Last night's GLEE was pretty good. But - Sue in the zoot suit! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..... = Priceless. Even made me enjoy the old Neil Diamond chestnut, "Sweet Caroline". And "Wedding Dress" (I forget the character's name, sorry) can sing???!!! Who knew? The producers and writers knew, of course. They're all great in this. It's all great. Glee is the It Show for me this season, so far, I must undeniably admit, LOL!

My deposit for both UK/Europe tours on it's way to you, Elissa. Woo hoo!

^ I don't remember there being that many, if any, playground areas for kids (and kid-wannabes, lol) in the TPR Euro tour last year. And actual walk-thru funhouses were a hit-and-miss thing, too. Not many to choose from. A lot of dark rides to enjoy, though (or go WTF at). Efteling was an exception, with a lot of stuff for kids to enjoy including several push-around mini-merry-go-rounds! Europa has themed ride areas for kids, but I never noticed whether there were climbing bars and/or actual play areas for them to go and enjoy. I actually found more trampolines and real energy-driven play areas AND funhouses on the TPR Scandinavian Tour we did back in June. Those people know how to exercise their kids AND themself, LOL! Just a suggestion, but maybe when TPR offers up another Scandi Tour, you should definitely consider it for your trampoline and funhouse "needs".

Sadie In The Kitchen - Rose Cousins

Jane Lynch as Sue should be getting an EMMY nomination, if not the statue itself, for this role. And especially based on last night's ep. She is f-ing outrageously great! The writing certainly helps her KAPOW out her character... but my oh my... She's amazing! And she was great as Julia Child's sister in "Julie & Julia", too. Her time for accolades has finally arrived. (I hope!)

This is being released, November 3. Woo hoo! Including the killer "Maybe This Time" 'duet' from two weeks ago. I hope.

Looks like its going to be a bunch of fun there, you guys. Enjoy it.

Finally! Somebody else starting their Scandinavian Trip Report!* Great Day 1 Divv. Bon Bon Land was such a cool park to start the tour off with. Between the Dog Fart Coaster, the wonderfully totally un-PC statues and figures in and around the park itself - that strange building with all of those "wonders" (mmmmmm plastic ball pile) in it.... and some mighty "interesting-tasting" lollipops, it was a great first park, definitely. Looking forward to all the rest of your TR - and that all-important Doritos EXPO report! (*And yeah, yeah I'm due posting a Scandi TR, myself. In time. Soon.)

Great set of questions and answers, everybody! Looking forward to when the tour flyers come out.

Right now, it's GLEE for me!

And the majority of them would be in Europa Park, yes? No? (Happy to be going back there, if I do the tour.)

Iran. Iraq. Meh.

My calendar says it - so it must be true.... Happy International Day of Older Persons Everybody!* (*who's older, of course.)

....and SCAD Towers!

"Skaters' Waltz" An orchestra, do not know the name. On CBC Radio 2.

Hmmm. Raining today. Hmmm.

Goliath looks great! (POV ... mmmmmm.) The ride ops sounded great! And - what WAS in "those white boxes"..... hmmmm? Looked like an excellent finish to the tour, Robb.

Just found this out - Happy Punctuation Day, Everybody!* (*Offer good only in the USA.)

Here's three cards, taken down from our old Postcard Wall that used to be in our basement bathroom. The room is now being converted into a new bathroom with a proper shower, etc. Woo hoo! So, here's two that were up on it - from Santa Claus California, on one of my late 1970's visits down the West Coast. They even had their own sort-of cancellation stamp on it too! Check it out on the back of each one! (o: It's not around anymore and honestly, I cannot remember where exactly on the west coast of CA it was. Any help, people? Thanks in advance. The third one is from Buffalo Bill's in Nevada, south of Las Vegas, which used to boast one of the first "tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world"... Desperado ... Back in the late 1990's. Enjoy. The back of the card. Buffalo Bill's! And Desperado! Woo hoo! And on THIS part of the Postcard Wall we find..... And the back of this one from Sanat Claus, CA. More of the fun things to at Santa Claus CA ....shopping. And eating. Here's the part where the second Santa Claus CA card was on. And that's NOT Marilyn Monroe, there. I think it's Jayne Mansfield. And you are close to the second card too! The back of the card. With the "From Santa Claus CA" cancellation on it, lol Here it is - Santa Claus California. And look - there's a childrens train ride in front! Here's part of that Postcard Wall that the first one was on - can you find it?

Oh, you'll be fine. I miss Japan, too - and that's from doing the 2007 tour. So how many more credits did KidTums get, on this tour?

Bag of cut salad lettuces. Bag of six blueberry scones. Bag of gingersnap cookies. $9.97

A fingerful of crunchy peanut butter tasted really good, right now.

Hmmm. Miss Tokyo Disney. Glad you're having a great time there, again. And in the New Hotel too! Fa-bu, guys!

"It Takes" Michael Buble & Sharon Jones (great song)
