MLK Day

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?"
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

We watched an animated Japanese movie called Ponyo. It was so good! It has an all-star English voice-over cast, including Liam Neeson and Betty White. A sweet film, based loosely on The Little Mermaid. Ponyo is a playful and magical goldfish who wants to be a human girl. The movie centers around her friendship with a 5-year-old boy named Sosuke. I love her name, and she is too cute for words!!



Like Sean Patton, I am a fan of Lady GaGa's music. So, this is tooooo funny--



Tracy and I saw Al Jarreau last night at Riverbend. Wow. A music legend! Talk about someone who "feels" music. When he's talking, he's always adding in a little singing and scatting, which we decided on a daily basis probably drives his wife bananas. He sang some Beatles and Elton, but you wouldn't recognize the songs much, because they were completely jazzed out. So cool.

He said the show would be in two parts, because he is a football fan and had to see what happened in the Jets game... and he'd have to pee. He was very funny. Great show.

ETA: Riverbend Centre is a beautiful facility! Neither of us had been before. The acoustics are really great, too. It was pretty neat to be in that small a venue for this type of show. We had 11th row seats, but no seat is a bad one in there.

Speaking of the Jets- Mark Sanchez is the hottest guy in football, and perhaps all sports. Just wanted to mention that.
