Video

I love, LOVE this short video that Craig put together recently. The kiddos were playing near the window with the curtains. It's dark, it's moody, and for some reason when I watch it, I want to cry. Notice how boy boy is now shaking his head rapidly, as if he's saying no, except he doesn't understand that yet.

It's a fairly large file, and even though it's streaming, you may want to wait a minute before clicking the play button. And make sure you have your speakers on because the sound track is what makes it good.




ps. I am so sick of all the video hosting sites that screw up our files with their stupid generic compression algorithms. So I am rebelling and hosting this on my own site, which could (and probably will) have an impact on my storage space and bandwidth. I'll deal with that next Tuesday.

pps. Whenever Craig asks me something that I don't wish to answer (whether that's because I don't know the answer or I don't want to think about the answer), I always tell him... I'll let you know on Tuesday.

ppps. The reason I choose to use Tuesday is because of that song about the supposed speech Kurt Vonnegut gave years ago. Remember the one where he addresses the graduating class at MIT and tells them to wear sunscreen? He also says, "The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday."
