"I'm fine. But I miss Rushmore. I miss the seasons. And watching the leaves change."

Exactly.

Passport to Dreams Old & New is a great Disney blog with a unique thesis. It is devoted to the serious documentation, study and discussion of facets of the unique methodology of themed "space" as practiced by the Walt Disney company.

A close friend recently expressed his concern for my obsession and asked whether or not I visit WDW and just ride It's A Small World for 5 days in a continuous loop. There are others who wonder whether or not my home is full of those cheap trinkets from the Disney Store that are made in China. The answer to both is no. I enjoy the details that Passport to Dreams Old & New is chronicling and the attractions and trinkets are just a small part of the overall spatial experience.

What I also like about the author of Passport to Dreams Old & New is his candor (sheer honesty) regarding his role as blogger, writer and scholar. The content is rich and his entry called the "The Anti Food Court" offers great insight into why some of us obsess about the parks.

My dad game me this article on Mother Teresa from the WSJ. It has applications beyond the simple religiosity maybe ascribed to it by those with narrow-minds.
