Mr. Potato Head

In line for Toy Story at Hollywood Studios in Orlando. It turns out this ride is more video game than rollercoaster, but incredibly fun. It’s also probably the most popular in Disney World. Now if only Mr. Potato Head didn’t blink when I took his picture!

Priceless Works of Art

Parms and I made a quick visit to the Art Institute of Chicago today and saw the Marc Chagall stained glass windows. My first memory of these windows is a scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The photo is not a perfect match but you get the idea.

Colbert SuperPAC Hero

Ignore the bald dude and feast your eyes right on the scrolling marquee of Heroes at the bottom. A buck goes a long way sometimes. Rick Parry 2012!

Copycat… Er, dog

I am speechless.

I just donated $1 to Stephen Colbert’s Super PAC. Money well spent, tomorrow.

Giant Ipod

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: being on a Virgin America flight is like being inside a giant ipod.
