My friend, Chris Ellis (on the right in the white shirt), returned as Virgil Watkins on last night's episode of Burn Notice. It will be on several more times over the next week on USA network. He's one of the wittiest, smartest people I know, not at all like the character he plays here.
Off to see the 9:30 AM showing of "The Dark Knight." Waited a few weeks to avoid the crowds and hope my expectations don't mean I will be disappointed.
Here's a photo and story for all dog lovers and for my Golden Retriever, Tristan.A dog at a southeast Kansas zoo has adopted three tiger cubs abandoned by their mother. Safari Zoological Park owner Tom Harvey said the tiger cubs were born Sunday, but the mother had problems with them.
A day later, the mother stopped caring for them. Harvey said the cubs were wandering around, trying to find their birth mother, who wouldn't pay attention to them. That's when the cubs were put in the care of a golden retriever, Harvey said.
After church this morning, I was surprised by a gift of a great looking prayer shawl, knitted by the All Saints Beverly Hills Knitting Guild. They provide knitted items to parishioners who have been ill. As I am recovering from pneumonia (having spent 7 days in the hospital in early July), this was my knitted gift. It's just another way the community of Christians at my church have been an amazing source of strength for me. 
A friend just spotted Anglina Jole looking in damn good shape, having just recently given birth to twins. He snapped this photo when he realized she was wearing the Opinionated Old Fart on her chest.
