Stealth/Titans Game

Yesterday I was able to switch my shift so I didn't have to be in funnel and I got to work earlier and shorter...and the icing on the cake I got to work in Nacho! My favorite stand that sells ice cream. :) It was a fantastic day at work. I got off at 3:30 and took a guest bus to the Old Key West Resort where Lisa picked me up. We went home and got the rest of the family and went to mass.

After mass we went to Gators for dinner. I enjoyed a nice Parmesan sandwich and sweet potato fries. And of course I couldn't resist a long island as a little treat to finishing my 58 hour work week.

Now to the game! The Orlando Titans play in the Amway Arena which is the same place that the Orlando Magic currently play in. The Magic are getting a new arena which will be ready for next year. It is maybe three blocks away from where Amway Arena is and seems like kind of a waste of money. The Titans were playing the Washington Stealth from Everett Washington. It was a "best of the west" versus "beast of the east". It was fun to watch, it is pretty fast paced like hockey or indoor soccer. But has parts of other sports in it too. There is a shot clock and you can't go over and back of the half line. I think the final score was 17-7 Washington...they kind of ran away with it in the second period. Overall it was fun to watch and a great night out.

Similar to hockey...a potential fight breaking out.

Burns

The lack of updates are due to the pure exhaustion of working this week...from here on out every hour that I work is overtime. I have been in funnel every single day this week and have got a nice burn to match every single day...I have burned the palm of my hand 3 days...I have two nice red marks that will probably turn into scars on my forearm and I burned the hair off my fingers today...

I pretty much have been hating life and nothing new has happened...I tried to switch with a friend so I don't work in funnel on Saturday and instead will go to a professional lacrosse game with the Krause family...my fingers are crossed that it gets approved.

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter everyone!
We got up early this morning for a 7:00 AM Easter Mass. It was early but well worth it because we got to get to the beach for a full day.
I spent the day at Cocoa Beach with the Krause family and their friends. It was my first trip to the Atlantic Ocean and it was a beautiful day. It was 85 degrees and pure sunshine for most of the day. The kids did all kids of water activities and we older folk (since I am so old) mostly sat around and chatted. I worked on my tan a bit and managed to avoid burning my face to that nice lobster red color that both my father and Chris seem to run into so much.

People watching is always an enjoyable activity for me and the beach provides the perfect specimen for that activity. I was astounded by some of the hideous tattoos. One girl had some huge black thing all over the left side of her body...the minute she gains weight or gets pregnant will be ugly. One man had a huge eagle on his back...as the day went on all around the tattoo was turning bright red...he obviously forgot his sunscreen.

I really enjoyed watching all of the cruise ships take off at the end of the day. The all leave around four and set sail for the Bahamas. It is kind of like a really slow caravan. One takes off and then 20 minutes later another one takes off. They look like they are barely moving at all. Lisa says that since we are so close to the Bahamas the ships go really slow so they get there to dock at a perfect time the next morning.

It was a fantastic day but I certainly miss the get togethers for Easter at Gonzaga. We would go to mass together and make a huge brunch.

I hope all is well with you and your families!
