Hi and welcome to Mousecat. I'm Lisa and joining me. I've got Sharpie and Steve and wait for it.

We've got John Self with us. Welcome everyone. Hey, hey Lisa, how's going? Hey, it's going. You know, John

just wave to the... Hey, Sharpie. Howdy John just waved to the camera. You have to say it. I was trying to, but I didn't want talk over people. Oh, John's good. You're not familiar with my stuff. I'm John's self. My industry, we talk over people a lot. I'm a minister. So, you know, I try to be respectful. You said you were from Illinois. Where in Illinois? We're in McComb, Illinois. That's where Western Illinois University is. Okay. I know it. I went to Northern Illinois. I think I, Steve and I have chatted about this because I was in DeKalb before this. I was at First Baptist DeKalb before just two, three years ago.

Oh, okay.

So you know Ali's.

I do know Ollies, but that is technically in Sycamore and we are boring the audience.

No, no, they love this kind of banter.

But yes, that is in Sycamore and it is really good.

And sadly, it's only seasonal. But that's a whole different discussion. Okay. So, John, who are you? Tell us who you are? In context for this, as I've already mentioned, I'm an American Baptist minister. I also very part-time do a lot of theme park writing. I've been doing it behind the scenes, but now I'm a little more out in the open. I'm writing for touring plans and for Universal Food Blog and for Universal Family Vacations, which might be important. You might want to click that site. I think they have some travel agents that might help you that I've even booked a stay in October through them.

Yes.

There you go. So that's one of the extensions of Pixie vacations, universal family vacations. Yes. And I can't keep up with everything. So I was like, John, can you help write? Right. And that's why I was like, I was like, I can take care of that. And so some of the blogs I've done there and so you can feel free to look that up.

Yes. And ironically, we can talk about that if you like to because I'm still bitter because it's probably cost me a lot of writing money. We even have a blog on there that's outdated now because the universal dining plan is dead. Well, it'll come back.

Yeah,

they just need to restaff.

I think.

Yeah,

eventually.

I think they,

they're short on staffing and they don't want people to be disappointed,

is my guess,

with long waits when they have the dining plan or.

Oh, yeah.
