Getting "Horny" the Disney Way...

This is a video taken (not by me) on the maiden voyage of the Disney Dream when she caught up with the Disney Magic at Castaway Cay in the Bahamas in 2011 (I knew the Magic's horn could play "When you wish upon a star", but I had no idea of the Dream's "horn-list"). It's worth watching the whole video...

While living in Florida, we were a frequent Disney family. The kids were all much younger and even the one day trips were worth the 8 hour round trip drive. We also stayed periodically at a Disney Resort and I can only imagine what being on a cruise for a week, totally surrounded and saturated by Disney-mania would be like. I'm not sure I would fare that well...

Speaking of cruises though, my "bucket list" still includes a week long cruise to Alaska, so anyone that feels an urge to fulfill something on that list of mine, please feel free to forward the ticket...

My New Life turns SIX!!!

I can't believe I missed my own "Blogoversary"... On February 16th, my little slice of the web turned 6 years old...

While I know, over the years, I have morphed this into many things, I try to keep it PG rated (although I also think I have dropped the "F" bomb on more than one occasion). It remains more of a personal journal and a way for me to vent, grow, and learn...

So many of you have been around for all of my political rants, my relationship status changes, my breakups, my losses, my adventures, my failures, and my successes. I thank all of you for the support you have shown me over the years.

While Facebook and other social media have allowed many of us to use different means to communicate and write, I still like this little niche I have carved out for myself (although I don't think I post as often in here) and for the many friends I have made. I also hope to continue attracting you attention every now and then...

Thank you all for reading, listening and offering your advice and comments!

Glee Winter Finale "Behind the Scenes"...

This past week's episode of "Glee" was so emotionally packed. For those of you that don't follow the series take a "behind the scenes" look at what happened, then when you have a full box of kleenex and an extra hour to kill go to the Fox website and watch the whole winter season finale..

Glee does Valentines...

One of the reasons I still watch and enjoy Glee... Who would have known when they filmed this that Whitney would have passed 3 days prior to the air date...

If you don't follow the characters in the series you will probably not understand how the song came into play. Regardless, Amber Riley (who plays Mercedes) did a beautiful job on this cover...

Maybe it was a conspiracy? Probably not...

On to the Supreme Court of The United States...

"There is cause to celebrate today. The Ninth Circuit’s ruling today upholding the decision of Judge Walker takes California–and this nation–one important step closer to marriage equality. It reaffirms that the proponents of Prop 8, who would deny this basic right to millions of their fellow citizens, never had any real facts to back up their claims that same-sex marriage harms traditional marriage, or children, or society at large. Indeed, as the plaintiffs showed in the trial court, study after study has demonstrated that promoting stable, loving relationships is a good thing all around. This of course comes as no shock to anyone who knows gay and lesbian married couples–and the children reared by them.

Unfortunately, today’s decision does not mean that same-sex couples can resume getting hitched in California. Prop 8 may be unconstitutional, but it’s still in effect until the Supreme Court finally rules. But the long legal process underlying the challenge to this insidious law has had at least one positive effect: As state after state legalizes same-sex marriage, more Americans have had a chance to realize that the sky is not falling. Recent polls indicate a slim national majority now support marriage equality.

Most tellingly, 70% of Americans under the age of 30 support same sex marriage. And so if the battle is not won in the courtroom, it will inevitably be won in the court of public opinion. If the Supreme Court wants to be on the correct side of history, to say nothing of justice, it will and must uphold today’s decision.

I am nearly 75 years old. I have lived through four wars, spent my childhood in two U.S. internment camps, and watched a nation go from segregation and Jim Crow to electing an African American president. 

The promise of true equality in America remains unfulfilled, but with each moment like today, I know that we can be a nation that lives up to its ideals. And I can’t wait for all those wedding invitations.
