Things We Talked About Today

-After our conversation earlier this week with the guy talking about his new cat show on Animal Planet, John has a cat that has taken up residence on his patio, in Evan's playhouse. Despite John's attempts to run off the cat, it keeps coming back. Amy thinks it may be pregnant. John thinks if it is pregnant that it may have chosen his patio as the place to give birth. Is the cat trying to turn John into a cat lover so it can get on the TV show? We don't know, but don't count on that happening anytime soon.

-The price of coffee keeps increasing. Starbucks increased their prices this week on the fancy drinks. Local Dunkin Donuts stores say they don't plan to hike prices, but grocery store coffees are costing more. The culprit is the cost of Columbian beans. If you can learn to like beans from other countries, you won't pay as much. Read more

-Our movie guy, Bob Waliszewski, of Focus on the Family gave us his take on 4 new movies out this weekend. Before seeing You Again or Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Bob recommends reading his full review at www.pluggedin.com. Bob had positive things to say about each of them but wants you to know a few things before you see them. He likes Like Dandelion Dust, based on the book by Karen Kingsbury, but some adoption groups say it paints an unrealistic picture of the adoption process. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga-hoole got a perfect score from Bob, but he doesn't recommend it for really small children.

-The Augusta Ironman triathalon is Sunday and over 3,000 athletes are participating. Lis Heckman of Florida proves that you're never too old to participate in this sort of challenge. She is 71 years old and is no stranger to the Ironman. Read more
