Yesterday was a good day. My wife, Deana, came
through her procedure with flying colors. Everything is fine she will need to
adjust medications but everything physically is fine.
Today is a good day. My daughter, Allison, is 21
years old today. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Allison was nine the first
time we visited Walt Disney World and her brother, Matt, was four. Allison has
always been my buddy, when she was little she travelled to football games with
me, if I liked something, she liked it, she really was, and is, daddy’s little
girl. Over the weekend we went to Morehead State University for my son’s band
concert (first chair tenor sax in the top honor band) and we visited the park
where I used to take Allison to play. I don’t care how old she is; I will
always hear her yelling, “To the moon daddy, push me to the moon.” Happy
birthday.

2012: Where did the little kids go?
This is Love Your Pet Day. Our oldest pet is Duchess;
we got her when we came back from our first Walt Disney World trip in 2001. She
was in a rescue mission. I wanted a six-toed cat but Duchess reached out and
grabbed Deana and sealed the deal. Duchess is now 15 years old. She lives in
two cardboard boxes next to our refrigerator… and our cats Spider and JoJo
don’t. Duke, our dog, does not come inside unless it’s to steal the cats’ food
and run back out. If you go to Walt Disney World, you can take your pet. The
kennel is a wonderful place to stay and you visit your pet every day during
your trip.
Today is National Hoodie Hoo Day. To keep winter
to a minimum, everyone should go outside and scare old man winter away by
yelling, “Hoodie Hoo!” I’ll sit in here with my hot cuppa Irish Breakfast Tea,
you tell me how the yelling works out. If you’re really serious about escaping
winter, you know where to go… WDW.
Today is Kurt Cobain’s birthday. He was born in
1967. Walt Disney World is not Nirvana but it can help you reach a calm state.
Brian Littrell was born on this date in 1975, in
Lexington, Kentucky. Brian was a member of the Backstreet Boys who have done a
number of things with Disney as recently as the 2012 Christmas Parade. Brian is
also a solo artist, touring and recording as a contemporary Christian singer.
In this capacity he has performed at the Night of Joy at Walt Disney World, a
two-night Christian Music event that has bounced between the Magic Kingdom and
Hollywood Studios. So why don’t you bounce between the Magic Kingdom and
Hollywood Studios? Let me suggest a park hopper ticket.
Finally, on this date in1946 Sandy Duncan, the
voice of Vixey in Disney's The Fox and the Hound, was born in
Henderson, Texas. Her Disney credits include the comedy feature The
Million Dollar Duck, the 1974 television special Sandy in Disneyland, the 1976 holiday program Christmas
in Disneyland, and The Cat From Outer Space. Though not a Disney production, Sandy also starred in the title role of
Peter Pan. I now direct you to the most unbelievably long line at Walt
Disney World, the line for Peter Pan’s Flight. Hint: go to the Magic Kingdom
during early morning extra magic hours, go directly to the ride and walk on.
You’ll thank me later. I accept cash.
Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
