Bad news about Moonridge. I liked going as much as to see the friends I've made and make new ones as to see Garett and the animals.

I've been thinking about what I could do for a donation, since the auction is going forward.

I may follow Dancing with the Stars a little more closely this season. It was cool to see Buzz Aldrin, even though he probably won't be around for long. He's already danced with the stars :) Evan Lysacek is still a class act.

Today is cloudier and chillier than it's been - a reminder that spring isn't all the way here yet.


The spare part for my laptop finally arrived. Here's hoping it works.

On the off-chance that people are interested

If not, it's okay to walk on by. This is part of the conversation the article about Sister's work has prompted:

Holocaust denial is a deliberate ploy by neo-Nazis who use it to try to gain ascendence. There are three claims - that Jews were not targeted as a matter of policy, that millions of Jews were not killed, and that tools of mass murder like gas chambers were not used. The last one is key because it supports the first two. They make the claims because if they admit the truth, which is pretty horrible, then they are nothing but proponents of genocide. But if they say the Holocaust is a fiction created to manipulate people, then they are victims of a conspiracy just looking for support for what they believe is true.

( This is also why it is illegal in most Western European countries to make any one of those three claims )
