The Cure

Olivia discovered The Cure this weekend.

Realizing we were lacking in Cure music, we picked up a “best of” album. When we got home I popped it in CD player and she danced and danced and danced. Loved every song.

If you’ve got a two year old and don’t know what to do, there is always dancing.

Carnival

She also got to experience her first carnival. Yes, one of those slightly scary things set up in a parking lot. We went down the super slide, rode the merry-go-round and the balloon ride.

The balloon ride was one of those tilt-a-whirl kind of rides. The gondolas rise up about 15 feet and then tilt so that as you rotate you also rise up and down. She was a bit startled when it tilted, but then relaxed and had a great time. So much so that we stayed right in the bucket and went for a second ride. That was all dad could take though — it just wasn’t build for my 6 foot frame.

We’ve got tickets to see The Police! Woo whoo!

For my local friends and readers, I offer up:

• Maxtor DiamondMax 3400 11.5GB hard drive; works fine, no known errors
• American McGee’s Alice video game (PC)
• 2 sticks of Elixir DDR-400 256 MB ram
• Thrustmaster Super Sport Racing Wheel, hardly ever used

I’m tired of storing them. Take them off my hands and save me the trouble of selling them on Ebay.

Over the weekend, the family had lunch at a Big Boy® and in the kid’s menu/magazine was the very odd “Prehistoric Big Boy in ‘The Doctor is IN’”. Odd enough that I had to scan and post it to Flickr.

Behold “The Doctor is IN”.

The list of what’s currently in the bar is now online.
