George M. Spencer said...: Three great new movies: Gravity, Capt. Phillips, All is Lost.

Consider what they have in common:

In each movie, the hero is adrift, lost, hostage to fate, chance, and his or her own wits (though Capt. Phillips gets a preposterous amount of help in the end).

Is there a theme here that relates to our present situation?

(P.S.: Until I saw "All is Lost" today I thought "Gravity" would be hard to top, but the Redford film achieves the same goal far more simply.); 10/26/13, 5:32 PM
MikeD said...: Meade is a great videographer/editor, everyone of these dog park videos "almost" makes me wish to be a Madison resident so my dog could be so showcased. Not really!
Anyway, all the meadehouse dogs are happily loved in non-meadhouse homes. Even if meadehouse doesn't want a dog of their own, maybe the skills exhibited could be put to use to help one of Madison's shelters to get the word out (no, not one of those cheesy ASPCA informationals).

Was bedeutet schpatziger??; 10/26/13, 8:41 PM
chickelit said...: schpatziger probably means spatzig in Swabian dialect (which is close to Swiss German).; 10/26/13, 9:17 PM
Rosalyn C. said...: Wow. Zeus has a BFF! Love that they both run with a ball as if they are competing. (as opposed to Zeus running with two balls in his mouth the other day) Imagine a football game with two footballs -- that's Zeus and Gustaf, except they just enjoy the running.; 10/26/13, 10:18 PM
