Ledge moves to the music

Unique dance moves. I am evaluating some new video software (that's the reason for the watermark).

Italian Scientist Warned about Earthquake

Weeks before the disaster, an Italian scientist had predicted a major quake around L'Aquila, based on concentrations of radon gas around seismically active areas.

Seismologist Gioacchino Giuliani was reported to police for "spreading alarm" and was forced to remove his findings from the Internet.

Civil Protection reassured locals at the end of March that tremors being felt were "absolutely normal" for a seismic area.

The quake was the latest and strongest in a series to hit the L'Aquila area on Sunday and Monday.

Man detained and harassed at airport for carrying cash!

Another "Violet Said" .....


Alyssa and Leo are taking Violet and Ledge to the snow today. Violet is all excited. She said to Leo: "Daddy, will you help me build a snowman? Because I know you like to build things."

Alyssa even brought a carrot for the snowman's nose.

I think I like it....


What is it? Well, it seems to be a place where you tell what you are doing. Anythink you want to tell about, whether exciting or mundane. "Going to bed early tonight." "Just watched a great movie." "Feeling lonely." "I'm in good mood today." Whatever! The message cannot be more than 140 characters, so there isn't a lot to read.

From the Twitter site: "Isn't Twitter just too much information? No, in fact, Twitter solves information overload. At Twitter, we ask one question, "What are you doing?" The result of using Twitter to stay connected with friends, relatives, and coworkers is that you have a sense of what folks are up to but you are not expected to respond to any updates unless you want to. This means you can step in and out of the flow of information as it suits you and it never queues up with increasing demand of your attention. Additionally, users are very much in control of whose updates they receive. Simply put, Twitter is what you make of it--receive a lot of information about your friends, or just a tiny bit. It's up to them."
