We were supposed to be at the luggage station in front of our resort at 8AM this morning, and we arrived pretty much right on the dot. We boarded the Disney Magical Express, which left as soon as the doors closed after letting us on. Good timing. Our bus driver spewed a plethora of facts as … Read more
We had breakfast in the restaurant area of our resort, and after a very chaotic and confusing line, managed to get our omelets. Disembarking the bus at the entrance to The Magic Kingdom, Joe and I found these very tight pair of Apple Bottom jeans walking in front of us. I, of course, had never … Read more
It’s a good thing we’re leaving here today, because our attitudes haven’t at all adjusted. This queen that served us breakfast this morning walked like he couldn’t possibly care less about living, much less about customer service. He put our silverware down on the table and walked away as he asked, “Do you know what … Read more
When the cab driver picked us up this morning, he said something like, “‘Lo, gentleman,” then quickly corrected himself saying, “I guess I should have said, ‘Good morning, gentleman.’” He said it distinctly pronouncing all of the words. It didn’t dawn on me until after he said something else about correcting himself that I had … Read more

Joe woke me up at 10:00 today, once he was done in the bathroom. Shortly thereafter, we trekked to the poolside bar and restaurant for breakfast—I was back to an omelet today, this time a “build-your-own” sausage and cheddar instead of the three-cheese. Yum. Yum. Yum. It was somewhat of a dreary day here, weather-wise, … Read more
We were up at about 9:30 this morning, and we had breakfast in the usual place—this time each having a bagel (his plain, my cinnamon and raisin), and once again splitting a fruit platter. We went for a walk to a coffee shop up on Eaton off Duval that was supposed to offer free wireless … Read more
We got up at around 10:30 today, and had breakfast downstairs in the pool-restaurant-bar area. I had a three-cheese omelet, Joe had a bagel, and we split their fruit platter, which contains: strawberries, melon, cantaloupe, blueberries, bananas, pineapple, and oranges. I spent an hour or so up near the deck creating Friday’s blog entry. I … Read more
I’ve had two articles published in the January edition of Technically Speaking… One of the articles is entitled: “The Goal of it All: Graduation” (on page 1) and the other is, “Redefinition: Who is the Technical Communicator?” (on page 3). Today’s affirmations come from Andrew Armstrong’s article in said publication… That article is at the … Read more
