Oh, Kristin and all, I am so very sorry for your loss. What a tough way to start the year.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That really is awesome, bug.
Owen has seen bits and pieces of Raiders of the Lost Ark--none of the scary parts but he's familiar with the big rock rolling down towards Indy. Well, O got a slouchy cowboy hat in a dress up kit for Christmas and put the hat on this morning and announced that he was Indiana Jones. Then he proceeds to run around the house and tell me that he's running from the "giant ball."

Then he proceeds to run around the house and tell me that he's running from the "giant ball."
He could also be playing "Alias".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Or The Prisoner.

Pretty sure he's not seen Alias or The Prisoner.
Next up: Star Wars.
It's a good thing kids are so entertaining.

Israel has accepted the unilateral cease fire.
I have no words. I should have been glad, but I've seen how those ends before.
Good work, gov of mine. You killed and destroyed and planted a lot of seeds of fear, only to come back, pretty much, to square one.
I wonder how long this will last. Hours? Days? Months? And at what cost?
At least Nilly's brother will be back home.
Great job, Olmert.
Edit: Oh, schools will be closed tomorrow, and all as usual here (as far as it's been for the past three weeks): no gatherings of over 100 people, no work, nada. I fail to understand what have my country accomplished, but I'm sure the propaganda will explain that to me for the next few days/weeks.
