It was an eventful summer. Took my first trip to Walt Disney's place in 25 years. I was impressed...but since I'm impressed by a dog dropping a batch, that isn't saying much.
Some quick highlights:
- While I was there with E, we managed to find this restaurant called Seasons52. One of the best restaurants I have ever visited. Each dish has under 475 calories and the prices were reasonable. It's too bad they only have franchises in Georgia and Florida though. I am considering driving down there just for some Black Ponzu Cod.
- Caught a showing of Cirque du Soleil. Thinking it was a glorified high school gymnastics competition, I wasn't expecting much from this show. It was well worth the price of admissions (especially when E paid for the tickets). Recommended for anyone traveling to the Orlando area.
- Best park was Epcot (although MGM was a close second). They have a World Showcase with about 10 countries surrounding this huge pond. The coolest thing was the people who worked in each "county" were actually from that country. Unless their nametags were lying to us. I don't think Walter D's ancestors would do that to us.
Would he?
First day back to work tomorrow. Is it June yet?
Lastly, the cancer advocacy organzation for which I volunteer is having a BBQ on October 14th. More info to come....but clear those schedules, please!

Cat,
My thoughts on Cirque du Soleil have always been similar to what your preconceptions are.
I'm baffled that it's apparently not a French circus or gymnastics show.
Can you elaborate on its majesty?
Words can not describe that show.
The only thing that would equal the amazement of this show would be Notre Dame scoring an offensive touchdown this season.
Cats hanging from dame on tightropes....Asian girls doing backhand-springs while playing with paddle-like toys....a dude doing a handstand on the top of a 30-foot-high pile of chairs.....cats and dogs living together....MASS HYSTERIA!!!
