All Aboard!
Keith took today off to escort Hannah and Julia to Disney’s promotion for their upcoming holiday flick – a 3-D computer-animated remake of “A Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens.
Disney’s Christmas train – newly-arrived at Sunset Station – opened to the public at 9 a.m. Keith, Hannah and Julia were among the first in line at 7 a.m., and thus invited to tour with local VIPs including “T-Bone,” the Rampage mascot. A local news station caught them hobnobbing with the big shots – just watch for a few seconds, and you’ll see Keith, Hannah and Julia saunter by.
Keith sported a Mickey Mouse shirt and Julia a Tinkerbell shirt – that probably didn’t hurt their chances of being included with the mucks.
Computer models with light points to better simulate human movement completely fascinated Julia. “Mom, they looked like robots.”
Giddy-yap!
Looks like my middle school math teachers
Keith and Julia took pictures of themselves in the mirrored exhibit rooms. She is my daughter.
“There never was such a goose.” And this is only kind of goose I’d recommend with 6’5″ Keith, unless you want a fist full’a humbug.
Sounds crazy to be talking “Christmas” in this unrelenting, no-rain, entirely oppressive heat – but Costco already has ribbon out, I noticed. The holidays will be here before we know it – we’ll hear Christmas bells, movie sound tracks and the cha-ching of cash registers.
God bless us every one.

Everything You Want
When I was a teenager, I was occasionally allowed to snap a few pictures with my mom’s Kodak flash-cube marvel. Like this stunning shot of Ted Kennedy on an escalator. Yes, it’s really him.
I won an essay content my senior year of high school. The prize? A Close-up trip to Washington D.C. Omigosh. I hate crying. But bawled when I saw the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in the National Archives. Wanted to bawl when I saw Ted Kennedy – though for different reasons.
Lois – age 15 – created an anime video for a convention competition coming to San Antonio next week. She pulled images off the internet, and combined them with music to create this “Everything You Want.”
Yeah Lois! Hope you win, too. Though regardless – you are better than I ever dreamed of being. You’re everything I want, baby girl.
