TPIR trip update

Bob Barker looks about the same in person as he does on TV. There's just so much makeup on him that you will never know how bad he looks underneath it. But the show was great, and I managed to get my first real amount of sleep today. We left Saturday morning at 6am and got into our hotel at 1am.

The hotel was horrendous - ants in the bathroom was the first thing my travel partner, Sheila, noticed. But we were both too tired to care. The next morning, though, Sheila found that the shower was inoperable. And after being moved from the double room we were in to a single room with a working shower, we decided to check out of the hotel early. We got reservations at a much nicer boutique hotel. Totally worth it.

Sunday we went to Disneyland. My first time there. I had a really great time. Sheila's been there a million times so she ended up giving me the commentary track as we walked around. I really had a great time there.

We checked into our new hotel around midnight Sunday. Then we were up at 4am to go to line up for The Price Is Right. It was a really really long day, but the show was great and it'll air on October 27th.

Last night we went to the Santa Monica pier. Got a bit lost trying to find a gas station that sold diesel. But Sheila put me in the right direction and we got fuel before running out. But the pier was really cool.

Today we're going up to the bay area and then tomorrow, home. Great trip so far.

Your MOM upside down is WOW

So remember that little life-changing event that occurred that threw my life into turmoil?

Apparently it has been resolved.

Even still, I have my doubts. I'm having a hard time trusting anything that this person says. But it would seem to be resolved, as far as I know.

Come on down?

Road trip. To Los Angeles. Leaving August 19th. On the 21st, The Price Is Right.

I cannot wait.

The Price is Right. Seriously. Awesome.
