Today is Citizenship Day and Constitution Day: a day
to recognize the framing of the Constitution in 1787 and recognize all
residents of the United States who have acquired citizenship by birth or
naturalization. Celebrate being a citizen of a country of laws, an exceptional
nation among the nations of the world because we recognize that all citizens
have God given rights not controlled or granted by the government. You could
celebrate all the way through December 15th when we celebrate the
Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments established in 1791. Go to EPCOT, enjoy
The American Adventure and understand the struggles and battles for your
freedom.
Roddy McDowall was born on this day in 1928 in
London, England. I loved the “Planet of the Apes” movies and Roddy McDowall
will always be the ape, Cornelius. Tim Burton made his version but there’s
nothing like the original. Roddy did some work for Disney as well: That Darn Cat, The Adventures of Bullwhip
Griffin and as the voice of V.I.N. CENT in The Black Hole. Let’s go to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and visit the
apes in honor Roddy by visiting with the apes.
John
Ritter was born on this day in 1948 in Burbank, California. Ritter first became
famous as Jack Tripper on Three’s Company
but he has a Disney pedigree that spans two generations. Ritter was in The Barefoot Executive as well as
various Disney specials and eventually the Disney sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter. Ritter’s father, Tex
Ritter, the legendary country singer is the voice of Big Al in the Country Bear
Jamboree at The Magic Kingdom. I’ve
thrown this one out there several times lately but let’s visit the Bears in
honor of John and Tex.

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