- inflated and tied over 100 helium balloons, blistering the side of my finger in the process (something I didn't realize I'd done until the blister burst around the 90th balloon);
- ran security/crowd control on 200+ proud parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc., all intent on getting a photo of their little angel receiving his/her "diploma" while being completely oblivious to who they stood in front of to do so;

He's a chip off the old block, he is ;)

I was in your neck of the woods the other day at Disneyland. I'd only been there a couple times before, so to me it's still a really exciting place.
If your playing much in the way of games these days check out World of Tanks. I'm having a great time and is seems to be built for us older folk. You can jump in and have a game or 2 in just a few minutes, and not too much fast twitch. If you give it a try, look me up "Ardack"
