Good News Sunday

Since I was feeling a little of the winter blahs yesterday, I promised you I would cheer up today and give you chipper news.

Today we woke up to sunshine and since we had all the windows opened last night our apartment was just bearable (we are still walking around in our undies). Mom left me to go with Uncle Adrian for brunch and then they went to the Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design. She thought the museum was free on the Sundays for January but it actually was pay as you wish which was OK with her. They saw an exhibition of drawing room watercolors from the last three centuries, Chinese housing and children's wall paper. They found out the Cooper Hewitt is going to be re-designed (sponsored by Apple). She and Uncle Adrian thought it is about time as the building looks more like it should house armory instead of design objects. Whilst looking through the galleries, Uncle Adrian came up with a new look for me. I don't know if I'm feeling it. What do you think?

Uncle Adrian came back and played with me for awhile which was fun. While they were gone I looked for nice happy events and news that happened this past week and they were:

We finally have that car that flies, you know just like in "The Jetsons"! The Terrafugia Transition, a car that can transform into a plane takes it first flight next month. If it works out, we can expect to see it in showrooms in about 18 months. I say it's about time!! Then again, the closest me and mom have to any vehicle of transportation is a shopping cart.

This past Tuesday was The Feast of the Epiphany which in many Catholic orthodox churches is the real day of Christmas. Check out the Bulgarian men bathing together to celebrate the holiday. Christmas is a very metrosexual holiday in Bulgaria.

Cristiano Ronaldo, famous UK football star wrecked his expensive Ferrari in a tunnel. Why is this good news? Well, Cristiano and his eyebrows escaped any harm and he was able to drive in an expensive Bentley the very next day.

Button the Dalmatian gave birth to 18 pups all at once! Michelle Duggar may be the mother of 18 but she did not do it all at once like Button :) Anyway, Button now holds the record for most pups born in one birth in the UK. However she has to get at it again if she is going to beat the world record as the record is 24 pups. I wonder how many pups I would have been the proud daddy of if my mommy had not had me snipped?

And due to some very chilly weather in Europe lately, the canals in Amsterdam froze over so a good chunk of the country have been playing hooky and skating the canals. That's like us skating down the Hudson or East River! I tried looking for doggy ice skates but could not find any so I leave you with this cartoon. Have a great relaxing Sunday! Chow for now!
