May 27, 2012 - Clouds in Your Coffee
The week that was on Edhat was filled with pictures; an eclipse of the sun and a strange cloud that eclipsed the sky. You saw it, you took a picture of it, and you shared it with your community on Edhat. Ed thought it all worked out well.
Speaking of Ed, he may be one of the top enumerators in the world, but apparently he is not very good at keeping track of how old his dog is. Ed told the dedicated staff of edhat.com that the Edhat Dog turned nine years old last March. A recent visit to the vet, however, determined that the Dog is healthy, a tad overweight (too much popcorn?), and TEN years old! The Dog took full blame for the miscount; she said it was the result of some incident in her hard partying puppyhood past. Ed said it was his fault. Sometimes his memory gets cloudy, and eclipses skew his judgment.
Speaking of dogs, this week we remember a very special one. The Dog of the Week is Princess. The Cat of the Week is Jack Li Black. The Urban Hikers continue their coastal trek, Billy's Garden of Ed offers us a bit of useful advice. The Non-Profit of the Week is the Cielo Foundation for the Performing Arts, and Marc Liberts talks Petit Syrah.
