Being with my family at Disney World has moved blogging to the bottom of my to-do list. However, right now, my wife and kids are taking shelter from the sun as I wait in a seemingly endless line for ice cream.

My BlackBerry allowed me to keep an eye on the whoopin' the Bengals applied to the Bears on Sunday. It felt like each time I refreshed the browser on my phone, the Bengals had scored another touchdown.

The offense could not be stopped on the ground or through the air. Cedric Benson ran over, around, and through his former team. Carson Palmer and his corps of receivers shredded the Bears secondary.

Because of the heat, I opted for a simple Bengals t-shirt instead of my usual gameday jersey. That t-shirt and the Bengals playing so well prompted many a "Who Dey" cheers from other people at the park. There were numerous encounters with people asking if I had heard the score or if I could believe how well the Bengals were playing.

It was great to see other people in Bengals attire so far away from home. I guess it really is a small world after all.
