Manic Monday

So here it is: Monday. Not so good. My unbreakable titanium $400+ glasses managed to snap yesterday. The optician of course doesn't carry parts, they would be happy to send them in at a fee, yada, yada. Of course, I am going out of town today and cannot POSSIBLY see without them. So here I am duct taped together. Gorgeous.

Out of town. How I love that. Dearest darling Hubby is taking me away for the evening. Disney, in its infinite wisdom has decided to close Pleasure Island and, therefore, OUR club, The Adventurer's Club. So we are driving 200 miles for one last chance to enjoy the silliness. Hopefully I won't have to do this half blind (or duct taped).

If you have never been to The Adventurer's Club, it is a real treat and so sad that it is going to close. I am not one much for night clubs, but this is so different and so very Disney! It is New Years Eve 1937 every night. There are sing alongs and different skits and events. You have to see it to believe it. But of course, unless you see it by September 27, you are out of luck.

Here's a little taste of what you'll be missing:

The Adventurer's Club Creed

We climb the highest mountains,
just to get a better view.
We plumb the deepest oceans,
because we're daring through and through.
We cross the scorching desert,
martinis in our hand.
We ski the polar ice caps,
in tuxedos looking grand.
We are reckless, brave, and loyal,
and valiant to the end.
If you come in here a stranger,
you will exit as a friend.

KUNGALOOSH!

There is a campaign to save the place and we would appreciate your help. Here's the info:
