So sorry about this, Bert. I have no idea how it multiplied my posting. Grrr.

Arrrgh! No comment.

Eek. Triple Post. Sorry 'bout that.

Oops. Double post.

The "wooden village" you saw behind Thunderbird, I loved it. So many photo ops! And during the 2014 TPR visit, I actually met the owner of the Power Park, and the previous owner of the park....his father! That's when I asked about that 'village' was told about the TV series, like you were. And - I that Booster ride! It was smaller than what we used to have at Playland (now removed for the new coaster opening this May). I must have ridden it several times, with different TPR tourers on board. And I remember really, REALLY wanting this brought to Playland. Have to add. I believe your room is in the same part of the hotel ours was, back then. Good view of that grandstand, I remember. Great tour of the park, Bert!

Some new (and past 'new') musicals are about to release Original Cast Recordings in a a few weeks or so.... Sondheim's Final Scored Musical. Closed and Off-Brdwy, but still... Based on The Book. Based on The Movie. Now closed, but still..... Book of Mormon Reunion! (sort of) P.S. The 2024 TONY Awards' Nominations are happening on April 30th. And Ariana DeBose is hosting again, Woo Hoo! The CBS TONYS' Broadcast will air on Sunday, June 17th.

Probably.

Been awhile here - and btw, KOOZA ^ was wonderful! And the food AND the drinks, and meeting some interesting patrons also seeing it. Another great Cirque visit! And there's another Cirque show coming to town, this Oct/Nov/Dec. Bought tickets to the new Cirque du Soleil show coming to town in November .... ECHO. And for the third time here, we're going VIP again! Free appys and tapas, drinks, meeting cast members, separate entry, bathrooms and a lovely outdoor terrace (with separate tables and chairs) to eat, drink, and enjoy the evening. Plus, we get a "swag bag" each, with the programme in it and 'other surprises.' EDIT To Add: I bought the tickets for our 52nd Anniversary, which will be on April 22nd. I think David will like this, since it's my gift and we're not 'splitting it' between us. Hmmm. Maybe he'll give me a Tokyo Disneyland Resort trip ........ eventually. This will be roughly 'the view' from where we'll be sitting for this show. Nice. Photos from Cirque du Soleil.

Bought tickets to the new Cirque du Soleil show coming to town in November .... ECHO. And for the third time doing this, we're going VIP again! Free appys and tapas, drinks, meeting cast members, separate entry, bathrooms and a lovely outdoor terrace (with separate tables and chairs) to eat, drink, and enjoy the evening. Plus, we get a "swag bag" each, with the programme in it and 'other surprises.' The total cost of this is nearly $700 Cdn. (just over $500 for the U.S.), but after doing it twice, definitely worth it for us. And they announce the show usually over a year from it's arrival. Thereby making it easy to pay for the tickets, and having them paid in full, by the time we see the show. Yay!

After some time ...... Looking (above) at the layout for ThunderVOLT, I am really REALLY hoping, that you get not one, but two cycles on it. Otherwise .... yeah, ok.

^ It's a thing, remembering characters not seen, that often. Marvin and K-9 are standouts, to me. And .... apparently we're all bored, lol. (kidding)

April Greetings!

^ YAY for a Marvin encounter! Me here, with K-9, Marvin's pet dog, at SFMM/ Sept-2016.

Easter Weekend stuff... This was in Disney Paris a few years back. Happy Easter Everybody!

And after 12 years..... Something I found on my fave cooking site @TheKitchn, with a take on how to dye your Easter Eggs, naturally and w/o expensive 'kits' and the like. https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-vibrant-naturally-dyed-easter-eggs-holiday-projects-from-the-kitchn-112957 And here's the photo to show it all: Thanks to @TheKitchn for the great photo of all these wonderful colours!
