Weekend Bullets

  • Went to a certain blogger's son's 3rd Birthday party with Muffin Man (who says, "I love AB, he's my little brother.")
  • Cleaned out the garage. Cut down and boxed up all the cardboard boxes that have accumulated since last year, threw out a ton of junk, and donated everything that didn't sell in last year's yard sale. The yard sale where all the donations went to Katrina relief. Yeah. Procrastinate much? I can't wait for Thursday when we can put out all the recycleables for pick up.
  • Went to the Leesburg Animal Farm Park with friends of MM and their moms. Pony rides, wagon rides, puppet shows, AND feeding the animals.
  • Practiced dancing "We're Going to a Hukilau". I think I have the hand movements and the kaholos down pat, but I'm still having issues with my ami kuku.
  • And I'm sad for his kids, but is there anyone out there who didn't think Steve Irwin would get too close to the wrong animal one day?

Sounds like a fun weekend.

And I totally wondering why they add freak accident to Croc Hunters death. As if he'd go any other way?

Nobody sure would have expected it to be a stab in the heart from a ray. It was probably one of the least "dangerous" gigs he'd ever done.

It's only the third recorded sting ray death. Weird. "Freakish" as our "prime minister" said. As I said on someone else's comments, in some ways he's better known in the US than here, although in recent years he did a series of ads for Aust Customs. And as it's been pointed out elsewhere Colin Thiele (author of many a good children's book) died the same day...

Kid L was very, very sad about Steve Irwin. I was not surprised that he died while working, but I would have never guessed it would be a stingray barb that would kill him.

Glad you had a good weekend.

I'm very sad for Steve Irwin's family. I seldom watched his show, but alot of the things he did when I did see it made me uncomfortable, in response to your comment about getting too close. It's so unfortunate that this happened.
