Sounds like you’re having a good time. I think I could find a way to somehow force myself to drink a Mai Tai out of a Solo Cup on the beach. Rainy and 45* here in Bentonville today. :-(

Simon - Commented at the same minute again.

That’s hilarious about Dex replying to his own request. Right now, Ben asks for Shrek a lot. We watched it when his grandpops was in town and it renewed his interest. It’s pretty violent, so I often question whether we should shelf it for a few years.

I’m sure you would have loved this. We almost got a personal tour near the end. Two of the ladies had taken Ben topside while Shannon and I finished the tour below decks, and I started asking an old-timer some questions. He was awesome, and I could tell he had served. Plus, Tuesdays aren’t real busy around there, so he probably was aching for the company.

You and I are both in our 30s and show all signs of never truly growing up. Good omens for Benjamin, my friend. (Well, the documented fact of my own immaturity doesn’t do Ben a lick of good, but yours sure does!)

Speaking of Cars, Dex has been eager to watch the DVD ever since we went to see it in the theatre. We keep reminding him that it’s not out for a couple weeks yet. He still asks to watch it, but then fills in for his mother when he shakes his own head and mutters sadly, “Not yet, honey.”

I love Aircraft Carriers… I’ve been on The USS Intrepid in New York’s Harbor. On board they have an SR-71 Blackbird which I find breathtaking.
Some day, I’ll post about how me and a friend got a personalized tour of this ship.

Glad you’re having fun bud!
