"Hallelujah" is a song written by Leonard Cohen. It was first recorded on his 1984 album Various Positions, but there have been numerous covers. Jeff Buckley has rendered what I consider the best version of the song (he is pictured above). I want to introduce this blog's meager audience to this beautiful song and invite you to post the thoughts it stirs in the comments.

There was a fire on Main Street in Seal Beach. There were at least 12 fire engines and 12 other emergency vehicles from local fire and police stations. I captured some decent digital photos.

I caught the end of the Patriots vs. Eagles game on NBC's Sunday Night Football. With 1:34 left in the 3rd Quarter, it was a tight game, and the Eagles scored a touchdown to go up 28 to 24. This inspired Al Michaels (an accomplished and professional announcer) to blurt out something like, "Wow! This game has turned into a real dog fight." Then, he caught himself and mumbled, "That was a bad choice of words."
