Loved this video from CNN (scroll down and pick "Surfers Help Kids Hang 10") of Surfers Healing, a surfing camp for children with autism. Yep, you heard right. The founders are Israel ("Izzy") and Danielle Paskowitz, whose son Isaiah has autism. Check out their story here.
And I also wanted to mention this story from NPR on one mom's fight for insurance coverage for her child. I'd editorialize, but then I'd start getting outraged, and it's Sunday night after a long day--best save the outrage for another day.
Oh, and even though I'm grumpy tonight I have to say that Death at a Funeral was hilarious, madcap and an utterly excellent escape for a couple of hours. If you can, go. It's cheerful AND morbid, if you can believe it.
Well, at least we can take comfort in the fact that the SC legislature overrode the veto! The NPR page had all sorts of good links, too.
The movie? Looks hilarious! Of course, it may never come to my little town so I'll have to wait to rent it. Sigh...I miss living in a metro area!
