Cool! I take it the 2 thumbs-up means you liked them?

Yup, that's how it be!

You're right, I do think you're making that up! J/K! Actually, your story is quite plausible because I DID notice that your sweat stains were more sprinkly looking than splotchy. Ok, I'm going to believe you Glenn, it was drizzling that left those marks, not your excessive moisture.

It does. I loved that pavillion, it's gorgeous inside! It's like traveling without actually have to travel, seeing all these countries in the WS.

I'm glad you got your reservations done. Don't they know that everything's supposed to be "Rosie" for you?

Yep...good eye catching the "2" thumbs up.

It was probably half me, half precipitation. I remember it being misty when we were back by Marrakesh.

Yeah, who needs internatinal travel?

We're not all brave enough to streak in front of Disney park buses.

You take a laptop in there?

The Uncle John's Bathroom Reader series is the way to go. (No pun intended, but very appreciated!)

this is true, it takes a special breed to do something like that.

no, to big and bulky, we were talking about the laptop right.

Great update G-Dawg!

Love the photo re-creations.

Something about a library book being the bathroom book

[All7OfUs]

I know it's been like 2 pages since I've piped in over here, so just making sure you know I'm still reading along. As for that "architecture"... er, um, well, er, that's quite impressive!

First, I promised to give you the Epcot pay phone numbers I jotted down. They are:

Thank You!

Maybe if it's wet they have fewer showings due to safety concerns?

I have a few pictures of me two weeks earlier in WS that look very similar.

It is our duty as parents to scar our children.

So, we booked it over to the American Pavilion and grabbed some floor.

It's cool you got to see them. Missed out on our trip but we thought our little ones were getting a bit antsy to sit through it.

Ahhh. I had to sing that in state male ensemble. A toughie accapella. So tough for us high school students that we messed it up in front of 700 people or so.

It comes and goes. There are many examples in trip reports here of older teens getting excited to see characters.

(Good luck getting that out of your head now!)

Another song we sang in high school...thanks.

I love impromptu poses! Marlene really seems to be enjoying your company during this part of the trip.

Maybe you should have said evil grin?

It's so very pretty around China. We spent the most time visiting that area between Norway and China on our trip.

....I know I will.

Yeah, "special breed" is a good way to put it.

I was talking about a laptop, were you?

Are you talking about an actual public library, or do you call the bathroom "the library"?

I figure it's got all of the other books in it.

Hi palofeeyore and !! Thanks for letting me know you're reading, I appreciate it.

By the way, it took me a few seconds to get your screen name. I was reading it as "pay" "low" "fee" "yore".

But on the bright side, if you can't find it in the stacks, you know where to look!

And to think that Pat, of all people, was the one who brought that subject into the conversation.

I don't think it had started getting rainy yet, but my memory of the weather around that point in time is a little sketchy. You could be right.

Oh yeah? All hunky and buff?

Private Glennbo reporting for duty.

That was probably a wise move. The acoustics in there great for the singers, but probably also for antsy kids.

Hmmm, after that, maybe you will walk alone.

In ensemble, or just goofing around?

Well of course she was.

Maybe I should have said something different. "Evil"..."maniacal"..."pouty"....."surly teen".

We still have more to explore there.

Have you ever read Chuck Norris' autobiography? It's called The Guiness Book of World Records.

No more blinking -- better start propping your eyelids open with toothpicks.

I'm sure this is what the inventors (Al Gore?) were thinking of. Doesn't it seem like every great invention is like a double-edged sword, with the power to better mankind....or lead to the downfall of civilization? Which is this an example of?
