Adventure soon to begin.... OMG!

My vacation starts on Friday.    I will getting a few of my nephews for a couple of days from my sister.  I am trying to plan a few things for them to do that isn't going to break my highly budgeted bank account.  This is not an easy task.  If anyone has any great ideas for kids that doesn't cost money and is so much fun they will forget they are not spending money, I'm all ears.  Right now, I plan to take them on a boat ride, visit the Elissa, take the ferry to Bolivar and see hurricane damage maybe pester a few of my friends if they are willing hang out with kids, run a pirate game on my boat.   Any more ideas?

As the year draws to a close

Odd things start to happen.   A few months ago BoA decided to tell me that they were going to turn my fixed rate loan into an evil floating rate loan.  I think they must have gotten either in trouble with Bernake, threatened with law suits,  or at least some viscous hate mail.  Because I just got a letter in the mail from them saying they have reconsidered and are now leaving it well enough alone.  Maybe it was all those pins I had put into that voodoo doll of their CEO... who knows.

Back into the thick of things ... And stabbing orcs ....

I had a great Thanksgiving.  I stayed a couple of days and had to babysit for a little bit so I took advantage of the time and got to introduce a couple of my nephews to the joy of Table Top Role Playing Games.  Dungeons and Dragons to be exact.
