I got to see the Special Olympic torch go through town on Thursday.  They didn't do much to let people know about it.  I only saw it because I happened to cross paths with it on the way home.

I saw the movie, Avatar last week.  I heard it had a very environmental agenda, which is true, but I also found it to be a very spiritual movie with talk about an energy that connected everyone and doing a good job of illustrating the problems that are created when a people become overly materialistic.

My dog, Cocoa, gets into mischief a lot, but he isn't stupid.  Recently, when I go out in my back yard, I sometimes pick a few of the ripe cherries off the cherry bush and eat some and give some to Cocoa.  He quickly figured out he could eliminate the middle man and he now just gets on the deck stairs, where he can reach some of the low branches, and picks his own cherries.
