It's a beautiful buidling, Sandy. Enjoyed the pictures. I love anything John Lithgow does. Bet his performance will be fun!
Thanks for coming by, Linda. I'm sure John Lithgow will be fantastic. I had no idea he wrote children's books until I went to the family series symphony.
lovely pics, Sandy. Isn't RT going to Kansas City next year? Or did I get that wrong?
I just watched something about Walt's and Mickey's beginnings and found it fascinating. Glad you had fun!
Louise, you're so right that RT is going to be in Kansas City next year. Will you be coming? Thanks for coming by.
Paris, Walt Disney and Mickey has been in the news quite a bit lately. It's because of the building his studio was in is now on the historical registry.
Sorry, I'm so late in announcing the commenter who won a copy of A Fool's Fool.
Paris, you're the winner.
