Pamparo in Toronto

We had a family night-out today to see the Disney animation Bolt. It was a good kid’s movie. There are also plenty of parts that kept even adults laughing. It was fun seeing the characters Bolt (dog), Mitten (cat) & Rhino (hamster) embark in a cross-country journey to find Penny. For some reason, there are too many pigeons in the movie. I think it would have been better if some of the pigeons were seagulls. Oh yeah, Rhino is so much fun!!!

Although I would not give it a 5-star rating, it is still worth seeing it in the theaters just because its 3D. We had a blast, and really, that is what made this night/movie really special and memorable. What a blessing!

I just bought Ambrosia’s album “Ambrosia: Anthology” from iTunes tonight. I have to be honest that I didn’t really know how good this band was since I only heard a couple of their “soft-rock” on the radio when I was growing up. Beside the regular hits like “You’re the Only Woman”, “Biggest Part of Me”, “How Much I Feel” and “I Just Can’t Let Go”, this album is filled with great progressive-rock tracks that I am really enjoying.

I am sure that I am going to have this on my regular rotation of subway-listening playlist! How about you, what have you been listening to lately?

Today, November 11, we commemorate Remembrance Day in Canada to remember those who have given their lives in the forefront of the battle fields and to all those who have and are still serving for the benefit of us all.

In Flanders Fields
by: Lt.-Col. John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Please take a moment of silence and continue to pray for them. God has dominion over everything, including the conflicts that are happening in our world today.
