Experimenting

I know I am probably the very last person to put this video into their blog, however, this is the first time I am embedding video. I could not imagine anything cuter than this, other than my own darn cute kids, to use for my first attempt.

Olympic Torch

Today the Olympic Torch began its journey towards Beijing. For 130 days the torch will travel through the world and then through China. The Olympics in Beijing will be a tremendous opportunity for China to open up and show off the richness of its culture. Hopefully a peaceful solution to the situation in Tibet can be achieved before then so that this richness is not marred.

Below is a CNN link to a story about the Torch's journey:

Out of the Mouths of Babes II

My 4 year old daughter is the master of the unintentional one liner. We were in a Levi's / Dockers outlet in Lancaster this weekend. I was admiring an Australian cowboy style hat. I put it on, looked in the mirror, and thought it looked really good on me. Seeking confirmation, I asked my daughter, "How does it look?".

She stared at me with big honest eyes and said: "I think it looks better on the shelf."

I didn't buy the hat.
