Vancouver is hosting the winter Olympics at the moment and while there have been a few glitches, I’ve been impressed with everthing so far.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Nobody could have written a better script for the first few days of competition. Let me set the stage for you. No Canadian has ever won a gold medal on Canadian soil. That includes both Winter and Summer Games and the media was building this up to the hilt. It was actually quite annoying. (more…)
This came through to me in an email and I thought it was great. I’ve always said that we can learn a lot from dogs. Sorry, I don’t know who wrote the original story but it is something to think about.
======================
A Dog’s Purpose (from a 6-year-old).
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
Daredevil pup Stanley attracts more than a few stares when he goes for a ‘walk’ in his miniature Spitfire. Passers-by might think the four month old wire-haired fox terrier is crazy, but he loves donning his flying hat, goggles and jacket for a spin reports the Metro.
Owners Phil and Sharon Cook, both in their 40s, mocked up the miniature plane for a Halloween party, but Stanley enjoyed it so much that they can be seen trundling around the streets near their home in Leigh, Essex. Mrs Cook added, ‘Stanley loves it. We decided to go for a Spitfire as a nod towards Remembrance Day. He is content to sit in the cockpit and watch the world go by.’
The plane is made from an old holdall attached to a skateboard, while Stanley’s flying hat is fashioned from an old cuddly toy.
I was forwarded this video by a friend and it was just too good not to share with all of you. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the most powerful man in the world just a short time ago.
I just finished reading a book called Yes Man by Danny Wallace. I had never heard of the author or the book before but I couldn’t resist the premise. Say “Yes” to everything.
It seems that at 26 Danny had found himself saying “no” and shunning friends and life all too often. After a gentleman (it may have been Jesus) during a chance meeting on a London bus says to him, “Say ‘Yes’ more” Danny’s life is transformed.
The book is hilarious and in a strange way, quite inspirational. More importantly, from what I’m learning about Danny Wallace, it is a fairly good reflection of how he actually lives his life. It is amazing what this guy has accomplished at such a young age and how much fun he seems to be having along the way. Very cool.
Check out his site at www.DannyWallace.com to see what I’m talking about. Below is a clip I found on YouTube. Danny recently started his own country – in his flat in London.
