Looking for a bit of humor and silliness today, I decided to just post a couple of cat vids. These are two of my favorites.
This is An Engineer’s Guide to Cats. I’m quite the fan of these guys and their vids.
And now, for the Mean Kitty song.
Life got in the way, so our boys didn’t get their moment in the limelight yesterday. Today they get to shine.
This is part two. Part one can be found here.
One morning we woke up to rain. It’s the rainy season in San Francisco. It wasn’t a heavy rain, but it was enough. We had wanted to get out and walk and so we debated. We suddenly realized that we had not been to the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park for quite a while and that the rain would keep the crowds down.

I just really love the vids by these guys. The music is the Barcarole from The Tales of Hoffman by Offenbach. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
The other day, we escaped the apartment and went to Golden Gate Park. While there, we took a stroll around Lloyd Lake. Please join me for some pretty scenery and a bit of history about this small jewel in the park.

As usual, Friday night is time for our boys to shine. I also decided to toss in a bonus pick of our Golden Gate Bridge. I have lived here for 8 years and I never get tired of seeing it. I hope you enjoy all three pics.

Since my last two posts were serious and sad, I thought I would lighten the mood a bit. I’ve always been very amused by this video and I hope you are too.
First, the missing. Actor Per Oscarsson and his wife are missing after their home burned in Skara, Sweden. You can read about it here.
Born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1927, Per Oscarsson has been one of Sweden’s most respected actors in film, both on stage and tv. He won the Cannes Film Festival and National Society of Film Critic’s award for Hunger (1966). He is known more here for his performance in The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked a Hornet’s Nest.
Our heart goes out to the family and we hope they have closure soon.
Anne Francis
A while back I wrote about losing Leslie Neilsen. I had posted a picture from a movie that he starred in called Forbidden Planet. His love interest was Anne Francis.
Now, both of them are gone. Anne Francis was born in Ossining, New York. She was a model and did soap/radio work early on. By the age of 11, she made her stage debut in Broadway’s “Lady in the Dark”. She had a very busy career and appeared in a great many tv shows and movies. One of her most famous roles was as television’s first female detective in Honey West. She lost her battle against pancreatic cancer on Sunday.
Our condolences to her family, friends, and fans. She will be missed.
Pete Postlethwaite
Pete Postlethwaite has lost a long time battle with cancer. He was 64. Born in 1946 to a working class family in Northern England, he developed an interest in acting while in college. From his beginnings as a drama teacher, he branched out to the theater and then film and television in the 80s. In 1993, he was nominated for an Oscar for playing the father of Daniel Day-Lewis in “In the Name of the Father”.
As before, our condolences to his family, friends, and fans. He too will be missed.
Happy New Year everyone! I don’t have much for today. However, I wanted to post a favorite picture of mine. It was one of the first I took with my camera and I just got very lucky. The picture, as you see it, is upside down. It is a reflection in the pond at the Palace of Fine Arts here in San Francisco. I found the picture to be more interesting upside down, so here it is.
