Welcome to another Link-Friday post. I know it’s been forever since last I posted,
but this week I really couldn’t let slip by.
Our first link is to an article about a true American
hero. It’s about a soldier that was
nearly killed in Afghanistan by a suicide bomber. This is the story of his purple heart being
awarded and his actions afterwards.
Enjoy.
Once upon a time there was a movie named BIG. In this movie there was a BIG piano. It was played by a BIG kid and a BIG
boss. When all was said and done, it was
a BIG deal. Here’s a link to the modern
day remake by the same BIG actor (and also a clip of the original scene from
the movie).
This link is more for me…
This is a time-lapse video of Space Shuttle Endeavour’s Final Ride to its
new home. As a space nut, I enjoy things
like this. As a space nut, it also hurts
as we should still be flying SOMETHING into space. So, for me, a truly bittersweet video.
This next link tears me up.
I have watched many relatives and friends pass through the journey known
as cancer – some have survived and some have not. This link is about a man who did the right
thing to brighten someone’s day that really needed it.
And now for my final link – a link about sleep. We all wonder what really goes on inside our
brains when we sleep. Up until now I thought
I understood all the physiological changes, brain wave patterns, etc. However, my “all knowing” understanding of
what happens has just been taken down a notch by new research that shows sleep
does a lot more than just cause dreams and wave patterns.
And so we once again leave another Link-Friday. Thanks for taking the time to read.
