Life is a Journey

Last week I learned about an app called Meerkat which connects to your Twitter account and lets you stream live video to your followers. I immediately contacted my fellow Gazette staffers and told them that I would love to try out this new technology at Disneyland! Sunday morning I got up early and tweeted out to those that follow the Gazette, informing them of my plans to do a live video stream at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time. I got ready and off to the Park I want. I was excited! This was something really new and neato keen and I mentally crossed my fingers hoping that all would go well. As with any new technology there were a couple of glitches but all in all, it went well and those watching the live stream were enjoying it immensely. A few times, the video portion blanked out but they could still hear what was going on in the Park along with my commentary. As one of those video glitches was happening, I chucked to myself and commented that I now had a pretty good idea of how Walt f

Mouse ears, that is. Don't know what I'm talking about? Fear not for I am about to explain... Oh and for those of you that care about such things, I will be capitalizing the word Mouse out of respect and admiration for the MAIN MOUSE -  you know who I'm talking about. The Gazette staff was recently contacted by a family that listens to the podcast. They asked if we would be willing to test out a product that they make and I volunteered to check it out and do a review. The company is called Covears - very clever! They make a variety of fabric covers that slip over your Mouse ears and you instantly have a new look! The Covears arrived looking like this...very neat packaging if you ask me! Normally, I use the headband type of Mouse ears as seen below. (Hmmm, they've seen better days...guess it's time for some new ears!) My plan was to slip the Covears on but the sequins made the task impossible so I pulled out my Halloween ears. Granted, I seriously dou

UPDATE:  Well, sort of... Art, if you are reading this, by all means save a copy of your photo! Sorry folks, I needed to address a comment I got and had no other way to reply to the gentleman! Now let's get on with our story. No, that wasn't a typo... I went to Disneyland for Dapper Day but it was so darn wet (not that I'm complaining) and I felt bad for everyone who had gotten dressed up to go to the Park. I took a couple of pictures but was so paranoid about getting my camera wet that I gave up and just enjoyed the Park! I pulled out my phone to take a photo, not realizing I had it set on video so here you see 2 seconds of a very wet Main Street! Let's walk together, shall we? And then, just as I shut off the camera... What's this? Pushing water with push brooms? My friends and I decided to meet at Rancho del Zocalo for lunch. (Here's a link to the menu .) As we paid for our meals, the rain started POURING down. As you may know, the sea
