Disney World
As hinted yesterday, my November vacation was Disney World! For a week! Yes, it was fantastic. We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter, visited in-laws, did Mission: Space, Soarin’, ate Moroccan food, laughed at Ellen & Bill Nye, geeked out at Spaceship Earth, loved Big Thunder Mountain and Test Track, enjoyed lunch with an Imagineer, and so on. The man of the house got to ride the remade…

[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] 1) The cold I had that kept me out of work for a week and low energy for another? Mostly gone! 2) Getting to be the able-bodied one this weekend.

[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] 1) Walking more regularly has been improving my ability to walk. I walked a lot more today than usual, without pain. 2) Getting over the cold that kept me out of work last week.
