Happy Memory For Today

When I graduated from High School in 1991, I went to Disneyland for the first time... but that's not what today's memory is about. It's just the set-up, because when I got back from that trip I started *obsessing* about returning to Disneyland so I could do it *right*. And in 2002 I finally made it back, with Crystal at my side and friends Penny & Chris sharing the hotel room and the drive! It was an epic road trip from Seattle to Anaheim that the four of us made in a tiny Hyundai hatchback that promptly *fell apart* as soon as we pulled in to our parking space at the hotel - Tire deflated, oil started pouring out, windshield wipers exploding, THE WORKS.

We checked in to the hotel at about 8pm and asked for the park hours, to which the clerk gave us a catch phrase that all four of us still use to this day (as far as I'm concerned; "You can not go to Disneyland now, IT'S CLOSSSSED! It is NOT OPEN! You see that door? IT is closed. You see that Disneyland? IT IS CLOSED! NOT OPEN!"

Breakfast: Coffee, Hamburger Patty
Lunch: Coffee, three chicken thighs
Dinner: Sausage and scrambled eggs with green pepper and onion
