It's one of my favorites and I recommend it. <BR/><BR/>Anywho, I read that the author of the book on which the movie is based, got the idea from watching the news of a whale that came to visit New York -- Manhattan's West Side a few years ago.

How fun is that? We have seen whales in Alaska...and Hawaii...but would not expect to see them in New York. <BR/><BR/>We had a sea lion come to visit us on our farm some years back. He obviously got lost and somehow left the big rivers and made his way up the wee streams to our place. We were quite surprised to see a 350 pound sea lion sitting next to the barn...under the rain water from the eaves. We're hoping he found his way back to safer waters as well.Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/00929685771427155673noreply@blogger.com
