Flyover

The Super Bowl was pretty good this year. While the game was exciting, there are some people who question the wisdom of having the Navy using four F-15s to fly over the stadium that had the retractable roof closed. The fans inside had to watch the flyover on the big screen inside.

There are estimates that it cost the taxpayers somewhere between 100,000 and 400,000 thousand dollars in gas and other expenses. The navy says the cost was worth it as the flyovers are a good recruiting tool. There are many traditionalists who say the flyovers have become a part of our culture and are expected every year.

Goodbye Guitar hero

The popular video game called Guitar Hero will soon stop being produced. The company called Blizzard Inc will stop making the game as sales are failing. The game was very popular for many years but interest has faded.

The game was fun for awhile and very profitable for the company. The problem was that it was expensive to make and many accessories are required. The company will go on though as it just released the popular “Call of Duty: Black Ops” game.

Super Bowl spending

The NFL is proud of their biggest game and they are ready to sell it to America. The good news is that many companies are buying. Spending during the Super Bowl is expected to reach a record level this year as companies are ready to put their money down to treat customers to a good time.

The Dallas-Fort Worth area is ready for the increased sales of hotel rooms, food, and drinks. They have a new stadium and are ready to receive the benefits for hosting the game. It’s good to see the economy is growing again.

iPhones

There was good news for the giant phone company Verizon Wireless today. The company started selling the iPhone and they have done very well. The company sold so many of the phones that it had to halt sales until their supply could reach demand. They plan to resume sales soon.

The Apple iPhones have been very popular with consumers. People love the phones and have been snapping them up. There have been some questions about the ability of Verizon to handle the increased capacity to run the phones but the company says the impact of will be minimal.

Gas Logs in our fireplace

The winter can be long and dark. That’s why we like to find ways to brighten it up. Around our house, we have found one great way to do just that. We use Peterson gas logs in our living room and it is working out great. There are a lot of benefits when using Gas Logs in your home. I’ll explain a few of them so that you’ll know that I’m serious.

The first benefit is that there is no mess. I don’t have a lot of extra time and I don’t want to spend the time I have cleaning ashes out of the fireplace. There is no need for that when using gas. The second good reason for using R. H. Peterson Real Fyre Gas Logs is that there is a warming effect that goes right into your living room. That makes it a cozy place to curl up and read a book or whatever.

Another thing we have done is to take advantage of Outdoor Gas Logs. We have a nice little spot in our backyard where we can gather around the fire and relax. It’s good for the family and we all enjoy that. You can find out a lot more about the subject by checking out Gas Logs FAQs. I am sure you’ll agree when you have all the information about the advantages of this technology.

Big Events

The thing that I really like about my family is that everyone is very adventurous. My son and my daughter as well as my wife like to try new things all the time. They are not as picky as some people are and will do things just because they can. That’s why I don’t mind ordering tickets to events that I would like to go to. I know they will all agree to try whatever items I present.

One of my latest inklings has been to see the circus again. I remember as a kid going to the circus and I wanted my kids to have the same memories as well. I ordered Ringling Brothers Circus Tickets online and we all had a great time. I love to see the elephants do their thing and the clowns were especially good. I was glad I went and had the chance to see my kids enjoy the show.

I have some other trips planned and both of them will be wonderful I believe. One is the Kyle Field Tickets I have and the others are the Cowboys Stadium Tickets that a friend of mine gave to me. I am sure 5that both of these events will be awesome and I hope my family enjoys them as well. I look forward to going to additional events in the future. It will all be great I’m sure and I hope everyone can take their families as well.

Keeping Busy

One thing that really made the internet was the ability for people to play games. There are so many to choose from and there are many that are free and fun. I like that a lot and so does my son and daughter. One game that my son really likes to play is called boxhead 2. He can usually be found playing the game with his friends in his room. They love the game and play it all the time.

I must admit that my son does branch out from time to time and he and his friends can be found playing a game called age of war. They all like that game as well and spend many hours playing it. It can be hard for me to get him to do his homework, but as long as he keeps his grades up I don’t mind. My daughter spends time on the internet herself and I’ll tell you about that.

One thing my daughter is interested in is making money. She babysits whenever she can so she can have money to spend on the clothes she wants. Another thing she does is called blogging for money. She makes a few extra bucks each week doing that. I ma not sure what it is exactly, but she likes to do it and I think that’s great. I’m just glad my kids keep busy doing things they like to do!

The hobbits

The Lord of the Rings trilogy has been a huge success. The three part series has had movie goers flocking to the theater for the last several years. The only question was what was next for the director Peter Jackson and the continuation of the last part of the story that includes the story of “The Hobbit’.

The good news is that several of the actors from the original series have agreed to work on the latest film. This will mean that the story will go on with the same actors as before. I am sure the newest addition to the series will be a success and the legacy of J.R.R Tolkien will live on.

No Snow

Since the winter weather is setting in, I was thinking that maybe I needed to get out of the area for awhile. It would be nice to take a break from the snow and go somewhere else. The only real problem I had was deciding where I wanted to go. I was talking with a friend at work and he mentioned that there were many resorts in Myrtle Beach that were very nice. I liked the idea and decided to check it out.

The first break I got, I went online and started looking around. I found a site called http://avistaresort.com. The site described all the great things about visiting that area and their proximity to the many golf courses that are there. I thought that it would really be nice to play some golf while I was there.

I guess my mind was pretty well made up that I would go on vacation soon. I just had to find the right Myrtle Beach hotel for me. I knew that wouldn’t be hard and I did it easily. I am looking forward to my vacation and to having a break. I know I will have a great time and that I will come back refreshed and ready to face the snow again.

My Trip

Every year I like to treat myself to a little fun. Like the old saying goes “all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy”. My name is not Johnny, but I could use a bit of fun anyway. I was trying to think of what I wanted to do this year for my vacation when I thought about playing a game or two of golf. The only question was where I should go to play.

A friend of mine from work suggested that I should check out Myrtle Beach. He had recently visited the area and told me about the golf packages Myrtle Beach that were available. It sounded like a great idea and since I trust his opinion, I decided to look into the situation. I went online and found a site called http://www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com/. I liked what I was seeing and so I read on.

I saw that there were a number of places I could go. The best part was that there are many golf courses right in that area. Just get on the computer and put in www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com and go from there. I couldn’t think of a better combination of things than the beach and golf together. I knew my mind was made up and that my trip would soon be planned. I guess I’ll be letting you know how it all turns out!
