In our current modern era we are constantly finding ways to maximize our time. It's as if idle time has been deemed evil or something. But here in LA, no matter how much the residents fight to cut in line or avoid waiting, we actually spend a large portion of our lives wasting away in lines - lines at the supermarket, lines at the movies, lines on every freeway, and even lines to see freakin' Cinderella's mouse at Disneyland (total B-list supporting character). You name it, there will be a line. I sometimes wonder if all the built up tension over constantly jockeying for a place in line is going to turn into something very ugly, very soon. Anyway, this holiday was a vacation of standing in lines. We went to Disneyland on Thanksgiving and stood in every line, and on Saturday we went to Reagan library where we stood in line for at least half an hour just to buy tickets for admission and then another hour to enter Air Force One. The only redeeming experience this whole weekend was the FastPass at Disneyland. What a system - you take a ticket and come back at a scheduled time and lo and behold, no line (or a relatively short line - 10 minutes versus 100 minutes). Is there some way we could have FastPass for the freeway, too?
So, enjoy the pictures from our 11 1/2 hours at Disneyland and the very nicely designed Reagan Library (so far the best Presidential Library I've been to yet).
