I went to the doctors today. My blood pressure in my left arm was 150/104 by the nurse. The doctor came in and I was seeing him about a different problem. He checked me for that and then gave me refills on my prescriptions. But, I had to bring the blood pressure up to him. He took it and got a high reading in the left arm then took the right arm and got 132/85. It has been high since I started seeing this doctor for the past couple of years. He stated he did not want to start me on anything unless my readings stay consistently high. I have a complete physical in June 2005. So we will see what happens then. I will be trying to work a lot of overtime the next few months to save for Christmas. But, I wish doctors were better. I have a good couple of specialists (i.e. my allergist and my eye doctor) those are the only 2 I really trust.

Wednesday, April 6, 2005. We left and have arrived home from Disney World. I was disappointed with MGM and the Caribbean Resort. We did not have hot water our entire stay. It was luke warm. I like more hot than cold in my showers. MGM was kind of boring other than the 2 rides we went on it wasn’t worth seeing. The Magic Kingdom on Monday was extremely crowded, but I love the Philamagic show with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. That was a great attraction and the first time I had been there. Also on the plus side we had dinner last night at a German restaurant in Epcot’s World Show Case. It was a buffet and excellent. It was not quite as good as the Red Lobster on my birthday, but was good. I would eat there again. By the way we ate at the Lonestar Steakhouse on Sunday night and it was horrible.

I went to Epcot today, my first time there. I loved it. I went on the Test track and Mission Space. The hype leading up to the ride on Mission Space was leaving everyone scared including myself. However, once the initial part of the ride was over it was a great ride. I just wished it was longer. The Test Track was much scarier. I posted a lot of pictures on the MOB via my cell. I have been tired all this week. I think it is losing that hour on Sunday. Anyone one else with me?

Well, Monday was my birthday. I went to the Magic Kingdom on day 2 of my get-a-way vacation. It was very crowded. I got very embarrassed as my mom and dad took me out to dinner at Reb Lobster. First of all, my dinner was excellent. But, the surprise and embarrassment came as my mom told our waiter, without my knowledge, that it was my birthday so Jamie and the crew came over and sung me Happy Birthday as he served me a piece of cake and ice cream. I turned several shades of red. I was so embarrassed. But the cake was good and so was the ice cream. Overall not a bad day. 36 years old, I getting middle aged . 4 more years and I am 40 and 9 years 9 months I can retire. Scary!!!!

Well, as I write this I am waiting for everyone to finish loading up my new 2004 Dodge Durango, so we can head to Orlando on our vacation. We will be staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort from today until Wednesday. The plan today is to finally get there and go to the Animal Kingdom. Until 2P then go check into the resort. Probably get some lunch then back to one of the parks. Probably MGM since they will be open until 10P. I plan on taking a lot of pictures with my digital camera and my cell phone. So check the website for more.
I do miss Henry though I had to put him at the Vet’s to board. I hope he will be ok. Going to call and check on him tomorrow. By the way, I will post an audio blog later, which will contain more information on my new Dodge Durango.

I hope everyone got my E-mail about and . Yes, is back. I stopped using Verizon On-Line’s home user website. I got 10mb of storage free but paid an extra $6.95 for 100mb more space. But, I was having a lot of trouble with it. So, I bought my own domain names and moved to hopefully a more reliable web host and a professional web host. I did my homework this time and found that this company has a solid reputation. So the new website can be found at . I am in the process of upgrading some pages in particular (i.e. the guestbook page). The guestbook page is not working properly right now and I am aware of this. I am having to learn a bit of website programming that I have not known before. So, it may be a couple of months before I have it up and running. I am also going to add a couple of other features as soon as I learn how. But, the rest of the site is up and running. So, I hope you will stop by often and enjoy. Also if you try to go to the old website on Verizon I will be loading a redirect page so you won’t have to anything. Please give me feedback via E-mail to let me know how you like it. Thanks.

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is doing great. I know I am. I have been lazying around on my days off. I will be going to Disney this weekend. The only negative is, it looks like I am going to have to board Henry. My sister and brother have let me down. So, that is going to be an extra expense I did not count on and I don’t know how Henry is going to take to that. So get ready for a lot of mob pictures starting this Sunday.

Well, it is vacation time. It is also time for me to be sick again. It seems everytime I go on vacation I get sick. I have had a sore throat since Monday. It is somewhat better today but just by a little. Other than that I feel fine. I plan on catching up on some sleep today, tomorrow and Saturday.

Well, I want to wish my friend and co-worker Shawn a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He turned a whooping 31 years old today. We had a little celebration at a local restaurant. All had a good time and fellowship. 2 working days and Vacation time. Other than that a short weekend. Look for changes to my website in the next week or so.

Only 4 working days to go before I am on vacation. I cannot wait. I also am planning a couple of online surprises after I go on vacation.
Hope everyone is doing great.
