Well, I’ve discovered the joys of flickr. I’m always late to the party.
I’ve been uploading pics like crazy. I should probably be shot.
Until next time...

One more “Ugh” and I’m done complaining.
Last complaining post for a while. I hope.
After arriving at the Tulsa airport and then hoisting it to the baggage carousel of love. We wait. Finally the luggage starts puking it’s way out of the metal esophagus after doing A.T.M. on the plane. We have two bags. Among what appeared to be 300 other people’s luggage. The third piece of luggage out was one of ours. Then we wait. And wait. 15 minutes of waiting while luggage is regurgitated from the plane’s belly. The last piece of luggage off was our second one. How did that happen?
We then stroll out to the parking garage to retrieve our car. Which won’t start. The battery is dead. Do you know how hard it is to get a jump start at almost midnight? I finally managed to get in touch with airport security to get a jump.
Jump done. Now there’s a door open light on. All the doors are closed. Grrr. I get to a gas station to refuel and look at the hatchback. The cargo net has somehow wedged itself into the locking mechanism leaving the hatchback in an “open” state. Which means that the overhead door lights had been on since we left a week ago. Which explains the dead battery in the car.
And the drive home was 2 hours of London-esque fog.
I think yesterday was the worst travel day I have ever experienced.
Okay. I’m done now. I’ll post happy thoughts and pictures as I retrieve them from the temporary camera.
Until next time...
A study in Woof!
Today is the Tidal Wave Party at Wet ‘n Wild where there will be much wet frolicking happening, or so I hope to observe.
I haven’t had any free time yet to upload any of the pictures I have taken on our trip so far. I’m actually writing this post from my cellphone on our way to Universal Studios. (No, I’m not driving.) I thought it might be a little “slower” of a trip since there are four of us this time. But not so much. If anything, it’s been busier. Non-stop travel from point-to-point for different theme parks, concerts, bars and parties. I’ll need a vacation from this vacation.
Since I haven’t uploaded anything yet, this “pre-staged” hottie will have to do.
I wonder if I will bump into him here…
Until next time...
In the Mouse House
The husbear and I left the house at 2 AM to make the two hour drive to the Tulsa International Airport for our 6 AM flight to Orlando.
So far, so good.
Then, somehow at check-in, I managed to “accidentally” upgrade us to First Class. On our ONE hour jump flight to Dallas. How the hell did I manage that? I could have sworn it said Dallas to Orlando. Well, it’s a vacation… but I still feel stupid. The husbear is still making fun of me for it. Now I think he only deserves one hour of First Class treatment. I don’t want him to get used to it.
It’s also weird being the first people in the airport. We actually had to wait for the TSA drones to get here and clock in before we could even check in. Bizarre, bizarre, bizarre.
*****
We landed in Dallas. The husbear says we are flying First Class more often from now on.
For the first time ever in the history of me flying, our connection in Dallas leaves from the exact same gate we landed at. Just in two hours…
That’s two hours of hot man watching in Texas… or not.

The husbear actually said this:
“I wonder if they [the pilots] have a Garmin up there to know where to go.”
I just gave him a look.

We have landed in the Mouse House. We met up with our cohorts from Arkansas who were waiting at the airport as well.
Watch out Orlando… the Arkansas gay contingent is in the house.
Until next time...
Almost time…
It’s that time of year again. Gay Days is almost upon us.
Me and the husbear at Gay Days in 2003
The husbear and I usually make a pilgrimage to the Orlando-area every year at this time. And this year we’re coming down with two friends from the opposite side of the state!
We’ll be playing the roles of tourists this year. I know we’re going to see the Blue Man Group while we’re there. And there is the Tidal Wave party on Friday. Then there’s all the theme parks and hopefully a trip to the beach one day.
I was also hoping to have time to meet up with Sorted and Mike while we are there. I think we’re going to actually have a tight schedule while we’re down there, but I’m hoping to free up some time. And I still have to make some family time to see my new niece as well as the other nephew and niece (oh, and the siblings too).
Will anyone else be down in the Orlando-area next week?
Until next time...
Full Moon Saloon?
On the way to the hospital today, I took a little detour down OBT as I had two hours to kill before meeting for the nexy visit at the hospital (the family had to go to church).
What happened to the Full Moon Saloon? There was a big “For Sale” sign out front.
Where does the “bear” crowd hang out now in Orlando?
Until next time...
