Since I write at about a 3rd grade level in Spanish this may not be necessary but here is a translation as requested by Daniel.

Talk to the animals....
I just watched a documentary on animal planet about a retired South African Park ranger, Tonie, who rescued a baby hippo and raised it on his farm. He was trying to mate it with a wild hippo who was eventually shot by neighboring farmers. When this happened, Tonie said "This is why I prefer animals to humans. God made a mistake when he created man." I don't know if God makes such big mistakes, but I often feel the same way. Animals are generally better. What can I say? I'm South African.
I would like a hippo, but I don't think he'd like the snow.
Watch this brief snippet of a wild hippo who opens the door to Tonie's house and eats at the kitchen table! Tonie's wife talks to the hippo and she actually obeys like a house pet! Incredible.

This is hilarious...
Why are Christians portrayed as idiots? Because so many of them are idiots. Case in point, Sherry Sheppard on the view today refused to believe that there were in fact ancient Greeks who were around before Christ (BC). She hadn't quite heard of the whole BC, AD thing.
This isn't to say that there aren't numerous deep and intelligent Christians around. I know many. But this religion, like all religions, attracts some serious morons.

Peliculas
Hello again!
I was just browsing moviefone.com and came across a few movies I thought I'd share. I used to love going to the movies, but have stopped going as much since sitting has become more of an issue. I like period pieces, foreign language films, biopics and indie/artsie sort of movies. Unfortunately, these sorts of films don't get a lot of circulation. Tomorrow Daniel and I might go see Love in the Time of Cholera.
Three others that look interesting are
I'm not there---Chronicles the life of Bob Dylan through his various stages (Cate Blanchet is a badass)
The Savages-- Looks good and has good actors--Phillips Seymor Hoffman and laura Linney, but could be a bit depressing.
& The Darjeeling Limited--Wes Anderson directing, with Jason Schwartzman & Adrian Brody. Should be funny
Oh, and I still have to see the new Elizabeth. I heard it was more of a costume show than a good historical piece, but it'll be worth a watch.

Hello Everyone,
Daniel and I have been sick for about a week now. He got a nasty cold over Thanksgiving and then passed it on to me. Jo (Mike's wife) and Marg(my mother in law) have also had colds. Our state of lethargy was interrupted this morning, however, by a call from Daniel's parents anouncing the exciting news that Naomi's water had broken. A minute before I jokingly remarked that he better check his voicemail in case Naomi had gone into labor. I have a sixth sense I tell you.
This is the second time I will be an auntie this year and it's all very nerve racking. I don't think I'm ready for the responsibility of children yet. Today and during Beatrice's birth I jumped up and down, paced around and proceeded to worry about the whole process. The pain, the hospital, the giant life popping out of a tiny space. There are so many things that could go wrong....but usually don't.
This leads me something else I've been thinking about recently: I worry a lot. I know we're supposed to have this quiet faith that God will work everything out. And, from my recent experiences with surgery and finding a career, I've come to realize that He usually does. My motto tends to be, I know He'll work everything out BUT I better worry about it in the mean time.
Anyway, back to the subject at hand. We just got an update that Naomi has had her epidural, her parents have arrived, and she's going to take a nap. I can put my mind at ease now. Not that MY worrying is of any importance at all.
As I am writing, Daniel is methodically tidying the apartment. I love watching as he calmly folds blankets and painstakingly purges his video game collection of games he has undoubtedly had for too long. Although his systematic nature used to irritate me, I find a lot of comfort in it now. Daniel is unfailingly placid and steadfast. That is why I married him.
