Getting back on the horse

OK, so I've done the blog newbie thing whereby I launch my shiny new blog and promptly jettison it to the corner to collect dust for aeons. Here's me picking it up from the corner, giving it a good scrub and setting it back in its proper place, with regular feeding and petting and cuddling and weekly cleaning of its cage. I may even be forced to tell people about it so that I'm accountable to actual readers other than myself. Let's see how this works out.

Music to sweat to

What my iPod put out for my morning walk. I kept walking just to see what came next:

Everyone Deserves Music -Michael Franti
Life Shows No Mercy - Stranglers
Light at the End of the Tunnel- Cracker
Testimony - Robbie Robertson
My Doorbell - White Stripes
I Want to be Free - Queen
Salisbury Hill - pg
Pump It Up - Elvis (this should have been in the middle of the set)

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Very cool video, brought to my attention by swissmiss




Human Rights Day is Dec 10.

If only....

I just about fell off my seat laughing reading this conversation between Barack Obama and President Jed Bartlett during a break in my training course today. If only this could happen in real life. Of course, had Jed Bartlett actually ever been president in real life, I don't think the world would be in quite the same shape today.

Could this be your dog?

Kimba is a delightful 3 year old husky. She came to us as a rescue and is looking for a permanent home. Seeing as we already have 3 dogs and 2 cats and too many smaller pets, we can't keep her. If you know of anyone who might be interested in adopting Kimba, please drop me a line!
