Frankly, we’re rather tired of the Mel Gibson story, but Newsweek’s Rabbi Marc Gellman wrote an interesting opinion piece on the whole saga this week - “What really matters in the Gibson case.” Check it out when you have a minute.

This morning I was using Google maps, and while there, I checked out the updated satellite imagery of South Africa. The resolution is really pretty amazing. Below I posted two screenshots that give you an overhead perspective of one part of our 2004 South Africa trip, in particular, to the coastal town of Knysna. This first pic shows the Heads, the channel between the Indian Ocean and the Knysna lagoon.

Check this photo for our view from the ground. The red arrow is pointing to Paquita’s, the restaurant where we had a leisurely lunch while watching the waves get suprisingly close. Like several feet. The satellite shot below shows the area at a lower tide…

We simply can’t wait to go back…

Interesting story on MSNBC (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13149218/ ) - I had no idea that people raced mules…

Eric sent me this article a while back and I recently rediscovered it while cleaning out my bookmarks. I will say that as an extrovert, I am immediately suspicious of anything in this article. :) However, I happen to be married to an introvert, so I’ll share the link anyway…
