Disneyland, Food and Grammar Abuse

I see where Disneyland is now changing their policy of unescorted children in the park.  Children determined to be under 14 need a parent of guardian.  I have to reluctantly agree with the, although Disneyland sometimes reminds me of a police state.  Remember back in the 60's when you couldn't have long hair and get into the park?  I remember a joke on Laugh-in about it.  Two Hippie types- the guy did not have long hair- He:  "We came all the way to California to go to Disneyland and couldn't get in because your hair is too long!"   ( She has tush length hair). I remember as a kid, my folks would hand my sister my mom's wristwatch and send us over to Tom Sawyer's island for an hour while they went to the hotel for a drink.  We were always back in time to meet our folks at the dock.  It was fun and a moment of freedom, but I can see why it wouldn't work these days.  Too many creeps out there.  I wonder if there are more creeps, or if people are so concerned with not getting involved that they ignore them?  I know MY parents would have been told if I were misbehaving, but parents these days take such a "MY kid wouldn't do that" or "Mind your own business" attitude that I can see why people are reluctant to intervene.  Still I love Disneyland, but the ticket prices are SO outrageous,it is not really a destination for me anymore.  I LOVE "Cars" and want to go to Carsland one of these days.  Maybe in the fall.

I was in my favorite burrito shop yesterday, Yuca's on Hollywood.  It's near Kaiser Sunset and as I had an appointment around 2,  I rewarded myself with lunch there.  Nothing better than a chile rellano burrito ( no rice)  I was listening to the 80's powerpop they were playing.  There is this one song that drive my little English Major heart over the edge.  I do not know the name of the song, but the singer earnestly declares in the chorus  ( over and over again) "I feel the magic between you and I"   ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH   It's you and ME, not you and I!  Here is the easiest way to tell if you should use "I" or "Me"  If you  can say "we" instead of the pronoun, then it's "I"  if you would use "us" it's "me".  Geez.  It's one of those things that drives me nuts.   I will turn off the radio when I hear that type of grammar abuse.  So many songwriters do that.  It's why I love Jackson Browne.  I think his mom was an English teacher. His grammar is perfect.

Gearing up for this Saturday's Art Fair at McGroarty Arts Center.  This year's theme is "Bite Me' all food themed artwork by local artists.  I have not yet seen the exhibit, but will be on hand in the upstairs gallery from 11-3, so stop by.  We will have food and fun, as well as a chance to pick up some fine art from up-and coming artists. A portion of it goes to support the non-profit Center, so stop by and say hello!
