Over the past several years I have noticed that more businesses are using crowd control methods that I used to only see at DisneyWorld in the past. Almost every fast food restaurant and every bank that I frequent has a red velvet rope that stretches between several stanchions.

Every time I get in line at one of those queus I think of my many trips to DisneyWorld, and it makes me want to book a vacation and go to DisneyWorld again. I used to go to DisneyWorld almost once a year for twenty years, but then my family became more difficult to coordinate schedules and make everybody happy, so I finally gave up after two pre-paid non-refundable planned vacations that didn’t happen. I never thought it would be possible to plan a trip to DisneyWorld and have my own family not want to go!

The disturbing phone calls keep coming in today, I’m about ready to turn the phone off for the rest of the day. I was on my way out the door when my eldest sister called all upset about her son being arrested last night leaving the local Moose Lodge and is now in need of a good Cincinnati DUI Attorney which will be near impossible right now due to the Easter holiday.

I told her to use the Internet and Google “Cincinnati Attorney” and see what she could come up with that way since I don’t know a Cincinnati Lawyer personally that I could refer her to although I did live in that area for several years. Since she was so upset I decided to take a look for myself and found a website of http://www.attorneyscottrubenstein.com/ that looks like they might do the trick for them and sent her the link via email and then sent her a quick text to let her know what I had found and to wish her best of luck.

All day yesterday I found myself in a rotten mood for no apparent reason. It got so bad that I ended up going to bed much earlier than normal and tossed and turned all night long. This morning I found a voice mail message on my cell phone that had come in after I had retired, it was from an old friend calling to inform me of a very good mutual friend’s passing last night. Hence the bad feeling that kept following me around all day yesterday. Not a good start to a long holiday weekend.

I am very excited about moving this summer. I am happy here, but I think the change is going to be good for our family. We will be closer to our family, which is a huge bonus to this move! I think it will be good for my kids to get to start over and make new friends at their new school too. They seem to have made friends with a few kids that I think are bad influences and I am ready for them to make new friends. This move might just be the thing that they need. I am also picturing it making them closer to each other, because at first the only people they will have to play with is each other. I have the fondest memories playing with my brother the summer we moved to a new town, because we didn’t have any friends yet. I am trying to get everything in order for our move. I have us signed up for Bounce Texas and have gotten all the other utilities ready to be hooked up the day that we move in.

Well, today went by rather easily considering it was April Fool’s day. Someone at work put salt in the sugar dispenser; that irritated a lot of folks! And it appears that someone switched the decaf and “high test” coffee carafes around. A couple of “whoopie cushions” scattered around the office, got a few guffaws here and there. The best trick was that someone put a rubber snake in the desk drawer of the manager that gives everyone the most grief. Of course, I did not participate in any of these – I want to keep my hands clean, but I have to admit that I did laugh at the results of the jokes! The worst joke played on me was someone telling me to look at the beautiful double rainbow outside, and there wasn’t one. So I made out ok, all in all. At least there weren’t any rubber snakes in my desk!
