Earth Day 2008 April 22, 2008

For your viewing pleasure and moment of nature appreciation, please open the Google main page and see their font today! Also, take a moment to read the comics today.  Many cartoonists featured Earth Day themes.

The sun has finally returned.  How many days of gloom can we stand ?  Repeat this mantra…” Well, at least we don’t live in…..( pick a city of current doom.)

Have you heard of hulu.com? If you want to view some old movies and vintage TV shows for free, check it out.

We watched Sunday Morning this past weekend.  There was a feature about a documentary called Young At Heart.  It was a bunch of seniors singing at a jail “venue”.  It was inspiring!

I attended a free bluegrass concert and storytelling event sponsored by the local public library on Sunday afternoon.  David Holt has an NPR radio show on Saturday mornings called Riverwalk Jazz- out of San Antonio, TX.  He lives in Asheville, NC.  In addition to his amusing stories about people he has met in Nashville at The Grand Ole Opry and being married for 38 years, he plays banjo, harmonica, several kinds of guitars , the paper bag, the cow rib mouth harp and has a slapping/clapping routine that is quite entertaining.

BKB taped the Hallmark movie for me on Sunday night.  It was called  Sweet Nothing in My Ear about a deaf family and cochlear implants.  I watched it last night and was glad to be able to fast forward through all the commercials.  Great movie!

We are busy making economical travel arrangements for trips this summer.  I am finally going to really see the Northwest and Southwest in person. I am grateful and psyched!

I might give a middle school update soon, but then again, I might not. Confidentiality issues, you know.  37 more days of the long commute.
