Rosie's back from her first vacation - a quick road trip to Rehoboth Beach, DE.
The weather was pretty decent, and she was on her best behavior. This picture was taken at Delaware Seashore State Park - one of the few beaches where dogs are allowed. Rosie's not interested in the water all that much, but she seemed to have fun just being a beach bum.
Here's an update on Food Inc., a new documentary about the ugly realities of our agricultural system. The film will open in select theaters on June 12th, and comes to the Ritz in Philly June 19th. Keep an eye on the Food Inc. website for updates on when the film will be playing near you.
We finally uploaded some pictures of our recent trip to the French Quarter Festival in New Orleans. You can check 'em out here.
This looks like a great new documentary, co-produced by Eric Schlosser of Fast Food Nation fame.
Here are a few pictures of the new member of our household: Rosalita, or as we call her, Rosie.
Rosie's a Corgi mix and rescued shelter dog from Delaware Puppy Rescue, who specialize in rescuing pregnant dogs and their puppies from shelters and placing them in permanent homes.
A victim of animal cruelty in a violent household, Rosie is just over a year old and has already had two litters of puppies - most recently in late December 2008. Delaware Puppy Rescue saved Rosie from a Virginia shelter, placed her in a foster home, and paid for the emergency delivery of her puppies (who are in the process of being adopted now).
Rosie's quite a catch: she's fun, smart, affectionate, and well-mannered. We think she's da bomb!
All of the hype you've heard about Mickey Rourke's performance in "The Wrestler" is true. We saw the movie on Valentine's day, and it was terrific. Sure, the guy's had a boatload of plastic surgery over the years, but Rourke's portrayal of a down-and-out wrestler is as good as it gets.
We know it's only the beginning of February, and Punxsutawny Phil has a monopoly such things, but today we discovered our own indicator of an early spring - when no fewer than half a dozen bluebirds appeared on our property.
In our world, if a bluebird sees his shadow on February 1st - spring's gotta be right around the corner!
Our inauguration trip photos are up - knock yourself out.
We've got a lot of stories and a ton of photos from our trip to DC for the inauguration. We'll have a photo album ready for you to check out this weekend - promise!
Before heading out to D.C. for the Inauguration, we wanted to pass along this new feature on the Obama administration's Change.gov site called the Citizen's Briefing Book. It's an online forum where you can share your ideas and rate or offer comments on the ideas of others. The best-rated ideas will be printed out in a briefing binder and presented to the President every day.
Conceptually, it's a pretty cool idea. Read the Citizen's Briefing Book and share your ideas.
