Eaglets! Eaglets! One of the two eggs in the live eagle nest cam in D.C. has hatched, and total cuteness has ensued! Oh, grey fuzzy wuzzy little thing (not so little-- how'd he ever fit in that egg?), I could eat you up, num, num, num-- such cuteness, it is to die. Enjoy!

Did you watch the Rose Parade? To me, it's the only televised parade still old-fashioned enough for me to enjoy. There are a few "numbers" from Honda (the sponsor) and Disneyland, but mostly it's just exquisite floats, teams of horses, and marching bands going by on a beautiful Pasadena day. Here's the telecast (about 2 hours). It's the last year as hosts for Stephanie Edwards and Bob Eubanks. I will miss them.
