Press release dated April 3, 2000
Walt Disney World! The Everglades! New York City!We're sure you already know this, since you've probably been marking the days on your calendars, but it's been seven months since we last updated The Alexander Home Page. Yes, the earth has revolved on its axis more than 200 times since we thrilled you with our account of Alex's visit to Spain. We apologize for our tardiness. We know full well what a hardship this has been for you all. We're aware that for many people, The Alexander Home Page provides the one ray of sunshine in their otherwise bleak, grey, dismal lives. For those of you who feel that way (and you know who you are) we have news that will tingle your spine. THE ALEXANDER HOME PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED! Our latest update reaches all the way back to the busy month of October 1999, when Alex spent a day in New York City, and also celebrated his third birthday. We'll take you to the top of the Empire State Building, to the Central Park Zoo, and then back to Alex's house for a slice of "horsey cake" and a plastic ear of corn. It's old-fashioned fun, Alexander Home Page style!
We then skip ahead to December, when Alex held his fourth annual meeting with Santa Claus. You know what Alex looks like, and you probably know what Santa Claus looks like, but here's a rare chance to see them together. New York City! Alex's birthday! Santa Claus! These three items alone are more than worth the price of admission. But there's more, much more! In January 2000 Alex visited the world's most popular tourist attraction - Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. (Perhaps you've heard of it!) See Alex in the Magic Kingdom, at EPCOT, and at Disney MGM Studios. Take a look at the Animal Kingdom theme park! See Alex and his cousins in a Lego frenzy at Downtown Disney. And our account of Alex's breakfast with Mickey Mouse is so vivid you'll actually taste the maple syrup on Alex's pancakes! You may have seen Disney World before, but you've never seen it through the eyes of Alexander! We know that by now you must be absolutely breathless with anticipation. But, hard as it may be to believe, there's still more! While in Florida, Alex made a side trip to Florida's Everglades. Don't miss the terrifying tale of Alex's encounter with a wild alligator! And, finally, we have a sneak glimpse of the brand new home that Alex will be moving into later this month. So sit back, catch your breath, and visit The Alexander Home Page at http://www.leaptoad.com/ahp If you miss all this excitement, you'll have no one to blame but yourself! |

They're two little bundles of sugar and spice and everything nice, and they can be found only on The Alexander Home Page! So don't hesitate. Visit The Alexander Home Page today!

Return to the Bronx ZooWe may owe you an apology. Just three short weeks ago, when we last updated The Alexander Home Page, we promised you that our next update would feature highlights of Alexander’s Big Vacation. Well, we were wrong. It’s not that we won’t be showcasing the big vacation. It’s just that we surprised ourselves, and the world at large, by sneaking in another update before Alex has even departed on his trip. That’s right! THE ALEXANDER HOME PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED! It’s true! You’re not dreaming! There has been a special bonus update of the world’s favorite web site! Visit The Alexander Home Page at You’ll find out what Alex got for his mother on Mother’s Day! You’ll read about Alex’s triumphant return to the Bronx Zoo! And you’ll see Alex photographed with one of the world’s most famous clowns! We assure you, there will be no further updates until after Alex has returned from his huge fabulous vacation. The Surgeon General has requested that we refrain from updating The Alexander Home page too frequently. Studies have shown that the cumulative effect of too much euphoria can cause increased pulse rates and heart palpitations that may lead to hospitalization. So check out The Alexander Home Page. But please, do it in a safe, responsible manner. Thank you. |

Recent Photographs of AlexanderThe Alexander Home Page has been updated. New features include a set of recent photos of Alexander, and a look at Alex's favorite Disney movies. Also, as is customary, we present a revised list of the things that Alexander enjoys. We invite you to visit The Alexander Home Page at http://www.leaptoad.com/ahp. Longtime readers may be surprised at the relatively mild tone of this announcement. True, it lacks much of the bombast and hyperbole that often accompany Alexander Home Page update announcements. Why is this, you ask? The answer is quite simple. Our current update is a minor one, featuring a mere seven photographs. Most of the staff here at LeapToad.com have been busily preparing for our next update, which is scheduled for release sometime this summer. Alexander is planning his biggest, longest, and most ambitious vacation yet, and The Alexander Home Page is, as always, committed to bringing all the excitement to your computer screen. When next you hear from us, and we assure you, gentle reader, hear from us you shall, all the pulse-pounding energy you've grown accustomed to will return in full force. So enjoy The Alexander Home Page today. And brace yourself for what tomorrow will bring…
