January 31, 2013: Justin time.

Lawrence County was released from school one hour early yesterday because of rising water. We have dozens of reasons to miss school. It really is weird. We, of course, miss for snow days, flood days, tornado days, broken water main days, burned up water pump days, sludge from a containment pond in our water days… and more. We’ll have to wait and see if school is on or off for today.

Today is Suzanne Pleshette’s birthday. Pleshette was Bob Newhart’s television wife in the 1970s and the voice of Zira in The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride. She was also in a host of Disney comedies including The Shaggy D.A., The Ugly Dachshund and Blackbeard’s Ghost. Let’s head over to Animal Kingdom and visit the live Lion King show.

In 1981, the Disney universe and popular music gained a true star, Justin Timberlake. Justin was one of The All New Mickey Mouse Club and ‘N Sync but I think I enjoy him most as a super guest on Saturday Night Live. My advice, hit Hollywood Studios. Back in the MGM days I seem to remember ‘N Sync doing a street show / concert on the Disney Channel. Let’s just say I’m right and party in the ‘Wood.

 A world without the hat???

Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
