playful penguins and a terrifying movie

The Exorcist; what a delightful romp. Cheery end to a day that began with me watching penguins at the wharf, much to my delight. Actually, the penguins zipping around under the ferry dock was one of the most delightful things I can recall seeing in this country. All but one of the rest of the people on the dock ignored the funny little birds as they zipped back and forth in pursuit of fish. Only one other fellow seemed to notice, and he and I both looked up to see who else had noticed at the same time. We grinned at each other, and I watched the birds 'til they left.

I guess Dad and Renate flew out this morning.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
