It felt incredible to sleep. I think I slept 10 hours straight, which is something that does not occur to frequently since I finished college. Breakfast was once again at the hotel buffet, and about the same fare as to be expected. The one thing I don't like about kosher ...

I went back to the room that evening and spent about 30 minutes packing up. Then I laid down for a rest. It was only a matter of seconds before I was totally out. The next thing I knew Sam had come back to the room and woke me out ...

Of all the Disney feature length cartoons, Alice In Wonderland is my favorite. The creativity and artistry put into that film I think is the high water mark of Disney animation before the decline of the 80's. It was around that time that Disney put out Peter Pan ...
