My niece is putting on a children’s play with her Edgewood College class called “Nowhere for Polar Bear” about the effects of global warming. I snuck my little camera into the “family night” performance and took this and a couple other video clips. Now that Flickr allows posting short (less than 90 seconds) videos, I thought I would try posting these. Worked well, I think.

Been thinking a lot about my father recently; I’m not sure why. He’s been gone for more than 12 years now, and I still miss him terribly. When things are flying apart, as they have done a lot in the past year, what I wouldn’t give to be able to call him up and hear his reassuring voice on the other end of the line. Or to be caught up in one of those Leo Buscaglia hugs of his. The world is poorer for his loss, but immeasurably richer for his presence.
