  • Comments: I did 6.65 @ 7:59

My wife and I enjoyed an extended get-a-way at the Disneyland Resort last weekend.  The Grand Californian was very nice and Disney did a great job on their new Cars Land – we only waited 135 (daytime) then 120 minutes (nighttime) for the Radiator Springs Racers (the main attraction.)  That wasn’t too bad for a new ride – I read that on opening day, the wait was 300+ minutes at times…!  [Fast Passes were gone by 0900!]

Anyway, the weather was perfect and I did come home with a requisite Mickey Mouse t-shirt as well as two bags of my favorite Dark Chocolate Covered Mickey Mouse Pretzels!

Oh, I did discover one other “souvenir” – a product of our impromptu Disney character breakfast yesterday.  While running this morning, I couldn’t get this song out of my head:

There was a farmer who had a dog
And Bingo was his name-o
B-I-N-G-O

[insert laughter, knowing that everyone reading this is now, at this very moment, humming this tune in their head…  Mwahahahaahhaha!]

No Knitting Zone*

“Stepping outside the comfort zone is the price I pay to find out how good I can be. If I planned on backing off every time running got difficult I would hang up my shoes and take up knitting.”

*No offense to the wonderfully-skilled knitters of the world…

This evening, I used this to read some fine print.

I was trying to enhance rather than magnify…yeah, that’s the ticket!
