A few months ago a friend and I were discussing how to get more edge brownies out of a batch. We ended up with an idea for a pan exactly like this:
Well, looks like someone made it. They better not get rich off this thing or I’m going to be pissed! On the other hand, now I can have lots of edge brownies and I didn’t have to do any of the hard work 
Sorry, Fritz, no center for you! Hahahahahaahah
Looks like I’ll not get to play disc golf today 
Went to Buca di Beppo last night. These are the cannolis I was talking about, Susie.
Well, I’m home now. Sorry the trip wasn’t more interesting I’ll keep updating this blog as things happen, or when I’m bored or lonely :)
Well, I’m done perturbing Susie and Fritz’s routine. I’m heading back to Texas today. I thought about going the long way, but I’m really just ready to go home. I guess I’m a crappy traveler. Maybe I’m just getting ready to get back to a regular routine. Six weeks really is a long time to have off with nothing in particular to do.
Fritz (brother-in-law) and I went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure today. I have to whole-heartedly recommend getting an Express Pass if you go to these parks. It allows you to skip past all the non-Express Pass people. Yeah, it’s classist, but there’s a certain joy in jaunting past everyone to the front of the line. We were able to do everything we wanted to do in both parks in one day because of the pass. And since it was Tuesday before summer, each pass was only $35 which is about the same as two people eating lunch in the park — totally worth it.
Best rides include The Hulk, Dueling Dragons (ride both sides; if you can only do one, Ice seemed better), and The Mummy.
The worst: Dr. Doom is a total waste of time. If I had waited 30 minutes to ride that, I would have been totally pissed! Back to the Future is closing down Friday (I hear) and I’m fine with that. Of all the things I rode, it’s was by far the most likely to make me hurl. You just sit in a car and watch a move, but the car moves on pneumatics that are so herky-jerky that I was having to close my eyes and focus on not losing my lunch. Oh, I lost my sunglasses on that freakin’ ride, too
I was lazy and didn’t take any pictures. You’ll just have to use your imagination
I went to another spring training game yesterday. This time in Kissimmee — the Astro’s home for spring. It was a good game, but the ’stros blew it in the 9th inning, losing 7-5. I took some action photos that can be seen here.
I made it to Winter Haven. Unfortunatly, I’m about four hours too early. As I write this, it’s about an hour until the park actually opens. And it is freaking hot. Luckily it isn’t too bad under the trees with the breeze. Outback is setting up for some private party with band. The band is warming up so I have some entertainment. But nothing to drink.
Bitch, moan, eh?
I’d take more pictures, but there’s not much to see outside here.
I don’t know how to rotate the line up picture that I took. I’ll have to figure that out later.
At least I thought I was. Jeez! Florida is big. And what makes it worse is that there’s nothing on I-10. I mean, I guess it’s good that ten misses the downtown traffic of the cities it by passes. If that is the reason for it. Whatever. I’m staying in Live Oak which the woman at the desk of the hotel says is called “Dead Oak” when I lamented about the amount of nothingness out here.
Looks like I’ve got about 3.5 hours to Winter Haven for the spring training game tomorrow night at 7. Susie, I guess I’ll call you when I get close to the point at which I have to decide if I’m going to Orlando or Winter Haven if it’s early enough to matter.
