Sparta the Mean Kitty
The videos above are from YouTube, and feature Sparta. Click on them to watch these clever videos his owner has posted on YouTube. He is an Egyptian Mau, though he looks like a Bengal. (Bengals are a cross between an Asian Leopard cat and a domestic shorthair). In one video, you'll notice how Sparta fetches. (it's because they are VERY smart). I Hope you enjoy these short clips.
(PS. Sometimes weird videos will appear. Refresh the browser until the kitties show up).

k.d. lang sings for Olympic Opening Ceremonies
At the opening ceremonies last night for the 21st Winter Olympics , k.d. lang sang Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelulia". With the background of thousands of candles, it was a very moving performance. For those of you that didn't see it, you missed something special. I still am of the firm belief that this woman, a Canadian by birth, has one of the best vocal voices in the world. Below is the video of the song sung in Winnepeg in for the Juno Awards in 2005. If I can get ahold of a video of the performance at the Opening ceremony, I will post it. Isn't the song beautiful? Just listen to the words for the message it sends.
