This is me hooping on the exact center of the Walt Disney World Property in Epcot, with the grand finale of the Illuminations fireworks show in the background!

After months of feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of organizing all my memories, I finally began by simply listing people, places, and events in my life as though I were writing entries for an encyclopedia. No entires yet, just a list that I can add to as things occur to me: “Demarest Hall. Mountain Springs Lake. Lucerne. Girl Scouting. Doctor Yuliano. Cranberry-walnut bread.” Even if I never get around to writing entries for some of them, it’ll still be a jumping-off place for any future descendants who want to know: “Grammie, what in the world are the New Basement Rats?” I wish my own grandparents had left me a list like that.
Because the exact center of the Walt Disney World property is in Epcot, marked only by a simple, humble circle in the pavement. The Future World part of Epcot has lots of kinetic sculpture, and a girl in a hula hoop would fit right in with all that spinning motion.
I bought a really good traveling hoop, very sturdy and portable. It breaks down into segments and fits into a yoga-mat bag. Now we just have to find out whether the hoop would be allowed into the park, or stopped at the gate.
