I also have a nostalgic bent for anything having to do with WDW from the 1970's and 1980's.

I used to write what I wanted people to read. I left out so much of me. I wanted a fun blog and I was terrified that I would write something that would make people think I was a jerk. I knew Fussypants needed a change in direction. Needed the proverbial shot in the arm. So I dumped ads based on traffic, except RGM ads, which I keep on here due to contract.
