d e m e t e r

today is a bit of a slow morning...this post will probably be more on the frank side because of it (but who knows once i get started). yesterday we did go to downtown disney, first visiting the ESPN Zone with nat for the first time. of course she enjoyed the arcade area where we did a little river rafting, basketball shoots, air hockey and even a little pitching. my fastest pitch was 36 mph to andruw jones and needless to say, he hit a home run off of me (hmmmm...if only in real life for him that is)!



afterwards we visited one of our favorite little book shops, compass books and cafe. i scored on a seven dollar buy for the mysterious benedict society and nat went off with a bug play set. we went and ate a the storyteller's cafe and wow....delicious!!! we chowed down on fresh baked bread and cornbread and while the carnivores ate their meals i cleared my plate of the four cheese ravioli with roasted peppers, mushrooms and asparagus! mmmmmmm....oh, and we had to finish it all off with a berries and ice cream on flourless chocolate cake. delightful indeed. of course we had to make a pit stop to natalie's "friend" the bear statue,where we took more pictures of her and it to add to the collection.



so, on to this morning...

i am still in the process of voting my 25 times for the 2008 all-star list (dodgers across the board on the NL except for third base which i am voting for wright of the mets since nomar is back on the DL).

so much for being frank ;)
