Our hawklets are gaining more independence now. Yesterday I saw 'Goose (aka Little Guy)'' dive for a mouse in the grass and scrabble around, missing it. The day before I saw Mrs. Hawk bring some food to a perch, with 'Goose' and 'Iceman (aka Second in Command') right behind her. She left the food on... Sign in to see full entry.

Kelsey Grammer... as...'Furball'? (A movie review)
You’d never expect to see Kelsey Grammer in a movie like X-Men: The Last Stand. Blue in color, with lots of fur, he is called “Furball” at times but his real movie name is 'Beast.' He is so well disguised that I had to look at the credits to see who he was. I wish I would have known ahead of time; I... Sign in to see full entry.

A visit from Goose!
This morning, as I was sitting in our family room, Goose came to visit! He landed on the railing that lines the narrow part of the deck right outside our big window and sat there, looking in at me and Mister Cat. The window was open right underneath him-- he was only about 10 feet away from us, and... Sign in to see full entry.

This dream stuck with me...
I had the strangest dream the other night and it's still hanging around my head. I dreamed that my dad came to visit me and with him, was a sister that I had never met. My dad passed away about 7 years ago and I do know that my mom had a number of miscarriages before I was born. In fact, I was just... Sign in to see full entry.

Saw the Da Vinci Code...
It was kind of flat... such an interesting story but not an easy one to tell in a movie. Even Tom Hanks wasn't his usual sparkly self. Ian McClellan did a fantastic job as Leigh. The bad French cops were the same guys you always see in a movie with bad French cops. The script sounded like it may... Sign in to see full entry.
Revisiting Lucy
We've been watching the Lucy Show archives on DVD and just laughing our heads off. What a comic genius she was! Last night we saw the 'Vega-vita-mineral' one and also the chocolate factory episode. We also saw her do the mime act with Harpo Marx-- just incredible. In some lifetime, I would love to... Sign in to see full entry.

And your opinion is... ?
Yesterday I attended a 'webcast' which was a panel discussion by some internationally known business blogging consultants. It was amazing! I realized that I am absolutely on the right track with my blogging consulting business. The webcast gave me lots of great tools for developing corporate... Sign in to see full entry.

What makes you real?
I asked this today, talking with my new client. Turns out, she has a wonderful dog that she adopted from a stressed-out family, her co-worker is a great cook... and what else...? With a website, people want to know: 'What makes you real?" I told her, her dog should have his own blog, her co-worker... Sign in to see full entry.
Hello Portugal!
This morning I looked at the new Google Trends feature. It's really interesting-- it shows trends by the aggregation of numbers of people who search on a particular subject. Curious, I gave it a whirl and typed in "blog". The highest number of inquiries on that word came from Lisbon, Portugal (by... Sign in to see full entry.
