Jerry Curl resumes regular operations after vacation

[Editor's note] Hello kids. I'm back from a week of disconnected bliss. I managed to stay away from all news sources, get a nice tan and some much needed rest. I can also report that I Emma Watsoned my hair, mostly as a symbol of my burgeoning female independence... (Actually, it's just hot as Hell in Miami and short hair works best in these conditions). But the burgeoning thing sounds way more important.

Anywho, I also managed to schlep my mother and my goddaughter to Disney for a couple of days. It was nice to have a girls trip and reconnect with two of the most special ladies around. I have to say though, traveling with elders and children isn't easy. For some reason, their stamina didn't come close to mine. Then again, I can run on my Disney zeal for days!

However, it must be said that someone seems to be dropping the ball at the Magic Kingdom. On more than a few occasions I noticed some very unmagical things: an exposed metal lock at the Swiss Family Robinson tree, floating bandaids in It's a Small World, uncharacteristically unscary greeters at the Haunted Mansion. Worst of all? A 10 minute stall on Pirates of the Caribbean! I don't know who needs to be replaced over there, but I'll surely take the job of restoring the magic.

All and all, very fun trip. Very fantastic vacation. And above all, a newly acquired rejuvenated sense of self.
