Disneyland - 2014
I don't think of myself as a "Disney Adult" – that is to say, I don't own anything with Mickey Mouse on it; however, Disneyland has become a bit of a travel staple for us. I suspect this is largely due to my wife having…
Passing the Time - Spring 2014
It's been interesting, sitting here in 2025, hearing about this big uptick in nostalgia for the peak Millennial years, especially for the younger generation that were too young to really enjoy that time. Internet Analysis has a good video on this entire topic that's worth checking…
Passing the Time - Fall 2013 / Winter 2014
Sometimes life is filled with big, glamorous travel plans. Sometimes it's just a series of small happenings. Both are important. September, 2013.

The Gang Visits Harry Potter
Okay, so it's important to mention here that I'm writing this post in early 2025. This trip, however, took place in the summer of 2013. A lot changed in those 12 years, especially as it relates to the Harry Potter franchise and it's creator.…
