A US Airways plane with 155 people on board ditched into a chilly

I thought it would be fun to record my 5K runs at the gym. Whenever I am not training with JohnJohn (usually 3 times a week) I go and run - so on average 4 times a week at least 5 kilometers.

Cannot wait for iMovie09.

Francesco Cavalli wrote this opera in 1662 so quite a while ago, but is still fun to see and nice to hear. The Dutch Opera in direction of David Alden made it into a very enjoyable hour or two - then we realized the opera would last for an other two hours - which is way to much, so we called it a day ;-)
