I hope we get a Mickey Mouse trip report from him. That's one muscular looking dog, but it must have been terrifying for your sister. Interesting about the hammer solution. Wow. I am in NYC overlooking the Hudson River where, yesterday, I talked to a man who was fishing for and catching and eating striped bass out of the Hudson. My friend has been taking pictures for my first and future trip report and sending them to my drop box, but I can't figure out how to get them into a format that I can then copy to hubski. Anyone reading this who has an easy set of instructions, please pm me. Imagine I'm your grandmother and you're trying to explain to her how to post a jpeg on to hubski.
No Mickey Mouse trip report coming. I shan't disgrace these pages with such nonsense. What I will say is that I was on a noble mission fulfilling the dream of a five year old niece, princesses and all. Some things one has to swallow one's pride for. I do not, for the record, own a minivan.
I actually can't wait to take my kids to Disney. I imagine that it's heaven for them and that seeing them actively using their imaginations and fully buying in to the fantasy of it all would be pretty kick-ass.
There's a strange dichotomy between joy and revulsion. The first morning we were there, I had my niece on my shoulders for the pre-Magic Kingdom opening song and dance featuring Mickey and Minnie. The happiness she and the hundreds of other kids around her were experiencing was intense, and was really cool to be a part of with her. On the other hand, the waste, glut and contrivance of the whole park makes me want to puke. By day three I was starting to get a strange sense of anxiety, and I'm not in any way a very anxious person. Also, it sucks to pay $8.75 for beers.

Just riffing on the joke you started (and I've edited), you should (hopefully) know that I don't consider you grandmotherly, or even motherly. I think of you otherly. Meaning, you're like no other person I know. -In the best possible way. edit: Let me know if it works for you as I described it.
