Disneyland by yourself is real treat. I had a few conferences in Anaheim that had an open day, so I thought “Why not?” Imagine going on the rides that you want to go on, eating only when you’re hungry, walking as fast as you want, without waiting for grumbling family members. Just don’t tell your wife and kids that you had lots of fun without them.

Before I fell into major disrepair I was alone 90% of the time. Just me and the pets.  
It was a real wrench when the kids left. I thought I would die. But I didn’t and grew to enjoy my time with myself.  
Just did whatever I wanted. House was quiet and clean.  
Mr. Wrekker was close enough I could call if I had a problem.

Now they’re all here (except one) and they take good care of me and decent care of the house.  
Never a dull moment.

And I love having them close.
