You Can't Make This Stuff Up

Watching Whales Watching Us

Read this fantastic piece in the NYTimes Sunday Magazine, yesterday, and was so moved.

And then I was lucky enough during my afternoon commute to hear Terry Gross interviewing the writer today, on Fresh Air. Amazing and heartening. Listen in!

Couldn't Resist This One

Thursday is National Welcome Your Sister Day*

My big sis will be arriving for a visit and I am so excited!  Knitter, gardener, cat lover, encourager and all-around super sister.  I can't wait -- and am gearing up for a weekend of laughter, sheep & wool, Scott & Zelda, and whatever other fun we can dream up. Woo hoo!

For other upcoming holidays, check out The Daily Holiday.  (Found via the lovely Elise Blaha :-)

* Okay, only in our family, but you can celebrate it too.

Dying from Laughter Here

Just discovered the blog, "Postcards from Yo Momma"  Yeah, I know, I'm always behind the curve.  Anyway, I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying.  Check it out.

Well It's About Time

The Washington Post reports today  (Pawn that Wii - It's Time for a Nice Cheap Board Game) that toymakers are seeing a resurgence of consumer interest in "toys that will be enjoyed over and over: dolls, games, arts and crafts, activity toys like yo-yo's ...".  

Hope this helps the continuing movement for buying handmade, too.

(And, no, S & K, I'm not about to pawn our Wii!)

What Can I Say?

I'm such a goof.  I got through this whole post on Cool Tools before it sunk in that the book being reviewed is not about deniers ("de-nee-yay", as in French: money), or about a family by the name Denier (honey, the Deniers just moved in down the street).  It is, rather, about skeptics/scientific heretics/those who deny the c.w., about global warming.   The book isn't the reason for my post; it's just the sign that my brain has clearly preceded me to bed tonight. So, follow it I must. 

Good night!  :-0
