Spring and Cherry Blossoms
Last weekend Lenore and Paula visited from Chicagoland. They saw the cherry blossoms without me because it is just too much walking for my sprained ankle. We did all go to Eastern Market together though and to the National Cathedral.
Lyla, Tracy and my parents recently took a trip to Egypt and brought me back some great gifts - beads, jewelry, a beautiful Egyptian cotton towel and a small statue of the god Horus. Here is a little movie (Quicktime 3.7MB) of Horus in action:
TV Season Update
Sons & Daughters: This new show is as
quirky as Arrested Development but a bit
more real. It is a totally dysfunctional extended
family comedy dealing with teenage isolation,
stepparents, inter-faith marriage,
single-motherhood, parents dabbling in community
theater, marriage problems and fun loser
ex-husbands. The dialogue is sometimes improvised
which I did not think I would like but it fits
with the comedy. The young 3 and 4 year olds have
some of the funniest lines and the characters are
all great. I am sure it will be canceled soon.
