Disneyland Nomenclature: That Time Tommy Walker Was Kidnapped and Nearly Murdered
http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2014/08/that-time-tommy-walker-was-kidnapped.html
Building a Disneyland Encyclopedia, day by day. Tuesday, August 19, 2014. That Time Tommy Walker Was Kidnapped and Nearly Murdered. Presumably Tommy was at work that February day. Since I have written a Disneyland Almanac, I can provide some color for the day. The Park was scheduled open from 10 am to 8 pm and had a whopping 979 guests show up, due to the 0.16 inches of rain which fell. I know Tommy would have different feelings, but that's a date I'm going to mark to go back to. Farley had Tommy drive h...

There was an error in this gadget. Monday, October 25, 2010. Happy 75th Birthday, Mom. Today marks what would have been my mom's 75th birthday. She was a mere 29 years old when she brought me into the world, and she left it 44 years and 23 days later. It has now been 19 months since she left us, but her influence in my life remains with me every single day. This is the mark of an extraordinary person. I am blessed enough to know. Her's was a life well lived. And each of us who knew her are better for...

Crossing Paths: Hoarding
http://twenty9eleven.blogspot.com/2011/10/hoarding.html
There was an error in this gadget. Wednesday, October 5, 2011. Recently, I found myself in the home of a hoarder. You've heard of hoarders. It's easy to watch the TV shows or hear of hoarders and think, "how could somebody let their lives go like that? I would dare to say that we are all hoarders in one way or another. It's just likely that ours isn't as visible and tangible as these extreme cases you see on TV. How many of us have filled our lives with so much clutter that we are exhausted? Take some ti...

I have previously blogged about Mineral King, discussing my first visit there in 2005 with Bob Gurr. The way you can see it through aerial photography. And the 2009 designation of the valley as wilderness. I recently returned from Mineral King from my seventh visit, but this one was special- my first winter visit. The outline of the trip's logistics was simple enough: Drive as f...
