    That would be former Disney executive Ron Dominguez. Their house was removed for the excavation of the original "Pirates Walk Through" that eventually became Pirates of the Caribbean. The palm tree from their ranch still stands in Adventureland, though. Ron, along with Jack Lindquist and Jim Cora was recently lauded by Resort President Matt Ouimet at the Roundup of Community Leaders (held in the Festival Arena, formerly the Festival of Fools, built on the site of the Painted Desert section of Frontierland's Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland.)

    (And I posted all this without looking anything up.)

    The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is a FABULOUS Australian film that is yet another example of their ability to make a film that will touch your heart, make you laugh, and make you cry. Look it up on IMDB - while I highly recommend it, I think from your posts here on LP that you may have some issues with the subject matter and content, Joe.

I would have NO issues with book as from some of my posts you know I WENT to hundreds of happy bars with my happy roomate in college but NEVER........obviously. I thought it was obvious.
    When my wife and I went to Provincetown bk before kids> she said the men dressed better than she did so Labuda I think has a very wrong impression.

    TS, I'm glad to know I'm not the onlt one. Before Mark and I went to WDW we set out Tivo to record just about everything that had to do with WDW. We even watched all the old ABC sitcoms where they went to WDW. I wish they'd still do stuff like that.

I believe that God made 10% of all people happy, and as long as they don't have pda public display of affection (life heterosexuals) in front of my kids, NO problems at all. I thought I've been very clear on things here as I have to be mum here on the cape about such things or risk losing 50% of my 2000 customers NO MATTER which way I think.

    To be fair to you I do only spend around 6 hours average in the office and do cheat with my one drug of choice> caffeine> so I'm not that much of a hero.
    My wife, is the hero who accomodates the 3 UNITS as we call them, runs our 2000 customer business and runs our 5000 square foot house while I do most of the child rearing, food shopping, money, etc.
    We run it like Plato's Republic according to our abilities and I read that post about Mass having the lowest divorce rate--well we Pilgrims (Puritans) have a long history of hanging tough through thick and thin.
    That's very kind of you for showing an interest and not getting angry.:)

    Is this a euphimism with which I am unfamiliar, CCJ?

    Tom-- I don't know when I "learned" all that stuff. I just pick it up left and right. What is gratifying is being here at Dosneyland when many of these things happen, or meeting and talking to the people who make it happen. That's why I am always happy to come to LP, where (mostly) people don't find this esoteric stuff tiresome.

    Please let us know when you will be at the Resort. I am sure local LPers, (including yours truly) would love to meet up with you.
