The Longtime GMG readers have gotten to know JJ Jinglenuts our cat.
We picked up JJ at a shelter when we were having a difficult time conceiving children. It had been a long many years and we were pretty depressed about the possibility of never being able to have kids.
Wouldn’t you know that within the same month of bringing JJ home, Eloise was conceived.
Needless to say he’s like our angel.
We got back from our Naples trip and JJ isn’t doing so well.
There’s cat puke all over the basement and he is bleeding out of his butt. We’re going to the vet asap.
Please say a prayer or two for him.

All day long the staff at The Naples Beach Club was setting up for a beach wedding. Once The bean saw the girls all dressed up she wanted to watch them all afternoon.
She made sand cakes for the bride, and made us stay til the bridesmaids came out in their dresses.
A lot of people say they want to get married on the beach but only a fraction ever follow through with it.

One of the Bean’s favorite pastimes on the beach- chasing gulls. She would run and run and run. I’d just keep telling her she was really close to getting them and she woud keep on chasing.

Maybe Steve B from Shooting My Universe or Jim Barber From Jim B Media will swing by to help identify this crazy looking seagull. Check out both of their great sites especially if you are into birds. They both do great work.
After the Muskeegee Ducks had enough of Snoop Maddie Mad trying to feed them rocks instead of bird food tthey took off. Who could blame them?
Don’t worry though, there were plenty of other birds for Snoop Mad to terrorize later in the day.
Yesterday morning I had the brilliant idea to take her out on the tennis court to kick a rubber ball around. Wouldn’t you know daughter number 2 (the one missing the fear gene) took off in a full sprint and wiped out taking a face first header on the cement. Scraped up and bleeding wouldn’t you know she was up and at ’em minutes later wanting to kick that ball around some more. She’s a maniac and I fear what I’m in for as she gets older.

Unique in the genre of exploration and adventure films, “Ice People” takes you on one of the earth’s most seductive journeys -Antarctica. Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Anne Aghion spent four months “on the ice” with modern-day polar explorers, to find out what drives dedicated researchers to leave the world behind in pursuit of science, and to capture the true experience of living and working in this extreme environment. And, as it turns out, the film also witnesses one of the most significant discoveries about climate change in recent Antarctic science.
Intense public focus on climate change has turned the shores of Antarctica into a new tourist mecca, making the earth’s coldest continent the hot place to be. But, inland from the penguins and ice floes is a magical Antarctica of volcanoes, boulder-strewn valleys and ominous glaciers. Only a small number of scientific research teams get there, braving severe conditions to learn about our planet’s history, and make predictions about our future.
“Ice People” heads out into the “deep field” with noted geologists Allan Ashworth and Adam Lewis, and two undergrad scientists-in-the-making, where they scour across hundreds of miles to find tiny, critical signs of ancient life. Their findings would give the first evidence of a green Antarctica over 14 million years ago, that disappeared with a sudden shift in the temperature of the continent.
The most authentic film about life on the ice since the trailblazing expeditions to Antarctica chronicled nearly a century ago, “Ice People” conveys the vast beauty, the claustrophobia, the excitement and the stillness of an experience set to nature’s rhythm.
“An intriguing slice-of-life that observes the area’s staggeringly beautiful and imposing landscapes and the unique challenges experienced by those who work there.” -Dennis Harvey, Variety
“Documentary filmmaker Anne Aghion follows research geologists… as they pick their way across Antarctica’s interior dry valleys, eventually discovering – in front of Aghion’s camera! -plant and animal fossils that prove the ice shelf at the bottom of the world was once green… Highly recommended!” -Jennifer Merin, About.com
“I have seen hundreds of science films, and ‘Ice People’ is unique in the way it portrays what it’s really like to do field science. Also, this is some of the best cinematography I’ve ever seen of the Dry Valleys—it’s the first time anyone has captured in motion picture the ‘Lawrence Of Arabia’ feel of Antarctica.” -Tom Wagner, Program Director for Antarctic Earth Sciences, U.S. National Science Foundation Office of Polar Program
