And I agree. It's a great read. I carry mine to WDW in case I meet you and can get it autographed. Hasn't happened yet. Almost met you two years ago. Lisa

Forgive me but I met a bunch of people and the names get lost in my addled mind. I do remember the almost with you and Blossom two years ago - I had a conflict with an interview (IIRC the Imagineer for Kim Possible).
