And it was kind of you to say I was good in bed with potential of greatness. Not that I'd ever want to work that much to attain greatness. (and just think what people are gonna read into the above statement since they weren't there!) ;-) Oh ... and Heathrow was a breeze this time ... and have I said how much better Virgin Atlantic is to ANY/EVERY carrier we have in good, old Walmarted USofA?

Oh wait, I went all Mr. Furley on ya ... I see you meant because my equilibrium was all screwed after the Magic listed for a night (it did cause me to be off-balance for a few days).

BTW, I've never talked that much about them little rubbers in my life (even when using them). I'm telling ya, Disney MAGIC really does open up a world of possibilities and you don't even have to buy an ownership interest in the DVC! And I am likely to set an all-time record in consecutive Spirited posts in an effort to catch up with my adoring throng of fans.

Karl hasn't screwed up all the great work done by Matt Ouimet, Tom McAlpin, Bill Ernst and many others yet. Hopefully, he won't get the chance as he's around retirement age for Disney execs.
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<Well that is after meeting up with the NAtional African Policy Network first. Spirit and I always have unique times.>> That we do. We are kindred Spirits in so many ways it is scary. And I won't even make a crack about your socks, either. <<Ask about the discussions of Sexual health, eating Krispy Kremes next to a 1100 year old Castle in Oxford.>> I still can't believe it took a sudden rain shower in OXFORD FREAKING ENGLAND to get me to try my first Krispy Kreme donut of my life. I honestly thought it was OK, but nothing special. Coffee was very, very good though. <<Still not as surreal as the train dashes around airports a few years ago. Lol>> This was the first time I've ever had an easy time at Heathrow. Even security wasn't an issue. No body scanner. No patdown. No going through my bags. I'm going to have to remove it from my most loathed airports list.

Much less than you'd expect. But gotta say, amazing how much Obama is liked and admired in the UK (and most of Europe really). Night and day from two years ago with W. And the Guardian had a glowing piece on the job Hillary Clinton is doing as Sec of State. Without getting all political (just a little) one must wonder whether all those folks have it wrong, have their faith and trust misplaced ... or whether it's a bunch of angry Americans. Oh, and on another political note kudos to one soon to be ex-Republican, who I have supported and voted for in Governor Charlie Crist. Our Gov has decided to turn Independent in his Senate bid after seeing how being moderate and reasonable and open doesn't play well now. He's got my vote.

Based on what's been happening the last few weeks, I think I am of the same mind. ....He maybe on the conservative side, but better vote for him than throw away a vote to a unknown Democrat who can't win in our wonderful, fair, intelligent state. Florida for life...!

That's the major difference between his self aggrandizing and yours. <<Also - if you payed any attention to things outside yourself, you'd know lesbians are in charge at WDI now.>> What the heck is up with your obvious loathing of all things lesbian? Were you planning on prostituting yourself to the gay Imagineers to land a job, only to discover that the dykes don't play that game? Gloriosky. If you could figure out a way to bottle your bitterness, you could conceivably put Angostura out of business.

I'm happy for them. They have such a selection of exotic locations to build in Europe it's going to be hard to guess where they would choose. Maybe Tirana Albania or maybe Chisinau Moldavia or perhaps that swinging beach resort on the Black Sea Mamaia Romania. I would guess Spain since that's where you were docking, but I have a problem with that one. Wasn't there some kind of problem with labor when they were considering where to build Euro-Disney? I would guess it's somewhere along the Mediterranean though.
