Ok.... isn't this getting interesting! It just occurred to me (because after Dubya's speech this past evening I had the first decent night's sleep since 9/11, and I'm thinking coherently) that since we weren't planning on buying until late October anyway (when we'll have socked aside enough for a significant down payment), that some of the literal/figurative dust will have settled, and perhaps we'll all know what the major announcement Sunday is.
I'll also freely admit that this is a different America, but you know what? I've never, ever been prouder to be an American than I am right now. I've made a conscious, rational, more-or-less mature thinking decision not to be cynical, or paranoid, or despondent. I feel this way because I know we have right on our side, and righteousness on our side, and my faith is placed in the eternal and not the temporal.
One other thing ... if you're familar with Disney history, you know that in the early 70's that our Mouse was on the shakiest of ground. It was ripe for takeover. And an administrative team came on board to stabilize things, and Disney was a darling of Wall Street for years. But, as in so many other institutions, that team was the right group at the right time. Now, perhaps, it's time for a new team better suited for the next step in Disney's future.
We're all going to be fine.
