We have been noticing lately that there is just WAY TOO MUCH good stuff to do in your free time. So, I have a bunch of books that I have started, and am currently “working on”, but that’s when I’m not watching the stuff we’ve TiVoed, or catching up on podcasts, or playing some vintage…
Personal
Various Things
Kirsten joined us for reading the Bible today (usually it’s just Dad & the boys…) and in today’s story, Jesus was going to have dinner with one of the Pharisee’s named Simon. Well, we had just been talking about how we’d like to go to Wendy’s for dinner, so I said, “Maybe they went to…
Seventeen Years
Tonight is the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship game. 9pm on CBS. We’ll be gathered round the TV, probably with a snack or two, watching OSU go for the victory in Championship II vs the Univ of FL. (We’re rooting for the Buckeyes…) But more than basketball, tonight is a celebration of seventeen years of…
Simply Fascinating
This morning as I was taking my shower, I turned to face the water to rinse off my soapy face and I felt a breeze. I thought, “That’s odd,” and opened my eyes. It was just the water shooting out, displacing the air, and making a little “breeze”. You don’t necessarily think that when the…
Rainy Days and Mondays
So, after I posted the previous post this morning, about losing that article and stuff, I remembered that really the day has not started that well in other ways… I was just feeling “down” in the shower and I remembered that first, my regular morning walk had been interrupted by a thunderstorm. I had to…
Ouch…
I was inspired to write a fairly long post from a conversation I had over the weekend at about 1:30am last night. Just after 2am I was done and ready to post it, but wanted to change the title. I tabbed through the fields of this page here, and went to far, so I quickly…
Marveling
I was listening to a podcast from NASA the other day that described a recent photo session from a satellite in a synchronous orbit around the sun, 1 million miles behind the earth. They had captured the moon passing in front of the sun, except, since it was 1,000,000 miles away, the moon was a…
Getting Warmer…
I am very different from most other people. Many of you reading this website know that already, as you know me outside of my blog. But for those of you who might just be passing by, or only know me from my blog (hmm… you may still be able to know that I’m a bit…
Why Do We Love?
I went for my morning walk today, despite the couple inches of snow on the ground from a persistent late-winter blanketing we are getting this week. (AND I AM LOVING!) 🙂 I was up pretty early to help Julia and then just decided to head out for a nice brisk walk with my iPod shuffle…
Lunar Eclipse March 3rd
Saw this come across my desktop today, and wanted to share. I’m a huge fan of things that happen outside of our atmosphere… this should be pretty cool. Check the page below for the story and a map of when and where to watch 🙂 NASA – March 3, 2007, Lunar Eclipse
