Tyler and Bryan have NEW Haircuts!!!

Tyler and Bryan MUGGIN here with their new dooo's!!! The boys wanted to get the "normal" haircut - however, I trumped their request and instructed the stylist to do something nice and up to date for their hair styles! What do you all think? Dawn and I think they look GREAT!!!

A great day at Universal Studios

Bryan At Outback Steakhouse

Tyler sans braces - he got them off last month

FYI - if you look next to the "Section" number ... where it says "STN" as the row. If you are not familiar with that abbreviation ... that means STANDING ROOM! Yes - we paid $88 for a spot along the wall ... however, it was on the lower deck and we had a GREAT view from where we were standing. I am not complaining - I got to see Playoff Hockey!!!

To bad the Ducks didnt show up for the game - Detroit dominated this game from the beginning. The Red Wings ended up taking it home with a 5 - 0 win over the Ducks! Its OK - there is still Thursday's game ... I am sure the Ducks can re-focus before then.

Desperate - Party of 2, your table is ready

So here we are, looking for 2 tickets to the game tonight. The short version of tonights event goes like this ... *que dream sequence music*

I was looking at the tickets Brian bought on the way to the Honda Center (where the Ducks play hockey) - the tickets said "Round 3 / Home Game 2" ... I thought that was odd since tonights game was the Home Game 1 - and we bought tickets for TONIGHTS game! Well - silly us to think that way. The fine people over at Ticketsnow.com explained to us that EVEN THOUGH we were buying tickets for the game scheduled on May 15th, since they have a disclaimer that says "dates can change without notice" - the reason they sent us Game 2 tickets is because that is the game we bought.

Yea - even I was confused at the imcompetence of their customer service center. What really struck me as funny was when they said "I understand you bought tickets for the game on May 15th - however, you were buying tickets for Round 3 / Home game 2" - but they agreed that we bought tickets for the game on May 15th - yet its OUR fault that they sent us tickets for Thursday's game May 17th. Yea - someone is getting a letter in the mail. NOT HAPPY!!!

However - fret not my fine friends, we managed to get 2 tickets to tonights game ... check out the picture above this!!!

Ducks take the ice

Our view for playoff hockey

Dawn is in Cape Town - South Africa

Here is a nice picture of Dawn chilling out on her cruise - she caught a catamaran cruise around the water looking back onto Cape Town.
Can you believe that someone has named a boat after my wife?
Here is the waterfront in Cape Town - Dawn says its like San Francisco's Fishermans Wharf and Pier 39 ... but much much cleaner.

Midnight Beer Run

Late night beer run - Our Coors Light ran out before we could start the Monday episode of 24. So - this was not a hard decision to make.

Waiting to board in Orlando - I had to get to the airport 3 hours before departure since I could not get assigned seating online with my miles tickets - I did not want to be stuck sitting on the milk crate with the chickens and goats. So my 3 hour early plan got me aisle seat with the chickens and goats - ha ha ... I was on the aisle seat in row 26. The plane I was on had 26 rows of seats - so yes, I was the last row. Well - the poor kid sitting in the middle seat wraped himself up in a nice comfy fleece sweater and then turned the overhead AC nozzle on full blast. SO - by the time I landed in Denver my right elbow was black from frost bite.

The flight from Denver was almost as bad - I was not able to get an aisle seat, however, the ticket agent was nice enough to put me in a middle seat in an exit row. I like exit rows, MORE leg room! However, the 2 dudes flanking me were not the most considerate gentlemen I have sat with. The guy on my left now wanted to read his paper, with his leg crossed - evidently he had all the room in the world he needed. The guy on my right - well, he was about 13 hours into his 12 hour deodorant. Dawn and I refer to that as "product failure."

Once I arrived in Orange County - ALL was good in the hood!
