Contemporary Reflection
From the rooftop of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, overlooking the Magic Kingdom at sunset, while waiting for our appetizers to be served inside at the mouth watering California Grill. One could certainly do worse…

Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow
“But the most exciting and, by far, the most important part of our Florida project, in fact, the heart of everything well be doing in Disney World, will be our experimental prototype city of tomorrow. We call it EPCOT…(it) will take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry. It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed, but will always be introducing testing and demonstrating new materials and new systems. And EPCOT will always be a showcase to the world of the ingenuity and imagination of American free enterprise.”
- Walt Disney

The end is the beginning is the end…
We had a fantastic week on the West side of the East Coast, but now we’re back in LA – refreshed, revitalized and ready to take on the world!

Florida pt.6
It was a white crane
It was a helpless thing
Upon a red stain
With an arrow, its wing
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so

Florida pt.5
One of my favorite past times while we’re down here in Florida is to look for sharks teeth as the beaches in Venice (where my in-laws own a winter home) contain the greatest concentration of fossilized teeth in the United States. The teeth above, we found yesterday, and in a good hour, you can easily find a couple dozen or so if you’re looking closely. Which never fails to make me wonder, just how many sharks are still out there in the water with so many teeth lingering on the beach? Needless to say, I spend much more time on the beach than in the water.

Florida pt.3
Here’s a shot of a jellyfish at the Mote Aquarium in Sarasota, which we visited yesterday with our little nephews. The Mote is really an amazing place with all sorts of interesting marine life on display from spotted dolphins to sand bar sharks, to 10 foot manatees and 200 pound tortoises. Needless to say, my nephews weren’t the only ones who’s eyes were filled with wonder at these incredible creatures.
