		<description><![CDATA[Birds have eyelashes I never realized that before we got Spunkmeyer. Sometimes I can see them in pictures of birds, but most times not. Not only do they have eyelashes, but they like them to be very gently rubbed, or at least Spunkmeyer will tilt his head right over upside down and backwards in order to put his eyelashes right by the finger you&#8217;ve been stroking his neck with. Don&#8217;t know if birds can show emotional expressions or not, but if they can, then Spunkmeyer is in pure ecstasy when he&#8217;s having his little eyelids rubbed. Why do I go to church? Riding to church this morning, and a really neat song by Keith and Kristen Getty came on the radio &#8211; See What a Morning. The last words of each stanza are &#8220;For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!&#8221; I thought, &#8220;That&#8217;s why I go to church.&#8221; I suppose there are all kinds of reasons that going to church might be a more or less pleasant experience (I tend to like it), but that&#8217;s the &#8220;why do I do this&#8221; answer and the only one that really matters. However, it is my goal to someday belong to a church where THIS song is sung: Speak O Lord Speak, O Lord, as we come to You To receive the food of Your Holy Word. Take Your truth, plant it deep in us; Shape and fashion us in Your likeness, That the light of Christ might be seen today....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My blog is one year old today. I still don&#8217;t have anything to say to the world, but I&#8217;m rather enjoying my little interactive &#8220;journal.&#8221; Sound and pictures make all the difference, I guess. Never could get much into keeping a journal without that dimension. I suppose it&#8217;s fun, too, that other people can comment on my stuff. Of course, that means my deepest, darkest secrets don&#8217;t make it onto these pages, unless someone thinks they can analyze that dream I had the other day and come up with something there. Anyway, if you&#8217;re coming along for my ride, enjoy. I intend to.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Drunk deposits horse in bank for nightWed Apr 25, 2007 11:25 AM ET BERLIN (Reuters) &#8211; A German man called on his bank for an unusual service when he was too tired and drunk to go home &#8212; he bedded down there for the night with his horse. The man, identified as Wolfgang H. by German media, went to sleep next to cash machines in the local branch of the Mittelbrandenburgische Sparkasse in Wiesenburg southwest of Berlin after unsaddling his horse Sammy and closing the door. A spokeswoman for the bank said that aside from an undesirable deposit made by his horse inside the building, the 40-year-old account holder had not breached any house rules. &#8220;The horse was otherwise very well behaved and kept a good watch on his master,&#8221; she said Wednesday. &#8220;Perhaps we should have a supply of oats and water on the premises in future.&#8221; Another customer discovered the horse and rider as he slept and informed police, who asked the man to leave. A police spokesman said that since the horse&#8217;s droppings had been removed, the matter was now closed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maturing cheese becomes Internet starThu Apr 26, 2007 9:08 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) &#8211; A large English cheddar cheese has become a star of the Internet, attracting more than 1 million viewers to sit and stare at it as it slowly ripens. First placed in front of a webcam in late December, the Westcombe cheddar from West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers leaped to public attention in early February and has since attracted viewers from 119 countries. &#8220;The hits went over 1 million this morning. It has been a real challenge keeping the cheese up and running with all the interest it has generated,&#8221; a spokesman for the company running the website, www.cheddarvision.tv, said Wednesday. Watchers have tuned in from as far afield as Albania and New Zealand, although most are from the United States where a school has even sent in pictures of two crocodiles to guard the cheese. &#8220;The whole idea was to show people how real food is made &#8212; and it seems to be working,&#8221; cheesemaker Tom Calver said. &#8220;It takes a year for the cheese to mature. This is not fast food. It is slow food.&#8221;]]></description>
