That dance was from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), not Mary Poppins (1964).  Both films have great wire-work.

Not claiming a T-shirt (though I have three).

Haha, it's funny that I think Dick Van Dyke and that's where my mind automatically goes.  Yes, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, not Mary Poppins.  Also I've been at Disney lately working on a thing, so I guess I have Disney stuck in the head.

And I assume that "thing" has an NDA attached to it.

I noticed your pictures from the other day!  And immediately thought, "Oh, it's good to see that Jay is having a good time; I haven't heard from him for a while."

I don't think so.  Don Wilson's book came out in 1977, but still months before ANH was released.

I'm having a great time, but I don't prioritize announcing it on social media.  While I love social media, a careless approach to consuming it gives the wrong impression of what's going on in life.  Here it was important because one of the people pictured had his first trip to the Disney parks.  Celebrating that on social media is somewhat worthy, because the event had been built up for years.  I would most more socially neutral stuff, but I'm so far too lazy to get the Lightroom plugin hooked up; most of my appropriate photos are from my professional cameras.  Then there are the many photos that probably can't legally see the light of day.  That should give the conspiracy theorists something to chew on.

I'm lousy at posting on Instagram because I use a separate camera; we discovered recently that, even though you're supposed to be able to do it, you can't get photos off my phone and have to forward them to someone who can.  I have a camera and a desktop, and Instagram wants you to use devices.  It's just sheer coincidence that I took pictures I thought were worth it at a time when you'd recently posted!
