Yesterday was a walk through Disney's Animal Kingdom. Whee. Last time I'd been to the WDW complex of theme parks, it was 1987 and Animal Kingdom didn't exist.

I realize why my spidey-sense goes bat shit motherfucking crazy when I go to to a theme park. It's the whole fake authenticity of it all. People want to delude themselves into having a supposedly authentic experience of going on a safari, or participating in some dig or even the rampant Harry Potter fanboying that I saw the other night.

I guess I jettisoned my childhood very, very early. I don't recall gravitating on all this when I was their age. I think by that time I was already caught up on wanting to fly jets and blow shit up under official government imprimatur.

That may explain this morning's iThink. I guess it's probably preferable to "World War III," which is the other song that comes to mind when I'm around small children for a long time.

At least if I don't run, I'm getting some substantial exercise walking from place to place all day long and being the pack mule for kids who don't want to carry stuff.

Today's agenda is a trip to Disney's Magic Kingdom. I really want to try the suggestion of riding "It's A Small World" completely plowed, but alas, there are no suds in the Magic Kingdom. Booze and fairytale dreams don't mix. Except in my universe.
