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!

From A to Z

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.
Why?

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.
