    There's so much that you don't know ... so much. Yet, I never hold it against you.

    Perhaps he'd be wise to see that out of all WDW execs he's become the poster boy (rightly or not) for all that isn't magical about the company these days ...

    >>Phil Holmes is the Vice President of the Magic Kingdom park.<<

    It's the world's greatest source for information on line, ain't it?

    The Internet is scary for so many reasons (beyond the crazy folks who post on Disney fan sites ... no one here, of course) ... what you can find out about a person ... I dunno.

    Privacy is a thing of the past.

    And all this 'social networking' stuff doesn't excite me ...

    I was sitting there sipping a Chardonnay Blanc last night while listening to my Boozoo Chavez cd, and I had an epiphany.

    Integrity is overrated.

    Just look at DC and Wall Street!

    <<I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Mr. Holmes decided to spend more time with his family in the future.>>

    I dunno ... Phil is exactly the kind of exec that TWDC wants to keep. You read into that comment whatever you please.

    <<I was sitting there sipping a Chardonnay Blanc last night while listening to my Boozoo Chavez cd, and I had an epiphany.>>

    Did it last for more than four hours?

    ~What Will YOU Celebrate? Going to TDR instead of WDW!~

    Yes I finally realize that. I've just got a gut feeling on this one. Nothing I've read, just a feeling.

    >> <<I was sitting there sipping a Chardonnay Blanc last night while listening to my Boozoo Chavez cd, and I had an epiphany.>>

    The CD lasted about 40 minutes, the bottle a little longer. The epiphany was as fleeting as a butterfly's tear.
