Most of the Hirsch family spent a part of yesterday at Disney. Daniel found out some more teams were testing so he wanted to go back to watch. Devin had talked for awhile about wanting to get Pokemon cards at Epcot in Japan. Daniel had a blast, as expected. Testing was David Reuteman, RCRs truck teams and the highlite Kevin Harvick. Being really close to the track was very cool. I counted, it took the Sprint Cup cars around 13 seconds to get around the track. The best part of the day was when Kevin Harvick was coming off pit row. Daniel was just a few feet from him. He stopped his #29 Budweiser right in front of Daniel and let me take a close up picture. Daniel then gave him the thumbs up and away he went. It may have been a little thing to him but it totally made his day and gave him a very special memory. Its so nice when athletes use their power for good. I have often thought how growing up next to Disney has effected the boys childhoods. Going to EPCOT just for Pokemon cards is definitely not the norm. I don't know how it will effect them. But the only negative I could see is if they get a warped sense of reality. Both boys know people have to save up for years to come to Disney. But I don't really thing they have a full idea of whats that entails. Or just how special the place is. One of my favorite thing is going to Disney with someone who does not get to go often. I love seeing the their joy and wonderment. Unfortunately the boys will never know that feeling. BUT all things considered when they look back I'm certain they will be overjoyed they lived next to Disney. Their childhoods have been special And they are having experiences other kids can only dream about.
We watched the memorial for the Tucson shooting victims last night. All I'll say about it was the crowd full of college students was cheering at the most inappropriate times. As for the Presidents speech, I thought it was a very good one. When he mentioned how we should be better because that's what that little girl expected of us, I thought was a very good line. Also he shot down once and for all that the shooting was caused by right wing "hate speech"
