I am in the early phases of planning another trip to Walt Disney World (early phases in this case means almost complete). With fanatical devotion do I proceed against the advice, and to the surprise of those around me. I don’t really have much ambition to get to see all of the parts of the world, but I do have ambition to see this one part really really well. This will be the first trip with the new daughter, and I am also taking a few other people with me. The reason I am able to take others is because of the Disney Vacation Club. This is basically a scam, unless you are like me and really want to take repeated vacations to the same place. It is just a modified time-share, but works out well for those in the cult of Disney. My primary reason for getting into this was to give myself the flexibility to bring others along, or to take trips of different lengths, without it impacting my bottom line too much after the initial purchase. It is really like pre-purchasing vacations and anticipating inflation. More on this later.
In other news: The baby is acting as per instructions. Nothing particular to report. She still cannot talk, and so is considerably less interesting than she could be. She makes up for it in appetite and poop, which I’m sure science will someday show are related. More pictures are coming to Flickr soon, probably today. Also coming are the birth announcements. We are a little lax in getting these things out, but we have been preoccupied. If you are among those that receive them, you will see the same workmanship that was in our wedding invitations. We liked Soiree Invitations, and have gone with them again for the announcements. If you arte in the area, I suggest them.
Tojo was in town this past weekend, but he is apparently a vampire, because I was only able to see him a couple of times, and always at night. I had hoped to spend more time with him, but it seems there were excess demands on his time. I can’t expect for everyone to have the scheduling freedom that I do, I suppose.
This weekend I have more plans to see people. TLCNYC is coming all the way from the east to town for a couple of days, and she even was able to entice a few others out into the open. They live here, but I never see them. It is hard to see out from this cave. Commander Plaza and Babs will also be making the trip north. We will have a cookoff, play some golf, and catch the final four, all from the couch, naturally.
