Dear Remember When,

Disney made the movie Escape to Witch Mountain about two orphan kids not from this planet, who realize they have "special" powers and become the target of a scheezy millionaire who wants to exploit them? A widower helps the children escape to their space ship in the depths of Witch Mountain while the children help the widower recover from the loss of his wife...aww...nothing like a classic 1975 Disney movie. Below is a trip down memory lane for those who are nostalgic.



...well...remember when Disney decided to remake it for the new generation and call it Race to Witch Mountain where (according to IMDB) "A UFO expert enlists the help of a cabbie to protect two siblings with paranormal powers from the clutches of an organization that wants to use the kids for their nefarious plans."

Gag me.
Especially when the cabbie is none other than Dwayne Johnson aka the Rock.

Props to Disney for trying to make $.
Boo to Disney for rehashing the same material - nothing will beat the 1975 version - nothing.

Dear Snowbird Resort,

Here are a few of my favorite things:

1. You
2. Ski Laura
3. Ski Cheryl
4. Snowboard Joey
   
5. Snowboard Val
6. Falling off the chair lift
7. Having a 12-year-old boy inform me he recognized me by my board
8. Going down the mountain every time heel side only

Cheryl, Joey and I (all pictured above) survived our first 1/2 day on the mountain of the season and had a rip roarin time. I can't wait for next week.

Dear Coworker,

Your eye contact might be considered attractive if I didn't find it creepy. It gives me the heeby geebies.

PS - Despite what you may believe, 'Figment' is not an actual Disney character.

Dear Ruth's Diner,

Your Quiche Lorraine was delicious.

I can't wait to try something off the lunch and dinner menu.
There will be more visits.

Dear Coldplay,

You were incredible...and even that doesn't do your performance justice.



Hopefully this tour will be available on DVD.
I want to be able to relive every second.

**Yes, for you art history buffs, Coldplay used Eugène Delacroix's painting of Liberty Leading the People for their album artwork. For the record, this painting in person, is unreal - if you don't believe me, buy a ticket to Paris and visit the Louvre. I'd be happy to tag along.

Dear Snowbird Resort,

I purchased a season pass and now there are rumors that you may close until the snow returns.

I don't know how I feel about this.

Normally I would LOVE the fact that there has been a significant lack of snow in the area, but now with all my gear, I am itching to get on the mountain.

For the first time EVER in my life, I am praying for snow. I guess Hell has frozen over.
