In the Shadow of the Moon

OK, so its been a long time since I posted. Neither the men or women Tarheels won the NCAA championship. The Hurricanes didn't make the playoffs. Its spring and the weather is glorious.

I went to Washington D.C. with my daughter and some of her friends to see Lily Allen, who is just great.

And I went to the Full Frame documentary film festival and saw "In the Shadow of the Moon."

This is a documentary that is almost completed about the men who have walked on the moon. It is fabulous -- great interviews with the surviving astronauts (except Neil Armstrong who doesn't do interviews) and absolutely incredible footage. Its truly amazing. The filmmaker said it should have a theatrical release this fall with the DVD coming out in early 2008. Discovery Channel is in on this, so hopefully it will also be broadcast.

I also started reading the Pulitzer winner "The Race Beat" about the reporters who covered the Civil Rights Movement. Fascinating story.

It's no wonder you post so seldom; You have nothing to say.

Hey thanks for the great blog, I love this stuff. I don’t usually do much for Earth Day but with everyone going green these days, I thought I’d try to do my part.

I am trying to find easy, simple things I can do to help stop global warming (I don’t plan on buying a hybrid). Has anyone seen that EarthLab.com is promoting their Earth Day (month) challenge, with the goal to get 1 million people to take their carbon footprint test in April?... I took the test, it was easy and only took me about 2 minutes and I am planning on lowering my score with some of their tips.

I am looking for more easy fun stuff to do. If you know of any other sites worth my time let me know.
