^ Lucky! Hopefully I can go in October again. We got a tax refund from both Federal and State. Not a whole lot, but it's better than paying! Eric

^ Supposed to be studying. < Used to study. V Used to fleas!

Who was supposed to bring the pie? Eric

Too bad Kristen couldn't have waited an extra 11 days...what an awesome birthday gift that would have been! (I came 11 days before my mom's, too!) Hope your day was happy! Eric

"I've heard rumors of them adding a second park in the US." (WillMontu) I've heard that they're looking at Kansas City of all places. Nice TR, Erik. Hope you and Leanne had a nice visit to California. Eric

I didn't attend the Bash, but I would like to thank Chris and Natalee for everything they've done for us. Putting on such an event is hard work, and we're grateful to both of you. And Robb and Elissa deserve many kudoes for putting on the TPR party after the Bash. That, too, is a lot of work. The food and entertainment were great, and it was nice to meet Russell and Janice (Elissa's parents). And, of course, Kristen. Eric

I just polished off a can of Vault Zero. Eric

No, but it gaves Jack good muscle tone! Did you eat fruit today?

^ Going to debate the weather. < Had great weather today here. V Having a great appendectomy tomorrow!

Glad I got to meet her yesterday. She is such a good baby! May she bring a lifetime of happiness to both of you! Eric

I hope they do a Zero version. That's the only kind I can have. Eric

Looks like y'all had a blast! Hope to see everyone tomorrow...I did see a few of you at SFMM last weekend. Eric

^ How does it compare with X at SFMM? Eric

Yep, had some just the other day... Would you play at my roulette table?

Goliath at SFMM last Sunday, March 4, with Diana, in the afternoon, somewhere in the middle of the train. Eric

^ Once I deciphered your post, I realized what you said. Perilous Plunge isn't exactly a "family" ride, whereas Tidal Wave is. I'm all for a Hurricane Harbor expansion into where Flashback now is, and I've wondered if that park could expand into the area within Colossus, being that it's pretty much wasted space. Understandably, exposed slides may not work, but some good enclosed ones could, theoretically, wind their way through there without any interference with the operation of Colossus and/or Goliath. Eric

^^ That brings to mind a question: I wonder how many inquiries coaster manufacturers get from people wanting parts as collectibles or souvenirs? It's a pretty scary thought, really. Eric

Actually, I am kinda hungry. Have you ever stuck any body parts together with Super Glue?

Burrito for breakfast today, and right now I'm doing laundry, but once Diana gets ready, we'll be out of the house and on our way to lunch and Barnes and Noble so she can get a book for a school project to work on while I go to my casino job out in Moorpark tonight. Eric

Train watching. Since I live about 100 feet from a busy Union Pacific track, I see 'em all---Amtrak, Metrolink, freight. I have a spot all staked out in my back yard where I can look over the fence and get a front row seat. Sometimes, the trains run just late enough to where I can see three Amtrak trains and a Metrolink one within a half hour. There's a siding where, say, the one Amtrak train will wait for the Metrolink train to go by, then have to back onto the main line and proceed down to the station. If trains bore you, then this isn't for you. But I like 'em! Eric

^ You'll be 18 in a few years. There are 49 other states to live in. Choose one and go there. Eric

Cashews look like little smiles because they're soooooo good! Eric

Actually, I've already been (SFMM, March 4), so I'll say yes. Did someone hug you today?

You could just stand under a Vekoma coaster. One'll come down any time... Eric

Tomorrow is casual day at work, and I found out that Good Friday is a paid holiday for us! Eric
