Today I got up early, filled up the gas tank, got a triple venti non-fat latte, cranked up the Beach Boys and drove to San Antonio to see The Lion King on IMAX! The weather was beautiful, and it seemed like such a short drive. I loved the movie - this was my first Disney IMAX experience, and it was nothing short of spectacular! After the movie, I enjoyed a chili dog and a root beer float on the Riverwalk (where they always have one of those Peruvian flute/pipe bands playing), then headed home. On the way I stopped in San Marcos at the outlet mall to visit the Disney Store Catalog Outlet! It was really fun, but I didn't buy anything (most of their clothes are for women - discrimination!). I was wearing a Walt Disney World shirt, so a nice woman talked to me about the parks. She is going in a couple of months for her 40th birthday (Happy birthday, whoever you are!).
On a sadder note, I was shocked to hear about the space shuttle Columbia today. I'm a fan of our space program - earlier this week I had watched the live feed from NASA TV on the web of the shuttle astronauts, and now they are gone. Most people my age refer to the Challenger disaster as the "Kennedy assassination" of my generation - everyone I know remembers that day (I was eating a cheeseburger in the OU Student Union). It's a little strange to have been away from the media for this disaster - I don't think I've really accepted it yet.Labels: life
