I’m still alive.  That was important to assert. In fact, you could say that the reason I haven’t blogged in 13 days (goodness sakes) is because I’ve been living life to the fullest, i.e. grading and presenting and dressing up for Halloween – the important stuff.

A big part of living life to the fullest is a good theme park day. Yes, for me, theme park and carpe diem are synonymous.  Theme parks are full of laughter and magic and (on good days) short lines. This weekend I went to Universal Studios, the self-proclaimed “Entertainment Capital of LA,” with Thad and Meg and Rachel, and I had a blast.  I want everyday to be a blast.  It can be, right?  I’m going to try.  I really am.

Thad and Meg were Wayne and Garth, which was just about the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.  I was a puppy/human hybrid (last minute much?).  Rach was the goddess of song, Adele.

Have a blast of a day!
