Marathon

[mlerules]

Interesting: a 16-hour+ D-land marathon works as an emotional Etch-A-Sketch. Nothing's bothering me, b'c I'm numb after so much adrenalin, sugar, and exhaustion. I've been picked up, turned upside down, and shaken (not stirred). 'Twas a great day. Didn't feel as crowded as it was...prolly 'cause most folks were spending their time in the 2-hour waits for Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, etc. rather than interfering w/our plans or getting in our way. Waited no longer than 30 minutes for any ride and often far less. Got four (4) rides in during the 1st two (2) hours! Introduced a neice to T-Mtn after much cajoling, convincing, and discussion. After the 1st round of twists and turns, she turned around and declared that it's her new fave ride. (Yes!) To repeat once again: I LOVE FIREWORKS!
