A Speedy Retrospective

You know, only the last two months of the year Really Really Sucked for us.
I'll run down some of the highlights down statistically.

OH BTW there's a lot of tales I haven't told about 2016...if there's one in particular you'd like to be told first...? Let me know. As it stands, I'm thinking of taking a month or two off when B starts chemo. I might have time to tell it.






Brenda taught in five different cities over two week's time, grossing an average of oh 'bout $3200 a day*. Not that this is gonna happen again anytime soon. When all is said and done...B's leave time shall be completely liquidated. When she has a spare week again? There won't be any more working vacations involved.


_{*For SOMEBODY ELSE who'd rather have her pull down $6-7.5K a day. Please don't think WE kept that shit}


Five new amusement parks for me this year.






Six Flags Fiesta Texas (me only)






One of my briefest visits EVAR--and quite possibly the most expensive per minute in my life--Galveston Pleasure Pier.







A park FAR too oddly laid-out to fit in a single photo...Magic Springs!








Just as unphotographable but PROOF that Charming kicks Taller/Beeger/Faster's Ass....Dollywood!








And let's not forget Adventureland. Mostly cuz I won't let you.







Two new waterparks! Schlitterbahn Galveston for both of us...






...Wet and Wild Splastown (Houston) for me.

I'ma have to act like I'm watching this New Years Eve special now. TTYL!
