The Sound of Music, Belgium Style

-
My wife, Kathy, is about the biggest fan of The Sound of Music you will find. She must have seen it a hundred times. One of her friends sent this link to her, it is pretty cool. The information with the YouTube clip says:

More than 200 dancers were performing their version of "Do Re Mi", in the Central Station of Antwerp. with just 2 rehearsals they created this amazing stunt! Those 4 fantastic minutes started the 23 of march 2009, 08:00 AM. It is a promotion stunt for a Belgian television program, where they are looking for someone to play the leading role, in the musical of "The Sound of Music".

    I love "The Sound of Music" as well! And this video made me want to jump up and join in in my own kitchen. Some years ago we attended a TSOM movie and sing-along that was truly magical.

    Like Gwen, it gave me goosebumps. People just forgetting all of their stress and worries and having fun. Then watching everyone else stand back, smile and clap and bebop was just wonderful!

    Has Dominica seen this, she lives in Antwerp.
    I saw the Sound of Music when it came out in the theater, and have the VHS. It's one of my all time favorites.

    Tell your wife she should come and see the production of Sound of Music playing here, it's really good, honest!

    You can't help but feel really good seeing this video. Unless you're dead.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
