Captain Phillips--Wow. Tom Hanks is amazing.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1535109/?ref_=nv_sr_6

Just watched this tonight, and I am still shaking. Very intense movie, based on a true story, with great performances all around. Tom Hanks is superb.

I give it my highest recommendation.

Modern technology allows this blind mom to see her newborn son.

Kathy Beitz has been legally blind since she was 11 years old.

She had never even seen a baby before, but with an amazing new technology, she was able to gaze upon her newborn son.

The 29-year-old Ontario woman became the latest recipient of eSight glasses, which use a video camera to record images which are then enhanced and projected onto screens in front of the eyes.


All of it at the link.

From his wife:

A Christopher Green update:

OMG! Chris is moving today to Kindred Hospital, a rehab facility, but specifically to the LTAC unit. It is still in Cleveland, just a bit further east from the clinic, up Fairhill. I am so excited!

I decorated his room at the clinic for Christmas and here are the pictures. The last one is Chris in the ICU on Christmas.
