Has anyone read this story?  Dead Soldier's Family Gets Pup He Held  Here's a picture and caption from the article:


Tired from a long trip, Hero the dog sits with her new Newport, N.H., family, Skip and Rhonda Rollins and Brittney Murray, in the office of Rep. Paul Hodes, D-N.H. in Concord, N.H. Friday, May 25, 2007. Rollins' son, Army Spc. Justin Rollins, was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq a day after adopting the pup. Hodes assisted in bringing the dog to the United States for Rollins' family. (AP Photo/Cheryl Senter)

Sweet dog, bittersweet story.

I was trying to wait up for DR Danise, but will have to leave that to those of you in other time zones.

'night!

Danise said the shuttle could take hours getting her home.  It depends which bus she ends up on, hopefully the short one tonight.



Jhvw-It sounds like a great plan for the summer & fall.  Also nice to see you.

DR Ginny-I’m glad DS Rob won’t be driving home after his big outing today.  How far away from you are the job & campus?

I wish I were jogging.  I haven’t had a walk, hike or jog since before we went to Portland, and only twice since I was in Pittsburgh.

Hi Honey, I'm home!

Riding the shuttle is the best example of the theory of relativity known to man.  Their idea of "It's just going to be 20 minutes" and mine are about an hour apart.  Oy!

Anyway, I'm safe and sound and home.  The dogs were overjoyed to see me.  Both are trying to lay their heads in my lap as I type this so there may be some mistakes.

Forgive me but I am most tired and have a headache.  I shall retire and won't get up until I feel like it tomorrow.

jhvw is in the house.

Feel better vibes to DR RODZINSKI.  I didn't like ISLAND IN THE SKY as much as you did.....but I did like a non-Wayne movie called ISLAND IN THE SUN....pretty close.

Pirate walks into a bar.  Bartender hasn't seen him for awhile and says:

"Wow.  Must be rough being a pirate.  You have a peg leg, a hook for a hand, and an eyepatch...."

"Yea.   We were practicing with the cannon on the first day and I got my leg shot off, and I got this one."

"Hmmm.....how about the hook?"

"Well we were sword fighting in a pirate fight, and I got my hand cut off, so they put on this hook."

"Hmmm....how about the eyepatch?"

"Oh well, a bird pooped in my eye."

"That wouldn't hurt your eye so much, would it?"

"Well - it was my first day with the hook."

For the closing celebration of the Film Festival here in France, a special presentation of 2 Cole Porter's musicals is scheduled:

"Cannes-Cannes" starring Chita RIVIERA!

"High Society" with Lance Armstrong, Bill Cosby and a special appearance by Gene Kelly!

(I love "reruns"; don't you too?)


I didn't even understand it the first time.

Well, when you consider the flight got in early--about 8:20 and it was about 10:30 when I walked into the door, you do realize that I could have flown back to Pittsburgh in the time it took to get home.   :P

My guess would be that ANY appearance by Gene Kelly anywhere right now would be "special"!

Good night all.  I have got to go lay down while I can still get my contacts out and get ready for bed without just falling down.

I shall see you all sometime tomorrow!

People do return from Brooklyn.

Did you take the last exit to Brooklyn?

Johnny Depp would love that story I'm sure! :D

Aren't skeet an endangered species?

Skeet are fun to shoot but hard to field dress.

But we did yard work and then went to the concert instead. Maybe we still will if I get home from Alabama on Sunday before it gets dark.

I will be there visiting another wonderful gardener whose show I wrote and edited. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person!

I think we get Letterman.  I must check - KS is one of the few actors I admire!

K-PAX is one my favourite movies and his performance in "Shipping News" was "PERFECT" for the character.
