I don't normally post responses back to people in specific on here because it's impossible to reply to everyone who posts. Although it appears Utahmama is making a run at it. If I did reply to every post, I know inevitably I'd forget to respond to someone and unwittingly hurt his or her feelings. So I don't do it.
Except, I'm doing it now.
NicoleMarie: thank you. I sincerely appreciate your encouragement. I'm grateful and humbled that anything I write is of any encouragement or brings any joy to fellow travelers (forgive the sorry pun). I would that I was a "great man of God." I am but a man. If there is anything good or anything praiseworthy about me, then I'm confident you know Who is the author of that goodness. I worry sometimes that people read my writing and are left with the false impression that I am above reproach. I am not. Ask anyone who knows me in real life. They'll tell you. As I said up front, I am a flawed creature who needed a Savior. As we all do.
To borrow a phrase from Sheridac: I know that you know that. I just wanted to make sure it was clear that I'm not perfect or even great, nor do I think I am.
Shelby: I note with interest that apparently EVERYONE is invited to the Maelstrom January meet but the ZZUBs?! That will be reflected in your permanent record. If indeed you have a permanent record. And I'm granted access to it.
And as long as I'm here:
Cass: yes, that is scaffolding. That's the hazard of going to Disney anymore. Everything is being rehabbed. I tried to take photos around it, but as you'll observe in some pictures I post later, it was unavoidable.
MommyPoppins: did you post something? For some reason, whenever you post on the Trip Report board, I have trouble reading it. Odd.

Still don't know what this means, but I can't help using it.
