A small flock of BIG Canadian Geese ringed the pond yesterday, and the Bald Eagles took turns watching for fish. "Big Boy" Eagle stood guard this morning.

Media Watch: Dancing with the Stars had a surprise in store -- Tony & Stacy danced well in their free dance, but it was a LOUSY DANCE. I've been pulling for Drew & Cheryl all along, but I was scratching my head when it looked like their main competitors forgot they were in a contest.
HOW BAD WAS IT?
It was SO BAD the judges gave Jerry & Anna a better score on their free dance.
Jerry Rice steadily progressed from week to week, but those judges never warmed to his dancing.
Sunday is the season finale, and there's supposed to be ONE more judged dance.
I hope they are done with the flashbacks too -- hearing Barry Manilow forgetting his own song, and Bill Medley barely able to croak were hard to endure. Medley was a favorite of mine in the mid 60's when he led the Righteous Brothers, and I'd rather remember him singing well on TV shows like Shindig.


Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield on Shindig circa 1964
Carole Shelyne was the "dancer with the glasses"
Teri Garr also danced with this widely-watched ensemble for awhile
They were on the cover of Time Magazine in 1965
