Second Blue Heron

This morning, on the drive to work, I saw a second blue heron. I saw another one a couple of days back, on my way home from work. This one today was flying towards the north: a long, slender bird, high above the thining fog. There was a group of three other birds it was heading toward, but I don't think it was going to congregate. It was solitary and flying with a purpose someplace else.

Graceful and determined, it moved - its course set.
Just like my course.
But it didn't have to work. :)

No time now for a Heron Haiku - perhaps later.

Terebithia

The wife, daughter and I went to go see Bridge to Terebithia as part of our 7th annual Family Day. The film was good, but sad and made all the moreso by how cute AnnaSophia Robb looked as Leslie. We all want to read the book. (The daughter is a very good reader. She's in 2nd grade and reading at a 5.0 in the Accelerated Reader (AR) program. She's been reading the Harry Potter books and is more than half way through the fourth one.) As I said, it is very sad and I was surprised that the daughter didn't cry at a few places. I've told her that it is okay to cry and I'm thinking that she may talk about it a few days later.

There were four previews:

• Nancy Drew
• Ratatouille
• The Lost Mimzy (looks very good)
• Meet the Robinsons
