I write almost exclusively in cursive which may be a good thing because both my boys can at least read cursive. James can write in it but not to my satisfaction, not that his printing is leaps and bounds betterIt's funny, even I haven't written in cursive (other than my chicken-scratch signature) in decades. I'll just blame it on drafting class were we learned to write in nothin' but all cap block letters to label and note everything.
Back in the day, it was with a chisel-pointed mechanical pencil lead on CDs (construction documents). For many years now, the CDs have all been done in CAD with a standard font. But, we still label and note our preliminary presentation sketches in freehand ink block letters.
Cursive is, indeed, a fading art.
The only thing I liked about the new DTD design was the addition of a few new food and beverage places and for some reason walking from one end to the other seemed to have more of a flow.I have mixed emotions about Disney Springs. We went twice and I'm not overly impressed with the high end shopping district built. It was interesting to walk through but I have no business buying a $150 t-shirt. Nor do I want to. The newer area brought some nice QS and a few TS that we may eat at someday. Still we spent two half days there and when it came down to it I would have rather been in the parks or at the pool. I didn't buy lots but most came from the parks or the old marketplace area. And yes I am sure many of the older restaurants are hurting, it is a long walk. I saw this yesterday afternoon on twitter from a nice man who lives in the area. Mind you it was a Saturday afternoon at Earl!!! Normally this is filled with guests and out the door just to order.

The guys are doing a happy dance and said thank you for their dinnerTonight's dinner baked bean soup made with smoked pork butt.
The real world is a downer. I've had 3 days to decompress here (got home Thursday night), and I can barely stand the thought of going to work in the morning. Ugh.
I didn't notice much trash out of place, but I did see a bottle floating in a stream and shook my head. How far would it be for that person to put it in a trash can--there's plenty of them around. What got to me were all the stupid hair bands at the top of Everest. I've read about this idiocy, and it really detracts from the themeing of the ride.
HM queue didn't bother me. Was there an issue when you went into the single line at the end--were you separated from your group? (There is kind of a bottleneck when it goes into the single line.)
As for the various pools, I agree--great way to escape the heat!
Thanks, fall starts the middle school years. Geez, where did the time go.
Yep, still tryin' to swim through it all..."Keep swimming, keep swimming, keep swimming...!"
Congrats on the end of the school year and summertime...!!!
OMG!! That photo!!! Tell me that's NOT Earl's??!!!!!!!!! Yikes!!
Genuinely wonder how all this is going to shake out at DS.
Thanks guys!!! We got here safely on Saturday and are trying to stay cool in this heat. It feels like July in FL!! Very humid but hey we are in WDW so it's ok!!! Miss you guys!!
