I’m just going to say this: the gun show was everything I imagined it would be.
We arrived bright and early, about an hour after the doors opened, and, even as we were making our way to the entrance, people were weaving through the grassy parking lot toting as much ammunition as they could carry. A [...]
Tomorrow, I will spend a majority of the morning and afternoon indulging in not only a Constitutional right but a Southern-mandated right: I will be at the local gun show.
(How can you not flex your biceps when you say those two words?)
I’ve never been to one before but my brain conjures up an image of [...]
Whenever out-of-town or Internet friends get a chance to visit Orlando, they always ask for suggestions as to what to check out. I blink at them before stammering out a very generic response that could be read straight off a Disney handbook. Having lived here for almost eight years, I take a lot of the [...]
HI2U HURRICANE IKE:
Naturally, I fully expect another panic come next week.
I know, I know, “That’s what you get for living in Florida!” but seriously, the rain is getting old. I’d be perfectly okay with rainy days if I were at home, in my pajamas, reading a good book. Alas, that whole “paying bills” and [...]
In the midst of all the drama over the weekend, I found a local spot that is truly Heaven on Earth. It is a land of calm and zen, of Care Bears and unicorns and rainbows and other things that make the world a truly better place. It is my new mecca.
It’s called [...]
Seriously, I must’ve missed something.
For the past few days, the news has been abuzz with Tropical Storm Fay. She tore through the Caribbean and inched her way towards Florida.
And Florida, you absolutely lost your shit.
Perhaps I’m jaded from having been in Central Florida during the 2004 hurricane season when most of the entire state had [...]
Dear Orlando:
Please get an STD check. Otherwise, we can’t make out anymore:
It’s 2008. Do you know what potential dangers your child faces?
If you live in Orange County, it could be sexually transmitted diseases, which have jumped far above the state average. In Seminole County, it could be underage drinking among middle- and high-school students.
In Lake, [...]
Let me preface this post by openly admitting that I’m a total beer noob. I am by no means a connoisseur, much in the same way that I shamelessly love Yellowtail wine as much as I love a good bottle of Cakebread or Mondavi. As far as beer goes, I tend to stay away from [...]
I’m finally getting to celebrate this whole graduatin’ thing! (I double-checked my degree audit, which is basically a checklist of requirements, just to make sure. And then I checked again because you never know.) Last weekend, we celebrated my sister-in-law’s boyfriend’s graduation so it’s not like I could be all, ME TOO! [...]
The article speaks for itself, really. It’s a bit lengthy but there are truly some gems contained within…
(As seen on Tacky Fabulous; article from Orlando Weekly)
David Steffen, 64, rides motorcycles, plays electric guitar and likes to hit the sauce on occasion with his party-animal wife, Patricia. He’s got six grandkids. He moved to Orlando [...]
