Hello!

And welcome to very amusing, your one-stop shop for the story secrets and shenanigans of a popcorn-fueled theme park journalist.

I'm Curley Waiselle, and I just recorded that intro, but then my mic disconnected and all the lights that are usually green turned orange,

and I don't know what that means because Jeff Fox is really the brains behind his operation. So hopefully that doesn't

happen again. I feel like, you know, if you like break real fast and you're like, oh, few, I didn't

hit a car, but then you drive a little scary after that because you're like, oh, I have to be safe. That's kind of how I feel about the mic, but I think we're okay. I think we are okay. Anyway, I just wanted to put out a little tiny episode because as you know,

from just seeing the title of this one, we do not have a new episode this week. To be straight up

with you, I just could not get two full episodes out the door before I left for Alaska. I spent an inappropriate

amount of time packing. It took me two full days, like full Benwatched Pearl all day and I packed

all day days. I don't know why, but the good news is that I made an entire packing list

while I was doing it, which I'm going to add

to my Alaska notes, which I'm now organizing for next week's episode. Um, packing list. I made a

full packing list so that anyone going as an adult with children or as an adult also with

children, um, I guess, well, there's really two options there because a like a four year old wouldn't

be going themselves.

Anyway, I have a packing list ready to go to send to anybody who needs it. Actually, I should do that today.

I should write that. Anyway, I digress. I just wanted to come here and chat a little. So, you know,

if I destroyed your weekly routine by not having an episode, which I feel actively guilty about.

I wanted to make sure you have a little something to listen to on the way to work or while driving gets to school or while going to Target or I guess, well, Target, Target, bad.

Target, bad, bad. Where else? Where do people go for things?

Walmart? Walmart also bad. Amazon also bad. Everything's bad. I really... I'm going to get off that topic.

Anyway, I am back from Alaska. And you're listening to this no matter which place you are driving to.
