Personally...I Think It's A Good Look

 In a few weeks I will begin--again--a job at Lagoon Amusement Park. I first started working there when I was sixteen years old. I could have begun when I was fourteen, but I waited. I worked for three years, then when I returned from my mission I worked a season on the Gardens crew and the year after that while in college, I started my favorite job at the park...

Pioneer Village Stuntman.

Great job.

I then took a long break...20 years, actually. 

Since 2014 I've been involved with the Entertainment Department in one capacity or another. It's been a great way to earn a few bucks--especially during Frightmares, the park's Halloween celebration. Last week I attended a required training and I took a picture of the poster proclaiming to the world that the park has "a look."

I actually like the look.

Lagoon is an amazing place--it really is. Some people diss it because it's not Disneyland, but that's unfair. Only Disneyland is Disneyland. Lagoon is what it is and the park is a testament to perseverance. They come back year after year and people still keep going to ride the rides, play the games, and eat the food. 

I know some people who have had less than positive employment experiences there--that's true of all places, I suppose. I've been lucky to have fantastic employment experiences, especially while wearing a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, a 22 revolver on my hip, and falling 25 feet into a pile of hay.

Unfortunately, that Lagoon Look is long gone.
