Grumpy Old Fool's Semi-Magical (I'll settle for whimsical) Gathering - May 21-28, 2005
We're off to honor The Rodent next week.
I think that this trip has been in the planning stages longer than any WDW trip we've taken. Of course, it involves 12 people flying in from three airports and staying in not one but two - two-bedroom units at Old Key West, so it's one big cahuna of an undertaking.
So we have my wife, our daughter (who is taking her last final of her second year at collage as I write this), and my son, who lives in Philadelphia and works as a research engineer at an artificial intelligence lab (yes, I've asked him to get me some free samples - old joke). Then there's my mother-in-law, The Amazing Marge. I won't give her age, but let's say that she was a fan of Rudy Vali, and still goes to more parties in a month than my wife and I go to in two years.
That's the New Jersey group, or condo #1. Condo #2 consists of my sister-in-law, my niece, her husband and three children (ages 3 to 11), and my niece's mother-in-law. All hail from northern Washington.
My wife made a Priority Seating for all 12 of us EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK except Wednesday (that's the night we have our heads examined). In addition, we're all booked for a fireworks cruise one night, and my son, daughter and I are booked for the World Showcase Segway Tour one morning. Most of us are going to pay a visit to Universal on Wednesday.
I'm looking forward to a nice, relaxing vacation.
If you should happen to see me that week, walk over and say hi. Bring Valium. I'll have my Big Green Domke camera bag on my shoulder. It's not lime green (sorry), but it's green.
I'll have my laptop with me and will try to post some messages when everyone else is asleep.
