A long time

It has been a long time since my last post. So I will try not to bore you on whats been happening. After we came back from I was bumped to second shift at work though it does suck not to see your loved ones, it is kinda of relaxing. It makes it that much more special to see them on the weekends.
So after getting used to second shift my brother came home for his yearly visit. That went well I guess he spent alot of time doing his photography and looking into coming home to persue his Bachelors in Photography at R.I.T.
There was alot of hostility on my part that may not have been necessary now but at the time was in my mind. We have to work some things out.
As far as the band, in November Fahad stepped out as singer and guitarist due to creative differences. I wish him the best in 2009 with all he does musical,career and life.
On to other things Chrissy and I moved to a new apartment in November it has more for the dogs like a doggie park were they can run and play and act like morons with the other dogs.
We had the yearly Minurka Family Christmas party at our new place. That was fun kids playing Wii and adults drinking as normal.
Christmas was a good one this year I got some good books and DVDs. Oh and the usual Hess truck from my dad. Thanks dad It would'nt be Christmas without it.
The day after Christmas the tree goes out the door and to the curb. Its a tradition I started when we had our house.
So now its the New Year and more fun to be had. I am still working this week but who knows what will happen next week.
A new President hopefully some new thinking to go along with it. New oppertunities as well.

Disney in 6 days pt.3




Ok, last we left off we have gone to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. On Thursday we made our way to Animal Kingdom. On this day it started out good a little over cast. So we went on and did "A Bugs Life" they really liked it,I remembered it from the last time Bob and I were there. Next on to "Expedition Everest". Its the new roller coaster. Let me tell you it was intense. They keep you in the dark for the whole ride. If and when you get there go on it!
Next we do the river raft. We all got wet except one person in our raft she did not get a drop on her. A lady from another family luckiest person in the whole raft. After that we make our way over to the Africa section of Animal Kingdom and on to the Safari ride. Very cool we saw a lot of movement buy the animals from the last time we(Bob and I)were there.
Dino-land was next on our list of things to do at Animal Kingdom. We did the Dinosaur ride. You go back in time and rescue a dinosaur to bring back.
We finish our day out getting autographs from Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Then on to Rain Forest Cafe. If you have not eate3n in a Rain Forest Cafe make it a "to do"! You wont be disappointed.
Hollywood Studios in my next episode.........

Disney in 6 days pt.2





Well at the Magic Kingdom they have left everything alone. I mean they may have changed stuff but not that I could see from 8 years ago. We got to hit all the mountains while we were there.
Next day no migraine and off to E.P.C.O.T.
As we walked in to the park the "Ball" took all the attention from everyone coming in. Pictures from all vantage points. So we headed to the "GM Test Track" a really cool attraction and "IT" started with my brother-in-law again. This time he wants to drive the car so we let him. After that he wanted to do it again! "That was fun!" Then as we walk off the ride "I'm board" Who do I believe????? Tell me.
Next off to Mission Space a newly revamped attraction. Very cool its a flight simulator. Again "IT" started now we all were ignoring it! They have an advanced and moderate mission. We did the moderate less wait. So on to the World Showcase.
We went counter clock wise its just a thing I got from my parents when we last went there.
Canada-Got t-shirts and Moosehead Beer
United Kingdom- Lunch at the Rose and Crown Fish and Chips and half and half's, Signatures from Eeyore and Pooh(my wife left me for Eeyore)
France- Signature from Bella(Beauty and the Beast)
Moracco- Signatures from Princess Jasmine and The Genie Chrissy got a Sultan Colada
Japan- Saki shots!
USA- not to much elephant ears
Italy- Lemon Liquor and a side show
Germany- trying to recover from the lemon liquor and a $37,500 chrystal castle pretty cool
China- Beer
Norway- we tried to be "cool" Vikings
Mexico- Mayan ruins replicas
After we went around the world Dinner time at the Coral Reef Restaurant.
I was not impressed at all,I don't recommend going there!
So far only bad meal. We stayed for the Fireworks at EPCOT. I've seen them before and was impressed again.

How fun!(Yeah right) So we take off from Rochester and lay over in Baltimore 40 minutes Off we go to Orlando Fl. we land and I tell you what Disney take care of everything buses and baggage we did not touch anything till about 3pm. So well we were waiting for our luggage we explored our resort man it was like they took the tropics and set them in Florida. After about an hour we went back to our rooms and took a shower that felt great and on to lunch. My mother-in-law got a migraine so we left her behind to fight it. After that we got a beer and relaxed.
Day two I woke up with the migraine my mother-in-law had great for me! So I fight it until 1030am my wife and her family went to the Magic Kingdom at around 9am. I find them in a Christmas store in the Magic Kingdom. Soon after we take lunch and then on to our first ride. Well our first fast pass, Splash Mountain then on to Big Thunder Mountain our first Disney ride. Not all of us want wanted to go on this ride. My brother-in-law is 8 years old and was a little nervous little nervous might not be the right word. He asked every question out there. "Is this fast,how come we have to wait, I don't want to wait,is this in the dark,when are we going to get there?" Oh boy thats when I knew it was going to be a long trip.
After Thunder Mountain he loved it he wanted to go on again. Next we went to Splash Mountain and "it" started all over again all the questions. We ended the day with "Dreams" Magic Kingdoms impressive firework display. Oh yeah we did the world famous Space Mountain.

Yes the "Wii" language continues with my wife. Now its Super Mario Brothers 3. Yes the old school version we can download old games on the new console! Maybe I should seek counseling my self.
