Does one EZ pass work in several states or do you need a separate one for each state you travel in?

Yes, it's amazing how the entire Trapp family had survived the years when entire casts and crews of other early '60s musicals and roadshow films have disappeared from this earth years ago.  I'm sad about Carr, always admired her.

There was a torrential downpour as we were coming out of the haunted mansion so rather than make us go out in the rain they allowed us to rejoin the ride.    Five times

:)

That's great about rejoining the ride, but for my taste it's too bad the Mickey thing was going on. 

I'm a dissenter and don't like that particular seasonal "overlay" one bit, at least as regards the Haunted Mansion.  Here you have THE most artfully conceived spooky attraction the world has ever known -- and for the spooky season you dress it up in this...  stuff...

I have pulled out my Pride and the Passion soundtrack from Kritzerland to listen to again after this silliness of a movie is over.

The scenes of moving the big cannon over the mountain are all too reminiscent of Fitzcarraldo, with the boat going over the mountain.

Glad to see Maggie Smith win an Oscar for "Downton Abbey."

Bad phone pics, but photographic evidence all the same.  Click to enlarge.

Like I probably said last night, this was beautifully sung and played.  MD did fine on his first FANTASTICKS, and it was this young harpist's second production and she's astounding.  Just perfect.  They employed the percussion, which would not necessarily be my druthers, but it's not too obtrusive and does add a few nice touches.

The venue is just too large for this, and the splotches of color and design on top of their reused ZORBA structure did little or nothing in support of the magic that's usually so "there" when it's kept REALLY simple.  As instructed.  Most of the cast was good, a few less so, but I'd probably put that on the direction.

Back from a two-and-a-half mile jog.  I think I'll go put some gas in the motor car and get that out of the way.

Monday and Tuesday the Vixfamily reunited for fun at universal while the BF was teaching history to 10th graders.

Is this is regular job?

Yes he is a full time history teacher now.  Two of his classes are entirely made up of students for whom English is a second language some Spanish speakers and a lot of French-speaking Haitian students

Did I mention how I love EZ pass and the EZ pass express lanes in Maryland?

Does one EZ pass work in several states or do you need a separate one for each state you travel in?

My belief is that the EZ pass works all along the eastern seaboard except in Florida where you just have a Sunpass
