Today is National Weatherman’s Day. Listen, I
know that some of these guys are highly trained professionals but I could do
just as well looking out the window and calling my friends in Cincinnati and
asking them how the weather is there. I love the famous quote, “Everybody wants
to talk about the weather but nobody does anything about it.” So go to Walt
Disney World where the weather doesn’t matter. We have been to WDW on days when
it rained sideways and had a great day; we have been to WDW on days when it was
mid-latitude desert hot, had a great time. You just don’t approach everyday the
same way, go with the flow and keep
moving forward when things shift your way. Good weather comes and good
weather goes but the good times depend solely on you and how you react to what
happens around you. Be happy, everything seems a little bit brighter when it’s
reflecting a smile.

We have a small double boiler that we got to
make chocolate candy a few years ago. We also break it out from time to time to
crank out some nice, warm, creamy nacho cheese but today is National Chocolate
Fondue Day. The day we put food on a stick and dip it in the wonderfully sugary
and dietetically horrible chocolate sauce we all love so much. The fondue has waxed and waned in popularity but right now the chocolate fountain at Golden
Corral has to be the most popular dipping chocolate around. My son and I get
appropriate ooh’s and ahh’s when we take a vanilla ice cream cone, hit the
chocolate fountain and come away with a perfectly dipped chocolate covered
cone. No matter how many times we have done this we always get the same
response, “I never thought of trying that.” The answer is simple, think, and,
until they stop you, do. Speaking of WDW, and we always are, get a Mickey Mouse
Ice Cream bar, you don’t have to fondue, it’s been fondued (am I using a noun
as a verb?) for you. Isn’t technology wonderful?
Smile!
On February 5, 1953, Peter Pan opened at the Roxy Theater in New York City. We love Peter Pan but I am here to tell you that
this ride has the most unexplainably long line in all of Walt Disney World. The
queue here always seems to go on forever and never seems to shrink. This title
used to belong to the Dumbo ride but with the changes to the queue there, Dumbo
is entertaining and relaxing enough that you don’t mind the wait. I try to tell
my friends that have never been to Walt Disney World that waiting in line at
Disney is more fun than riding the rides at other parks. Hit the Peter Pan ride
and drift over London and Never, Never Land, understanding that why we must
grow older, we do not have to grow up.
Our own little bit of pixie dust.
Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting
for your dreams to come true.
Awesome post guus, keep at it.
