It was fun!

The new Disneyland Monorail

Sock Monkey chillin on the Disneyland Monorail

We went to Disneyland over the weekend with family. It was lots of fun.
We went on the attractions. We ate cupcakes.



We rode the monorail.
We saw a gigantic monkey made from Legos.

We ate dinner at the Disneyland Hotel.
The grownups hung out at the bar most of the evening.
They really had fun.

Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth.
Happy Holidays!

    The museum houses a one of its kind Sock Monkey exhibit entitled, The Missing Link: Socks, Monkeys and Rockford's Industrial Past. The museum's collection of Sock Monkey history dates back to 1870's with an up-to-date exhibit of all things Sock Monkey.

    If you can't make it to Rockford next year, you can always shop at the museum's online Sock Monkey store.

    Monkey Business is almost here!

    Contact Info

    Effective December 8, 2009

    As a result of ongoing harassment and stalking by a Psycho attorney of the Sedgwick Detert Moran & Arnold law firm, I can no longer open email from the public. This attorney hired computer hackers to intrude into my private computer network, which includes but is not limited to sending me infected links and trojan viruses via email. Psycho Attorney has also gained unlawful access to my address books and social networking sites. He's resorted to "Spear Phishing" and impersonation of my friends and acquaintances in order to manipulate me into opening email purportedly from a "trusted source."

    You may contact me by U.S. Mail at the address listed below. Be sure to state your name with a return address or phone number if you expect a reply.

    I've received numerous blog comments from certain individuals desiring to speak with me. As stated, supra, I cannot click on any links. Please understand why I never responded to your messages. You may leave a message for me at the following number. I will check the voicemail system as every four hours. Leave a message at 702-420-0723.

    For security reasons you will never reach me directly. Computer hackers have unlawfully obtained my private phone numbers in order to make anonymous hang up telephone calls to my present location. The ring transmits radio signals designed to trigger malicious scripts and/or viruses injected into my websites, which are stored in my computer. Therefore the message phone line is silent for security reasons.

    Please leave your name, return phone number and a brief message when you call. Don't block your phone number or I will delete your message without listening to it.

    Thank you for your understanding.
