There are many things families can do over the summer. You can go to the beach. You can take a cruise. You can go to the local amusement park. How about a free concert? If you are from Jersey and or will be in the area and you are looking for things to do in Jersey you should check out the Radio Disney Summer Concert Series which is going to be held in Wildwood at Morey’s Piers in July. If you have a kid I am sure you are familiar with Radio Disney. They play all the music from favorites like Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. Now you can take your kid to see some of their favorite groups. You know there won’t be any problems with explicit lyrics so the concert is good for kids of all ages. The concerts are taking place on 7/7, 7/14 and 7/21 and they are all free. They are going to take place at the Radio Disney Stage next to the Giant Ferris Wheel on Morey’s Pier Landing. 7/26 is the big concert featuring Raven Simone and Mitchell Musso from Hanna Montana. You have to have a ticket for that concert but with your ticket you get $10 off a ticket to Raging Waters or Ocean Oasis or $10 off an amusement pier wristband for Morey’s Piers or $15 off a one-day splash and ride combo ticket. How is that for a deal? Why not make a mini vacation for the family and check out a concert. There are plenty of Wildwood nj hotels and I am sure you can find one in your price range.

I am trying to sell some furnitiure on Craigs List. I listed the items on Monday. yesterday I got a response from an interested party. His first response sounded legit. He just wanted to know if it was still for sale. Last night he sent another e-mail this one a bit more suspicious. I had some free time so I composed an answer. I don’t think he will respond but if he does I will let you know.
Suspicious E-mail from Micheal Smith

My Response
Your offer of an additional $200 is very generous. However, if you cannot pay cash I will have to raise the price to $2,500. The following is an itemized breakdown of the charges:
$650 Furniture
$200 Additonal- you offered so I will gladly accept
$750 Fuel/Transportation Charge- the closest Office Depot is 7.5 miles away, 15 miles roundtrip. I estimate that the fuel charge and wear and tear on the car would work out to $50 per mile.
$400 Meals- driving makes me hungry and I will need to eat after driving to Office Depot
$250 Snacks- driving makes me thirsty and it is hot out so I will need to stop in to a 7-11 and grab a Slurpee and some Corn Nuts
$250 Incidental Fees- my wife doesn’t understand business like we do and it will be very hard to explain this business transaction to her. It is easier to give her $250 and tell her to shut up and go shopping. $250 should be enough to buy her silence.
Shopping for a person that has everything? Well they probably don’t have a ghost in a bottle. A company is selling bottles that allegedly have a ghost in it. They use professional ghost catchers to wrangle the spirits into the bottles and then make them available to the public. I may need to get one. I can put it on the shelf next to my pet rock.
If you have a Wii then you need this game. I was a little skeptical when I heard about it but I have to tell you I think it is one of the best games out there for the Wii. It comes with the Wii wheel whcih takes some getting used to but I now prefer the wheel. You can always use a standard controller but I have become used to the feel of the wheel. The best feature is being able to challenge people using your Wi-Fi connection. I can race my friends and never leave the comfort of my own home. The only thing that would make it better is a head set so I could communicate to my friends as I race. Normally I am just yelling at my television. It would be nice to yell at them.
I came across Orb a few days ago. You go their website and download their application. The setup was quick and easy. Once you have your account setup it will allow you to stream your music, picture and movie files to other devices. I set it up and quickly was viewing a slideshow of my pictures on my Blackberry. You can also use your game consoles to access your files turning them into media centers. I turned my Wii on. Went to the internet channel and in a few minutes had accessed my account and was viewing more of my pictures and home movies. It was easy to setup. I just don’t know how legal it all is. Sure I can view my own pictures with no problems but I wonder how the RIAA feels about the ability to stream music?
If you are in the market for a ouija board and you are a fan of the tiki, Vampirahna makes a tiki ouija board. It is a little on the pricey side at $99 but they are only available in limited quantities. Of course there is the theory that ouija boards let you communicate with demons and not friendly spirits you are wanting to communicate with. I don’t necessarily buy that but there is no sense taking a chance. I’ve seen The Exorcist and the last thing I need is to have some polynesian demon pissed at me.
While in Oahu Mrs. Mai Tai and I rented a car. We took a drive to the windward side of the island. I was looking for the North Shore because I wanted to see the surfers and the big waves. Here is a tip for all you travelers. There are no signs telling you when you have arrived at the North Shore so make sure you know where your going. Otherwise you will drive right by it like we did. Driving makes me hungry and I decided we needed some food. We started to see lots of shrimp trucks. If there was just one I would have probably would have just driven by and stopped somewhere else but when you see so many you think that that they can’t be half bad. Plus we don’t have shrimp trucks in Orlando and it meets my criteria of places to eat when on vacation. When on vacation you should avoid national chains at all cost. You can go there anytime. The place should if at all possible be local and unique. We stopped at a bright yellow truck that said Shrimp Shack on it. They had a dining area right next to it. We both ordered some garlic shrimp with rice and had some corn on the cob as a side. It was really good. If you find yourself on the windward side of the island and are hungry try one out for yourself.
