Chester Zoo is a big con, but today was absoultey amazing and I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Today's weather was predicted heavy rain for the whole day but thankfully it didn't rain once. Well, not until we came home but that was ok because we were in the car. There was Georgia (or...
Today is the Feast of Francis. I'm sorry he's been relegated to the serving as patron saint of bird baths. But I love that we have at least one day set aside for considering the stewardship of our fellow creatures (perhaps a uniquely western phenomenon?). Today, to celebrate Francis, I'm going to...
Isn't it strange how days which we expect to be normal, even, dare I say it, *boring*, turn out to be anything but? I woke up early after a series of dreams designed, it would seem, specifically to hit where it is most tender. I am used to brutal violence and, at times, near perverted...
How do we reconcile the universe's perfection with the insanity of life on Earth today? The Matrix says I am the space-time body. I live in the universe on a planet we call Earth. We orbit a star called the Sun. We have a satellite called the Moon. I am here and you are there. We are Earth, Water,...
Yesterday, D and I watched a show on National Geographic that left us speachless! It was a deconstruction by specialists about the popular YouTube clip "Battle at Kruger." This real life survival drama was caught on video by a tourist while visiting Kruger National Park in South Africa. It's got...
These images show the talent & the creative imagination of the Guido Daniele. These are genuinely painted onto people's hands; no photoshop is been used. But these creations last only for few hours, only if we could make them last forever! Watch this video, there are more wonders there ! clipped...

I got to spend last weekend in Boulder with my Mr. Awesome! I loved it soo much! I did not want to come back to Orange County! This is the crick that runs through (I think, or close to) the whole city! Mr. A and I spent quite a bit of time hanging out and reading by this crick over the weekend. It's...
I've always had a warm spot in my heart for animals in need; both my dogs were adopted from rescue foundations. So when I came across a story about a baby Muntjac Deer who was delivered after his mother was hit and killed by a car, it immediately warmed my heart and I had to share. I've posted the...
Here's a short clip of my local maggies during feeding time. They are adorable and all have their own little personalities. The one that runs up to me at the end often clucks and chortles to me. Unfortunately I think the matriarch of the family lost her nest during recent high winds, so there may...
We've decided to take a little break at my in-laws' house on Long Island since we have never stopped working while we're traveling. The funny thing is that we still haven't relaxed at all. Today, for the first time, we came out onto the porch and tried to enjoy the large back yard a little bit. The...

read about ingrid newkirk on wikipedia read a new yorker article about her by michael specter and watch the first little bit of the documentary.
This weekend I am taking part in a gelatin plate printmaking workshop through the Continuing Studies branch of my school. We're forming a couple of books from the prints we make, but before we started working on them we had a chance to just play around a bit here are a few of the experimental prints...
I watched a documentary tonight called "i am an animal: the story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA" It was extremely moving. Many other heads of animal organizations like wayne pacelle, head of the humane society of the united states, commented---they all clearly feel very negatively towards peta, but...
For all the California peeps ... please vote YES! on Prop. 2
European garden spider (Araneus diadematus), originally uploaded by skihippy74. I was walking around in my area last weekend when I came across this spider (I looked it up and it has the not very exciting name of "European Garden Spider", much less attractive than the German "Kreuzspinne"). It was...
Ed took this photo of Bam Bam's paw today in the car and I can't get over it:
Of Mice and Men is about poverty and loneliness. And people have written a lot about both themes. But there is another theme as well. Two guys with nothing in common form a friendship and stick together. Other characters find it suspect because guys usually travel alone from one ranch to another...
