Off to California tomorrow.

This picture was on my FB page, I have never seen such a thing, hope its real because it speaks volumes.

The Motel charges for parking and internet so I am not taking my computer. If you get a post it will be text only, Lord willing I will be back to post on Sunday. There will be some Android shots on FB.

Becoming like a child

I took a College girl friend to Disney World in 1973, I remember nothing of the day. I am pretty sure the magic for us is going as young grandparents with almost as much energy and imagination as our grand children.

We of course keep a constant watch on their where abouts in relation to us, as we do not want to lose them in the crowd, and in that watch care we are rewarded with a kids eye view of the park, and we play together.

This year Laura has a book on all the Hidden Mickeys around the park, which is a very cool little feature to make you observant. She will be the all knowing one, with the cheat hints in the back of the book and we will look real hard for the tiny or abstract Mickey head and ears.

Brain Dull Today

We have been trying to use Laura's school break schedule more effectively. She has 6 weeks in the summer and 3 two week breaks fall, Christmas and Spring. We will have a five day trip later this week to relax and enjoy our grandkids, in the happiest place on earth.

I never went to Disney anything growing up, it was out of our budgetary means and not my parents vacation style.

We love the place, our little traditions and ways of seeing the park, watching the kids explore and laugh and watching people while enjoying coffee break on main street. Fantasy is harmless, child like and very fulfilling for just a little while. Another barbell picture in Toon Town.

Thoughts on watching Contagion

Here's the oldest heavy lifting picture in my set. I do not know when this was taken.

A movie about a deadly bacterial outbreak that kills millions does not sound like entertainment, but it was so well done that exploring a what if situation was fascinating.

The timeline unfolding as they searched for clues, a cure, and tried to manage the major cities where the outbreak began made for a suspensful two hours.

The fact that there were so many stars who died breaks the mold of most pictures.

The very real possibility that something like this could happen was chilling.

I would not want to be around when society collapses to the point of people killing each other for a meal. Without mutual respect and sharing we are all in deep trouble.
