People in Belize City, Belize

south of the border

Today we visited Isla Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras. Whenever I see places like this, I think of the artwork of one of my favorite Disney artists: Mary Blair

Shining

as a romantic comedy:

Alexander McQueen

another visionary passed :(

afternoon walk

Tim & Zeus

this stump looked like a long-snouted creature slinking across the ground

Eew - a "freshly" dead snake - how did that happen in this weather?

imagine being a mouse

Diesel, in a "relaxed" pose, kicking back on Tim's lap -- he cracked me up

"To be hopeful...

... in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

good advice

"All I ask is one thing, and I'm asking this particularly of young people that watch: Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record, it's my least favorite quality. It doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, I'm telling you, amazing things will happen."
