walt Disney World Resort is closed on Saturday and possibly Sunday as well. I am now off to finish packing up some photos and valuables so I can at least keep them away from the windows just in case. So until the next time I can post, I am going to be weathering 80+ MPH winds. Batten down the hatches!

Well, for those that haven’t seen, Hurricane Frances is on its way to the Walt Disney World Resort for a little vacation it seems. I am putting all updates to this site on suspension until further notice. Chances are I will be on ride out again and we are not sure how severe the damage will be. All I know is that this storm is larger than the state of Texas and is almost a Category 5 and will soon pass that. Until then, batten down the hatches!

Due to Hurricane Charlie and my deployment to the Magic Kingdom resorts, my goodbye post will be delayed until tomorrow pending the storm.
