We're on CNN!

Kerry logged in to Facebook yesterday and had a message from a friend saying, "Hey I saw you and your dogs on CNN!" He had taken a picture of his TV with Kerry and the dogs on the screen. Wow! Who knew?? Our video is on YouTube and anyone can use videos from YouTube so they didn't need to ask - and I don't mind - but I do wish they had let us know so we could tell people to watch. Luckily because we are six hours behind the friend who advised us about it, we were able to tune in and catch it.



They are right near the end of the segment, and only a small bit of our video is in it, but hey, I'm not complaining!

Fortunately, YouTube has an "insight" feature where I can see how people are finding our video to watch. I've often found that our video has been shared on other blogs or news sites. It's been embedded on sites where all the stories were written in Japanese or Russian (I think). Luckily, it doesn't require knowing English to understand what's happening in our video.

I'm really proud of this video. We have great dogs and seeing how much it meant to them when Kerry came home still touches my heart when I see it. I love for this to be shared on television shows, YouTube, and Facebook so others can share what was a very special moment for all of us.

Mahalo!

Ben's Feet

Ben went camping with his youth group this weekend. He said it was the best weekend he's had since we've been in Hawaii, and possibly in his entire life. The one negative part was that he stepped on some coral out in the water and cut his feet up pretty good. He swears it was all dead coral - you shouldn't touch live coral, much less walk on it because it damages the coral. No one ever mentions that it also damages your feet. They just tell you not to damage the coral. Also, coral is a living organism . If you step on live coral and a tiny piece breaks off in the cut, it will continue to grow. Did you see the movie Alien ? If some creature incubates in Ben's feet, then breaks out and eats us all one night, I'm going to be quite miffed. (Make sure you read the inscription on his tee shirt in this picture. It's quite appropriate.)

Mammogram

I'm having my annual mammogram today. I always hear about how painful they are, but honestly, I've never thought they are that bad. Not the most comfortable, but not painful either. Every time I have a mammogram, I'm reminded of this story. It won the Erma Bombeck Writing Competition and I still get a kick out of it every time I read it. So I'm posting it here today for your reading pleasure: Erma Bombeck Writing Competition 1st place in Humor Category Winner Leigh Anne Jasheway of Eugene, Oregon "The First Time's Always the Worst" The first mammogram is the worst. Especially when the machine catches on fire. That's what happened to me. The technician, Gail, positioned me exactly as she wanted me (think a really complicated game of Twister - right hand on the blue, left shoulder on the yellow, right breast as far away as humanly possible from the rest of your body). Then she clamped the machine down so tight, I think my breast actually turned inside o...

Japanese Fishing Shrine

Here's an interesting little spot we stopped to see. I'd passed this many times before and had never stopped to see what it was. Since GG and Sherry were here, we decided to check it out. There is a shrine of some sort with a statue and a carved rock. There was no information on sight as to what it is that I could find. There were flowers, food and incense left around the base of the shrine. There was a ceramic statue and a rock with a figure carved into it. None of the food was old or rotting (although plenty of it had clearly been pecked by birds) and the flowers were all fresh which made me think it must be cleaned and cared for on a regular basis. After we got home, I did some research and found this article about it from the Hawaii Star Bulletin, our local newspaper (I have edited out some bits, but otherwise the article is unchanged): "Maintenance" of the monument has been assumed by a group of Vietnamese Buddhists - Shingon Shu Hawaii, the Buddhist temple th...
