This song is what mom plays when she cleans our cages every day. Usually we listen to Rufous Wainwright singing from the "SHREK" soundtrack. It makes us all cry because, well, we just do. We feel touched by a Presence Divine, even in the midst of poo, pee, and hay flying everywhere. It's so human, so guinea piggie, so universally saturated in Mercy. So, here is kd lang at the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics 2010. We would like to listen to this one, too, maybe at night when mom gets us all ready for bed and we say our goodnight prayers of gratitude for having our new lives, together; we are One, we are Love.

Hallelujah!

And face it, people, does she move you to tears or are you a rock?

EDWIN'S SEAT BEHIND PEOPLE IN WHITE!

Edwin miraculously walked into the Olympics and scored a seat to Opening Ceremonies within two hours of the start. He sat only feet from the Athlete's entrance and even got an autograph from the Armenian alpine skier while she marched with her team! His face is actually on this video. He had fun!

THRILLS AND SPILLS: SHORT TRACK SPEEDSKATING! NOT FOR SHY PIGS!

This is how Mom and Edwin skate!  Mom falls down for no reason, but when Edwin fell, he always made sure to take out a few competitors with him!   Bad Edwin.

Mom once found herself racing along, humming to herself when the next thing she saw were her own skates flashing before her eyes. In that split-second, she thought, "That's a  bit odd?" and next  thing she was bouncing off the ice on her bright, blue helmet!  Bounce, bounce, bounce. That's MOM!

Edwin, he's just BAAAAaaaaaaaaaadDD!  If he goes down, you do not want to be on the ice, near the ice, in the arena, even in the same city, state, or country.  You might not even want to be on the Earth.  That is why they built the Space Station: so somebody would still survive to keep mankind alive, whenever Edwin raced.

That is a fact.  Ask NASA. Or U.S. Speedskating.  Or anybody in Western Washington, USA.  Or Mom.
