are we still having fun?

YEP, still here. YEP, still not sure what i'm doin', but i'm OK with that. Never really cared much about technolegy, (or how to spell it) and having this BLOG reminds me why. I'm easily confused and frustrated with computers, video games, cell phones... things with buttons or keys. Call me simple or an idiot or what you want (like my teachers did in high skool) just don't call me to help hook your X-BOX to your T.V. or program a GPS. I was excited about the idea of having a place to show some fun pictures or link to other sites with cool videos that my (techno geek) friends make. BUT, i've lost the pictures I tried to pull off the camera and I don't know how to LINK to other sites yet. I think i'm gonna see my 10 year old nephew this weekend so i'm hopeing he can help me figure this all out. So there you have it. If anyone does look at this, you must be as bored as me, maybe there will be something to look at next week. Till then... go outside and do something!

Disney World is Cold

So... here we are in Disney World in sunny Fla. it's 30* and windy, but yes, it was sunny today. Yesterday it rained for the first part of the day, then just cloudy and COLD! Seemed to keep the crowd down so that was a bonus. Lia made reservations a month back for lunch in Cinderella's castle. She nor her mother had ever eatin' there before, so it was one of the MUST DO'S. We got our picture taken with the Princess and then escourted to the dining room. It was fancy and full of yummy smells and shiney happy people. The food was awesome and the hot chocolate made from real stuff, not packets. I belive there was about $40.00 worth (if not for free refills) drank at our table. Then the desert was over the top rich n chocolatey goodness! BUT my favorite part was the other Princesses walking around visiting all the tables and getting their pictures taken with us. Yea, there was Belle and Snow white... whoever and then there was Jasmine. She looked like a very nice person and really wanted her picture taken with me and Gary. It was a great photo that I wanted to put on this silly space. BUT somewhere in my buttun pushing it seems to have dissapeared into the abyss. (I even wrote down instruction on how to do this) Oh, of course I love Aerial,or Aireal,or Aeriel,.. the little mermaid, but she ain't got legs all the time so she wern't there. and yes of course the rides are always fun!!! I've also come to the thought that if Disney were run by the goverment (properly) our country would be out of dept. This is a world power here. Lots a people from lots a places HAPPY to give anything to get close to the Mouse.

Eric on his SPEEDY way back home







These are some of the first pictures I've ever taken while flying my hang glider. They are from my flight new years day with Eric and Staples (James) to the point. John Christoff flew that day as well but stayed closer to the LZ. He has flown every day since!!! 5 days in a row! It has NOT been above 30* on any of his flights! I think he is my new HERO!!! (bet he shows up again today)

Eric's New Years Video (yea, i'm in it)

I still don't have a clue how i'm s'posed to get pictures from there and try to put them here. or how to use more than two fingers at a time to type, let alone try to make a video and edit it to music i created... but my cool friend Eric does and did, with a flight we had New Years Day!!! That is me at the end making all the noise. I was happy to have brought in the new decade with my friends!!! We had been in the below freezing air for over an hour on a trip to the point of the mtn. and back (over 20 miles round trip). As I was getting ready to set up for my return to earth, I saw several different wind directions from three different indicators. You can hear the excitement in my friends voices (not all my landing are soft) as I decide which way to land. You can find the video at ArtandAviation.blogsot.com. if you care. Maybe he can help me put another pic. up next time.
