In memory of a my grandfather, on his birthday...

I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone; wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just round the corner.
All is Well.

How Many Dogs Does it Take To Change a Lightbulb?

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining. The day is young. We've got our whole lives ahead of us. And you're inside worrying about a stupid, burned-out light bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. Not only that, but I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

Dachshund: I can't reach the stupid lamp!

German Shepherd:No. You told me to sit.

Toy Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

Rottweiler: You can bring a new lightbulb in, but you are NOT going to take any lightbulbs or any of my other toys out of this room. Ever.

Shi-tzu: Puh-leeze, dah-ling. What are servants for?

Lab:Oh, me, me!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Can I?

Malamute: Let the Border collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy.

Doberman Pinscher: While it's dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch.

Mastiff: Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark.

Hound Dog: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.Yo quiero Taco Bulb.Yo quiero Taco Bulb.Yo quiero Taco Bulb.Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

Pointer: I see it, there it is, right there...

Greyhound: It isn't moving. I don't see it.

Australian Shepherd: Put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? Light bulb? That thing I just ate was a light bulb?

Receiving this package was *such* a day brightener yesterday. Thank you all so much, and especially SusanD for all your hard work. I'm going to do a post at HEP, but I haven't been able to focus my attention enough to do it justice. But know that this truly warms my heart, and I am posting the image here so that the people who were part of this effort won't have to wait too long to see the picture.

Accompanied by a note from Demetrius: The sign around her neck says "I am very STUPID"... I swear. I did not instigate this.

Demetrius sent this picture to me last night, from the "hippie school" our daughter attends.

I found this pudu picture on Bob Harris' web site, in his Thanksgiving post, with the quote "These two pudus have each other to be thankful for. Moral of the story, you can always find a pudu tie-in, if you're really determined. He credits the creator of this web site and blog for the picture.

Last year we created this holiday card to be nondenominational without being a tepid, noncommittal "Happy Holidays"

You can download the graphic for the front of the card here, and the inside graphic here, and use them in Printshop or other desktop publishing software to create your own cards. Or, if you prefer, you can order pre-printed cards here.

Ever wonder what the original lyrics in German were, but didn't know German? Well, you could try using Altavista's Babelfish Translation, or now there's this:

99 Luftballons, Side by Side Comparison

I'm not sure who wrote the original English lyrics, but they certainly did a good job at capturing the original spirit of the song. I think it's neat both versions work in Captin Kirk, even if they do come in different stanzas.

The image you see above (and closeups of the 99 numbered balloons) can be found here.

Cow tipping debunked

Article in the Times Online

Another problem is that cows, unlike horses, do not sleep on their feet — they doze. Ms Boechler said that cows are easily disturbed. “I have personally heard of people trying but failing because they are either using too few people or being too loud.

“Most of these ‘athletes’ are intoxicated.”
