Meet the Disney experts who call New Hampshire home
February 18, 2021
I have a cool party trick. It’s called “ask me how many times I’ve been to Walt Disney World.” It’s usually followed up with an assurance that I’m not really a weirdo, because the answer, as you may be able to surmise, is a lot. Here’s the thing though: I’m not alone. If this was a normal school vacation season, families would be piling the kids into a plane right about now and winging their way three hours south. In fact, this is the time of year when Walt Disney World’s population of New Hampshire residents normally skyrockets. During April vacation, it’d be rare to cross Main Street USA without spotting a UNH hoodie or hearing someone say, “The line at Small World is wicked long.”
Hawaii facing largest recession in history
Hawaii, USA (KITV) More than 3,000 island businesses remain closed because of the faltering economy.
Hawaii’s state economist believes it will be years before the negative financial effects of the pandemic disappear, even though conditions are expected to dramatically improve later this year.
At Ohana Hale Marketplace’s Waffle and Berry, every creation is meant to be a sweet treat – even as the pandemic soured business for other owners.
“COVID has been hard on everyone, but I have tried creative ways to keep the business going,” said Cal, who runs Waffle and Berry.
A number of nearby shops and restaurants have temporarily closed, just some of the more than 3,000 island businesses that shut down and have remained closed over the past nine months.

All this recent talk of WAVE Awards has had me thinking. First of all, you can’t really say “WAVE Awards” because the “A” in the word WAVE stands for “Award(s).” So when you say “WAVE Awards,” what you are actually saying is, “Watermark’s Awards For Variety and Excellence Awards.” That’s one “Awards” too many.
To take it one step further if you say “Watermark’s WAVE Awards,” what you’re actually saying is Watermark’s Watermark’s Awards for Variety and Excellence Awards.”
