Oh Darwin! What exquisite timing you have in posting your goofy jokes today! I needed a good laugh in THE worst way. My sister Margie (my only sibling in the whooooole world), her hubby Stan(the nicest bro-in-law anyone could ever have) flew to L.A. from their home in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for a 3 day weekend with me and my 2 daughters... We surprised them by inviting both of their sons to join us here in L.A. While nephew Jason, living and working in Vancouver, couldn't take time off work on such short notice, his brother, Seth, flew in from his Seattle home to surprise his folks. We were all thrilled to have this outrageously bright and witty 26 year old fella with us, even tho it was for such short time as three days. WHAT a lovely time we had together! Mostly we ate our way around town <giggle>, visiting places that we had fond memories of as children, but on Saturday, we did "the Disneyland Thing!" (grin) Margie 'n I were amongst the first generation of kids who grew up up being "Disneyland Kids," (our first-amongst-many visits to the "Magic Kingdom," was made within the first week of the Park's opening). Between Margie, Sran, and me, we did some heavy-duty-drugs-juggling to Errrr.... between the three of us, we could keep a coupla-three doctor's and pharmacists living well for life!), to be able to squeeze in the maximum amount of pleasure when our respective drugs were working, and and to not let the "off" times in the day) get us down. We rented an electric scooter for the day, figuring that it would be needed as the day wore on (it was, and when we left the Park, we'd put the scooter to such use, that none of us suffered from aching feet at any part of the long day) <WHEW!> I've gotta tell ya, folks, you do NOT wanna go tooling around a place as crowded as Disneyland as a NOVICE scoote-user. With thousands of kids of every age, plus TONS of teens and lotsa adults all wandering around looking at anything EXCEPT an electic skooter with a middle aged woman in it! YOU have to watch out for THEM because THEY are NOT watching out for YOU! I've gotta tell ya, three days is just NOT enough time - tho it DOES beat always communicating only by phone! My dear ones left early this morning for their respective homes, and need I tell you that the emotional drop which came as we said our goodbyes hit me like a ton of bricks. Enter Darwin with his silly jokes, and let's face it, it's IMPOSSIBLE to feel blue when yer LAUGHING! Soooooo a big, warm THANK YOU to Darwin for the emotional pick-me-up It was sorely needed!
