It’s hard to believe that our new grandson, Andy is almost three months old. During the first eight weeks, it didn’t seem like their was much change. Now, it is obvious he is getting bigger and smarter. He laughs regularly, tries to put together words (I could swear he says “ma ma” often), has pretty good control over his neck movements, and recognizes the people that are involved in his life.
I was driving around today in my neighborhood and saw an older guy walking his dog, leash in one hand and bag of dog doodoo in the other. That is just so wrong. Not that the guy is being responsible and picking up after his dog but that the dog poops while walking in the first place.
“An ‘idiotic plan’ to add Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters as well as an American tribute scene to Disneyland’s It’s a Small World represents a ‘gross desecration’ that would ‘bastardize’ the stylized artwork and ‘marginalize’ the original theme of the boat ride,” wrote the family of the classic attraction’s creator in an open letter to Disney executives.
I love Netflix – the ease of ordering DVDs online and getting them in your mail box. However, I am a bit disappointed in Netflix today. I checked my queue which displays all the DVDs that I have slatted to arrive soon, and 10 out of the first 15 have “waits” on them. In other words, Netflix does not have enough inventory to supply me so I have to wait for other members to return DVDs.
When conducting a vanity search today for my own name, I discovered that I have finally hit the top spot on Google. I think I’ve hit the # 1 spot on Yahoo! in the past – maybe even MSN. But really, who cares about them? Google has the vast majority of search market share so any good ranking with them is a big deal.
Most everyone that has visited the “It’s a Small World” attraction in Disneyland knows all to well that its theme song will stick with you for the rest of your day. Many would also agree that it is not as “thrilling” as Space Mountain, Indiana Jones or other thrill rides at the original theme park. However, it is nostalgic Walt Disney.
