Thought you did, but perhaps not.

Below is the link for part of the Hersheypark telecast from the CW11 Morning Show in New York. If you freeze the video at 16 seconds, you can see my daughter over the right shoulder of the boy who caught the hat. The blonde girl on the left is one of her friends. The video gives a good sense of the roller coaster that has a 97 degree drop. Of course, I guess you have to ride it. I haven't. Roller coasters tend to make me nauseous anymore.

Madi and 3 of her friends, who slept over last night were up at 4. We got to the park at 5:30 this morning. There's something surreal about walking through a large amusement park at that time in the dark with nobody around.

Anyway, she and her friends got to ride Farenheit 15 times between 6-9. The park also let everyone, who showed up early for the telecast, to enterthe park for free when it opened at 10. The girls went back, but were exhausted by 2 PM, so we came home. They had a great time and a full day

Is she just behind him? The blonde I can make out really well, but couldnt' see the other girl. That is fantastic though. She must have been thrilled.

She's to the blonde's left. She's a red head, but her hair looks brown. She's partially obscured by the boy with the hat.

She had a ball. She and her friends would ride the roller coaster and then run from the exit to the entrance to get on again. The wait for the ride is usually at least 45 minutes during the day, sometimes 90 minutes.
I can use a nap though.

Hope she had fun Klyd?

Early morning starts are no good for anybody.

I can vouch for this

I watched it again and got a better look at her. Very nice. That's something you can copy and she can hold on later to tell everyone she was on tv.

We have a collection of sme tv shots for her. When she was 1-2, we would go to our local AA baseball team's games and the news crew would always take a shot of her and place the footage between highlights. We'd be sure to tape the 11:00 news.

BTW, Larry Hoff, the tv personality from the Morning Show was a very nice guy, and had a lot of fun with the kids during the stretches of time when they were not filming.

How could you guys see which was Kly's daugher??? At least not close-up.

Anyway, wow, what a ride. You'd never catch me on one of those. Damn, talk about scary, nothing on either side of you and too damn high for me. I'd be doing a whole lot of screaming that's for sure.

I am a total ride weenie. My kids love rides and amusement parks, and I'm terrified the whole time.

Klyd, this sounds like the girls had a once in a lifetime opportunity - and you have it on film forever. You can't get much better than that.

Wow, I read that wrong the first time.

So she doesn't like to ride weenies?

All this talk of weenies is making me blush

My co-worker's grandmother turns 101 today. Her local newspaper did an article on her. She looks darn good for her age. I don't want to live to be 101, but wish I could get around like she does now.

Wow, she doesn't look 101 at all. How wonderful that is. God bless her.

I can NOT imagine living to be that old, although I'd have no problem with it, as long as I were feeling pretty good. It's hard to imagine how many little aches/pains you'd accumulate by 101 isn' it? But still, yea...as long as you feel good, that's so wonderful.

I met her when she came to Baltimore a couple years ago. She's a spry one. You can imagine the stories my coworker has. Living through the depression she does not like waste. She'll have 2 bites left from a biscuit and will wrap it in paper towel and put it in the refrigerator. She'll clean the refrigerator weeks later and have to throw it out. She also will not wear new slippers she brought her. She brought Dr. Shol's and glued them to the bottom of her old worn out pair and wears those. Bless her heart!

I'm drunk.

Been a while since I posted on here.

My Steelers play your Colts Nov. 9. Steelers will help end Peyton's dream of another SB.

Amen.

Yeah Longneck, you're lucky the Colts aren't playing the Raiders. Peyton's dreams would be over for sure.

Will the Steelers even make the playoffs this year? Toughest schedule in the league but they aren't as good as the Colts (2nd toughest). Stillers couldn't beat a Colts division rival in the wildcard last year. Won the division by the skin of your teeth, and I think the Browns may give you a run for your money in the division and playoff spots in the AFC are hard to come by when the AFC South takes 3 of them.



I'm thinking of starting a pool on who Bob Sanders will make cry first...

Oh, and make sure Big Ben wears a helmet.



Haven't the Raiders done enough? (Tuck Rule)

My daughters and I went to a Rod Stewart concert Friday and had so much fun. Loved it!!!!





TIS

Did he dance around with his walker?

Ha ha ha

No, I'm happy to say neither Rod nor myself needed a walker to dance around. It was wonderful!!!

The toughest schedule is welcome. That's why they are called the Men of Steel. Winning the Division is winning hte Division. The Steelers lost the widcard game in the last few soeconds only because of a QB run. Big Ben brought them back with 337 yards. Next to Brady he had the second highest QB rating inthe NFL along with 32 TDs. This year they've got additional backfield help and a dynOmite receiver in Sweed. Now, what have the Colts got besides Manning?

Happy Birthday Don Zadjali if you read this, have a great day...

That's a good one...but I am pretty sure you were actually serious, so here goes.

You may have heard of Marvin Harrison. Future Hall of Fame receiver, good with a gun. Only uses it in matters of business.

There's another guy...he's been improving on his stats every year since he entered the league in 2002. Oh yeah, Reggie Wayne.

Dallas Clark. TE or slot receiver?

I guess an O-Line that has been in the bottom 5 for sacks allowed over the last who knows how many years (with an immobile QB) should get an honorable mention.

On defense there's a little guy named Bob, hits like a Mack truck. Sets the tone for Marlin Jackson and Kelvin Hayden, physical corners and Antoine Bethea, the other safety.

Sackmasters Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis at the DE positions. Raheem Brock and a young guy who started every game as a rookie last year. Undrafted free agent Ed Johnson.

Not to take anything away from the LBs Hagler, Keiahlo, and Brackett but we also have a defensive scheme that allows us to plug in a lot of different guys at linebacker and not lose a beat.

Ah yes, there's a young guy named Addai who is pretty good. He's backed up by Dominic Rhodes, Kenton Keith, and rookie Mike Hart from Michigan.

Not to mention the consistency of the coaching staff and GM. Bill Polian? Yeah, he's pretty good at his job.

So, aside from Peyton Manning the Colts have a team full of playmakers and depth with a consistent coaching staff and offensive/defensive schemes as well as the best GM in the business who knows how to build a winner. One of the youngest teams in the league too, so you can be jealous of how awesome the Colts are for years to come.

BREAKING NEWS..... Morgan Freeman was injured in a car accident. Apparently he was driving somewhere to promote "The Dark Knight". No word yet on his condition.
