He still runs Ironman triathlons and speed skates competitively, so he is a good example of age not slowing you down 
My brother drives a desk too, but has been super focused on health for many years. It provides excellent stress relief from his job and other challenging aspects of life with great health benefits too. I guess my life isn't stressful enough as I still don't exercise enough or eat as healthy as he doesUncleScrooge477 wrote:Ha! I feel like I've aged 20 years in the last two! Driving a desk as an administrator started that slide, I think. I need to diet, exercise, be good, etc etc etc. I played volleyball until I was 47, but knees, back, arms, joints, can only take so much!
Good idea about calling the restaurants! I'll see what I can find, and report back here if I find anything neat or unusual.
Narccossee's and California Grill did a very nice job for my parents' 60th anniversary in December, but the Grill will be closed for rennovations.
Then again, I have seen cupcake crawls, beers of the world tours, etc. Maybe I'll just do a day-long chocolate crawl, starting and ending at Ghiardelli's...
My other brother lives in Cali and climbs mountains on his weekends so he is at least one up on me as well!Have you had a chance to try any of those yet Soarin'? Do they offer CM discounts for the really fancy meals?Soarin08 wrote:Kouzzina and Citrico's both have a chef table. And V&A'S Queen Victoria Room is a brilliant- if not better- alternative to their chef table, it's the same price and menu in a way more intimate setting.
Congrats! If you find someone than can get you into Club 33, let them know I'll pay double if they can get me in tooUncleScrooge477 wrote:Quick Update - I was able to book the Chef's Domain at Citrico's. I will try to update everyone after the trip in June. Now to make Blue Bayou reservations for Disneyland in May. And see if I can find anyone to get me into Club 33 too!

Good luck! Wow! That's a lot of Disney trips ~ you lucky Duck you!UncleScrooge477 wrote:Maybe if I wear my tux and just sort of mope around the door they will take pity and let me in...but it looks like we'll be blowing the budget at WDW and Citrico's in June, so probably better if I don't get in at Club 33! And just found out I have a second conference in August at WDW, so it is a 3 for 3 year. And if you take on the Dec dinner visit for my parents' 60th wedding anniversary...WOW..
But I think you are going first, so you could try and if it works, I can dust off my finest bridesmaid dress ~ fanciest dress I own, sad but true UncleScrooge477 wrote:Well, my line of work requires suits, tuxedos, scuba gear, weekends in Monte Carlo, answering phone calls from "M", driving cool cars, and so forth. I just can't discuss on an open forum what I actually DO as a job for MI6. Rats - that got out...
Please don't kill us
