Epcot Food & Wine
Posted by samsynn on May 14, 2008
Nan and I are planning a trip up to Epcot for the Food & Wine festival. We didn’t get to go last year because of my Project Management class. As an added bonus, my sister will be down that weekend as well (so we’re hoping to meet her and the kids for lunch on Sunday).
We’re planning on going Saturday November 8, which is the last weekend of the festival this year. Anyone else interested in going?
I hate being sick…

It doesn’t happen all that often, but this past weekend I’ve just been achy and miserable. It started Friday with a headache that continued through the weekend. By Saturday morning my sinuses were blocked up and slowly pushing my eyes out the front of my head. It got a little bit better by last night but seems to be back in full force today.
While Nan had a busy weekend (yoga class, Greek festival), I stayed in as much as possible. I did a lot of Warcraft playing, watched the first half of Flags of our Fathers (not as good as Letters from Iwo Jima), all of Casino Royale (although in 2 sittings) and a bunch of Star Trek: TNG episodes.
It looks like we’re thinking of this Sunday (2/17) for the Ren-Fest at Quiet Waters. Let me know if you’re in.
Also - Howieopolis has reached 50 population, so I am going to start adding some industry to the city! Keep visiting the site (as well as Chardoville, Pharrisburg, Bingo-Valley, and Chandtopia).
Wednesday already?

Days are going by fast.
The past weekend went too fast as well, with Greek food for Mom-in-Law’s birthday Friday and the big dinner for Nan’s birthday Saturday night (big thanks to everyone who came out and could celebrate with us). Followed that with brunch at Sweet Tomatoes with both moms Sunday morning and (of course) football. Can’t tell you how happy Nan is that football season is basically over (and that I don’t watch basketball or hockey as much as I do football).
This weekend we’ll be driving up to Orlando for the FX Show. I was going through DVDs, books, etc last night finding the things I want to get signed. Found the Serenity sheet signed by Gina Torres from a few years ago that I’ll try to get Nathan Fillion to sign as well. Maybe one day I’ll get all 9 of the cast members. (Especially Summer Glau!) I still think Nan will be overwhelmed with geek-dom this weekend, but we’ll see.
Speaking of autographs - found the surprise that you were hinting at James… awesome! You rock!
Nan’s birthday (almost here)

Wow - wasn’t expecting the huge turnout for Nan’s birthday dinner this coming Saturday. Not that it’s a bad thing by any stretch, but you know how you invite lots of people and think that maybe half will be able to come? Well we’re at 22 people attending. Nan will be making the reservation today (so the time may change a little bit based on that). She’ll also be asking them about separate checks in advance so that we can make this a little easier for the staff. (If you want to bring cash to make things easier it may not be a bad idea).
The next fun part will be when we have to get 22 people to agree on 2 appetizers, 2 salads, 2 pastas, 2 dinners and 2 desserts. Hmmmm….
I’ve had a few questions about what people should get Nan. Nobody is believing me that she would LOVE a new XBOX360 (and that includes Nan!). Nan is being difficult and can’t even tell our moms what she would like. Her comment is that “your presence is your present” so take that as you will. See you all on Saturday!
Happy New Year 2008…

Well, other than a choke job by the Gator defense against Michigan (thankfully I didn’t spend money on going to Orlando for the game!) the new year has started off well. NYE was a blast with lots of Rock Band fun (if only we had an XBOX 360) and another wonderful NYE with Nan as the ball dropped. Man - Dick Clark just isn’t looking any better this year than he was last year - kind of sad.
It’s back to work for me today, but a short work week at least. Less than a week until I take the PMP exam, and only one week from tonight* should be my 22 minutes of fame on Jeopardy! I’ll post a link to my “Hometown Howdy”/TV Spot once it’s online.
* With the Rose Bowl last night on ABC, I’m starting to get worried that the Jeopardy episode will be pushed back a day. I’ll know after seeing who’s on Monday (and if I recognize them).
