So, with no cable or internet, we headed out to some place where we could watch the games. Somewhere with multiple screens. Wacky Wings Pladium it was.

That place looks like fun! :happy: I can't believe all the plasmas they have in there. I'm not a sports fan, but even I think I'd enjoy that place. :joyfull:

Day 5 of celebrating Mothers Day. My present from my DD finally came today A coffee table book I've hunted for for years. I am so happy.

The gardens of Walt Disney World.

@Cesar R M you would love this book. Glorious 1980s and early 1990s photos of WDW in its hay days. View attachment 92805

Oh my goodness! Now THAT was a find!! :inlove: I can't even imagine how much nicer the parks would look in that older book, without all the kiosks, etc. cluttering up the views; I'll bet there's a few benches to sit on in those photos, too?!! ;)

Also, just the term, "coffee table book" is something I haven't heard for quite some time. I recall my mother used to always have a coffee table book displayed nicely, in the livingroom. We had a few of them with different subjects, and she'd rotate them from time to time. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I associate coffee table books with a less hectic, non-connected (i.e. electronic devices, etc.) time in my life. Nice memories . . .

Homework update:

Spanish group project done and turned in.
Paper for sales class almost finished. It needs a quick glace tomorrow and then will be done.
Group project for management, which we just got today, is getting there. 3/4 group members have already sent me something. I think there will be some stuff for me to correct, but so far, no major errors. It's due Thursday at 10 am (I'll turn it in before then).

Still have:
Spanish test (Thursday at 3 pm)
Spanish paper #1 (Thursday at 3 pm)
Spanish paper #2 (Monday at 5 pm)

Getting there. Slowly but surely getting there!

Keep up the good work!! We're all pulling for you! The light is at the end of the tunnel! :) Oh by the way, it seems like when there's a group project, they always pick you to head up the work. I'm beginning to think that you're the only capable student there!! :p

No I want to read the book about WDW history while I'm ON the plane flying to WDW next Wednesday.
BTW: you don't need to reference "The plane! The plane!" for me since that was my favorite show. I knew what you were talking about. :)

Oh, o.k. General WDW history books are also good. I'm just a bit of plane fan, so I immediately thought that's what you meant. ;)

As for Fantasy Island, I used to get a kick out of the original series. Wasn't a fan of the remake in 1998.

That's right... it was just concrete with a bunch of planters on the edges.

Just planters? Those planters were part of the little details that made Disney Disney. I'm reminded by something Ray Bradbury once said in an interview.

Ray Bradbury said:
I came back from Paris one time about ten years ago, went to Disneyland, and I looked at the side of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and I called John Hench over at Imagineering, and I said, ‘I noticed something about Sleeping Beauty’s Castle: there’s a spire there that I saw last on top of Notre Dame in Paris! I said, ‘How long’s that been there, on Sleeping Beauty’s Castle?’ He said, ‘20 years.’ I said, ‘Who put it there?’ He said, ‘Walt did.’ And I said, ‘Why?’ ‘Because he loved it.’

I said, ‘Ah! That’s why I love Walt Disney.’ It cost $100,000 to build a spire you didn’t need! That’s the secret of Disney, is doing things you don’t need and doing them well, and then you realize you needed ‘em all along.

Because he built Disneyland, because it was full of things we didn’t need but really needed, ‘We don’t need a lot of trees.’ You plant them. ‘We don’t need a lot of benches.’ You put ‘em down. ‘We don’t need a lot of flowers.’ You plant them.

So he built Disneyland as an example of a way of living – not just an entertainment center. You could go there and sit on a bench and people-watch because it’s a happy experience. Why? Because of the flowers, the trees, the fountains, all over and above all of the other elements.
