Post Two

Really? Just one post in all of May? Really? Wow, do I need to do better. Okay, here's the May recap: I finished one set of work-related tasks and started another. The new thing will take me all summer, but hopefully no longer because that would be B-A-D. I spent a wonderful week at DisneyWorld with Susan and her parents. The weather was nice, the crowds were less than expected for this time of year, and Susan even made the trains/buses/monorails appear on time. We ate at a couple new (to us) places, Bistro de Paris (amazing) and Artist Point (fantastic) as well as taking in several of our favorite places, Boma (what a buffet should be) and Raglan Road (bread and butter pudding with sauces that'll blow your mind). We (Susan and I) did DiveQuest again. It was fun but a bit crowded and a bit short, I think. We've done the dive enough times now, that things like tank crowding and shorter bottom time become very obvious. Still, it was fun. The new attraction since last time we were there was the Nemo show at Animal Kingdom. It was good, very entertaining, and Susan really liked it (especially the turle song). I thought the show was very well-written and the artistic choices they made were interesting (I mean that in a good way). I rode all the rollercoasters with Susan's dad (except the Rockin' Rollercoaster; he did that one solo as I wasn't feeling so good the morning we were at MGM.) The coasters are all fun, with good themes and stories, but I definitely like the Expedition Everest the best. Overall, it was a great time. It's always nice introducing others to something you enjoy.

Since coming back, I have gone into work some, gone to the gym some, and started to get into my summer project. Wish me luck and forgive me if you don't hear from me as much over the summer. I anticipate my work this summer will be difficult on the same scale as my summer '02 was difficult.
