OT -- Taking a Delightful Break in Between Signings

At the Smithsonian National Zoo, there is a new addition! On July 9th, giant panda Mei Xiang gave birth to a cub.

Read the log on mom and baby's progress and watch and listen to them "Panda Cam" LIVE. (Due to heavy traffic, the camera is sometimes inaccessible and you may have to keep trying. As I send this (9:00 am on Saturday, 7/16), all I can see is mom's back, but I had to keep clicking back and forth between Cam I and Cam II until the busy error message cleared!)

Enjoy!
