We had a great day in Lexington today even with
thunder and lightning and rain and delays and moving to an indoor tennis venue.
Matt played a very tough opponent and got knocked out but he is staying until
Saturday to enjoy the entire tournament. We hope that everyone has a great time
but it’s back to school for us today.
1908: Ralph Wright is born in Grants Pass,
Oregon. Wright was a writer and director for Disney but he also was the voice
of Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh and the
Honey Tree and Winnie the Pooh and
the Blustery Day. Check out the Pooh attraction at The Magic Kingdom.
1950: Howard Ashman was born in Baltimore,
Maryland. Ashman co-produced The Little
Mermaid and wrote many of the songs including “Under the Sea” with Alan
Menken. Earlier, Ashman worked with Menken on the musical Little Shop of Horrors. Other Disney credits include: Oliver & Company, Beauty and the Beast and
Aladdin. Many feel that his greatest
work was on Beauty and the Beast so
let’s go see the show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
1909: Dr. Julius Miller was born in Bellerica,
Massachusetts. Miller, a physicist, author and lecturer, was a student and
friend of Dr. Albert Einstein. Miller also played Professor Wonderful on
syndicated reruns of The Mickey Mouse
Club. Let’s do something all science oriented and visit Ellen’s Energy
Adventure at EPCOT featuring another Disney science guy, Bill Nye.
Quickies:
1846: The saxophone was patented by Antoine
Joseph Sax. Go to The Magic Kingdom and enjoy the saxophone quartet on Main

Today is Endangered Species Day. Make a
contribution to the Disney Nature Conservancy at various locations around the
world.

Driving Experience in the parking lot of The Magic Kingdom.
Remember, your best
excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
