I have an interest in old Coney Island and have seen several documentaries of the old Luna Park. I somehow think I would be disappointed by the new one. Great name, though. :wink:

I can't get on any rides as I get dizzy easily,not to mention my fear of heights. :eek:


My weekend was fairly quiet. Work on Friday, then home to chill. Carol decided about 9:embarrassed:0 PM that she wanted some nightlife; we discovered that nothing happens in our area on Friday nights. :(

Saturday was a short day at the office,then we cleaned out some more stuff from the storage shed. Sunday was church in the AM, a hike through the Rock House reservation, then chilling out at home. It was nice to have a quiet weekend.

the rides are better and less death-trappy. there's still some of the old, sketchy park left. the Cyclone, Wonder Wheel, freakshow, and some of the old vendors are still there. the parachute drop was disabled by Sandy. and I think that even if much of the old park hadn't been raized in the name of urban development, Sandy would have done much of it in anyway.

I have a long-time dream of going to Paris. The problem is, the Paris of my dreams is the Paris of the 1920's. I like idealized things better than reality. :rolleyes: I was just watching a 1999 documentary on PBS about some old-school amusement parks that were still (at that time) operating. I much prefer those to the 6 Flags/DisneyCorp places.

the only constant is change.
 
Friday - restrung a couple of guitars ready for Saturday's gig.

Saturday - Bristol Bike Bash gig. More here. Found out that Season 3 of Falling Skies started several weeks ago on Fox and we'd missed it. :mad:

Sunday - Dropped my car to our mechanic mate to take in for it's MOT today and then went on to check out the cash and carry warehouse we signed up to a couple of weeks ago. Lots of money saving bargains were found and had. Found out we could catch up with Falling Skies on the Xbox so had a 4 episode marathon to get up to date. :thu:

Monday - Rang my mechanic mate to talk about the car and found out from his wife that he had a stroke last night and is in hospital. Best wishes to him for a speedy recovery. :(
 
What the hell did I do this weekend? :embarrassed:

I know we ate at a nice Italian place on Friday and an Irish place on Saturday. I fixed the convertible to on my daughter's VW. Mowed the lawn and played guitar.

Sunday we went to Detroit. Went bar hopping and went to the Tiger game. Miggy blasted a two run homer in his first at bat and it never got close after that.
 
Friday had a very easy day at work,those dont happen very often!
Saturday- went to my 30th High School Reunion. It was great reconnecting and at 30 years the playing field is pretty level.
Sunday- laid around and watched it rain all day. I am off this week so it's going to be a LONG weekend
