Not only have the online interfaces totally improved since they started the FastPass+ program a few years back. . .now the technology is actually fun. Although some of that might be due to experience and a careful planning session with my college room mate and her boyfriend a few weeks back ( Read more... )

On the way to work Friday morning a deer was poised to leap across the little road just a few minutes from my home in the village. There were no cars around so I slowed down, put on the hazard lights and opened the car window. The doe stretched her neck even further assessing the situation. She was about five feet from me ( Read more... )

Right now I'm sitting by the slider looking at the lilac tree (or as a neighbor likes to call it, the lilac pillar) because I've tied it up a bit to keep it from falling over and blocking the view at the same time. There's coffee and to my GREAT joy David Mallett CDs ( Read more... )

I've really never been one to wake up and be anything near alert. So it stands to reason that the alarm setting on my iPhone and iPod Touch is important. I use them as a following back up to my alarm clock. Once the first one goes off I turn my phone on so that the alarm set for a bit later will eventually go off.

Yes, I've posted about it before, but it bears repeating. Sugaree. . . Suuuuggggaaaareeee! Well, actually every song could be described in that way. The whole show is flail-worthyHere's a link if you're feeling so inclined. It was one giant fantabulous monster of a ( Read more... )

Busy day yesterday so didn't get around to reading the news this morning until a little bit ago. WTF . . . . . . . . . just, WTFI'm pretty much beyond words. So grateful two friends of mine in the area were not there. Thinking of all the people who were there along with their families and friends ( Read more... )

There are moments and days when choices are made and lasting changes happen. Given the flow of a life it can be hard to track them. If we’re lucky or determined it’s possible to string together the resulting times so that they comprise a set of treasured and always worn beads ( Read more... )

My little village is looking quite green and flowery lately. The sheer amount of lilacs on our property is amazing. Keeping in mind that we have only 30 units on 35 acres there's plenty of opportunity for Spring to spring. Between the beginning of the linden tree summer aroma and the lilacs going outside is a fabulous experience. One just has to ( Read more... )
