Never take yourself too serious.

"Too late for second thoughts.  Head back.  Face forward.  And hold on like you mean it.  5, 4, 3, 2, 1........ " and you're off like 0-55 mph in 3 seconds..... thinking (and am quoting cousin here, from a trip we took together many years back)  "This can't be good!"
Roller Coaster Face:  Compliments of California SCREAMIN'
Spent a long weekend with the fam in Disneyland and California Adventure.  We rode roller coasters over and over and over and over again.  H took a break Sunday to watch football games at the hotel bar.  I kept going with daughter..... long enough to the point where I started to wonder, "How many times can one go upside down and travel at these speeds without damaging mental faculties?*  We saw fireworks over Sleeping Beauty's Castle while riding Thunder Mountain.  Walked on, (walked on!)  Space Mountain more times I can count.  "Yo ho yo ho, it's a pirate's life for me," still sings in my head.   I love going to Disneyland.  I tell H and daughter the same lovely memories about my childhood visits every time we are there. They listen, then add their memories.  This is what dreams are made of and part of the recipe for living happily ever after.

P.S. The first one to spot the Matterhorn wins!
*Evidently, we just might have hit that mark since H asked me to also be the social media person for Specialized Endo. ......I agreed, notwithstanding some negotiations, of course!
