Wow! What a crazy weekend! (You know it has to be if I’m writing about the weekend that WAS on WEDNESDAY!!) I certainly don’t have time to detail all the fun that was had over the long weekend right here, but the brief recap is… Friday we gave our vocal chords a rare work out…
Memorial Day
(Flags hung on the front of our house… Soon to be unfurled again!) It’s Memorial Day Weekend! We’re planning to get together with Jen’s family, and my sister and family this Sunday over in Buffalo. It’s the official start of summer! But it’s also a time to remember the people who selflessly have given their…
Earth
I’ve been watching Star Trek a lot again (my Sabres are done, so… I have more viewing time.) 🙂 I love the stories… I love the idea of space travel. I even love the idea of alien worlds and cultures. Pretty neat. I have a nifty screen saver that shows a real-time satelite view of…
Musicality
It’s been a long time since we have done a “real” basic gig. Well, we did do one retreat weekend in early February, and before that we did 8 or 9 Christmas concerts… but I can’t actually remember the last time we just did a concert of our music. Tonight we’re going to be doing…
Distractions

It seems however that in Luke,…
Air Conditioner Installed!
Today is a special day for me. Every year I both rue the day, and am elated on that same day. Today I installed my window air conditioning unit in my office. And I turned it on. 🙂 IT’S SO AWESOME IN HERE!!! COOL AND DRY…. AWESOME!!! 🙂 The other day I like is when…
God Can Throw You Into Hill
Following our morning Bible reading time the other day, Jen was eating breakfast with the kids – may have been also reading a book to them – when Alex interrupts to inform her that, “God can throw people into Hill.” She was probably a bit curious as to where that originated… 🙂 Earlier that morning,…
All Good Things…
Well, the time has come… the playoffs are over, and the Sabres are headed home for the summer. All good things eventually come to an end. Click the photo above for a little tribute video to the 2007 playoff… beard. 🙂
An Eulogy
Last night I dreamt that I was a member of the Buffalo Sabres. We were at some awards presentation. I was dressed in my full uniform, as were my team mates. I know for sure Ryan Miller was there, but I forget the other guys faces. All were bummed. Most faces were sullen, gloomy… although…
More From The Starfish and The Spider
I mentioned earlier that I would be sharing some quotes from the book I have been reading. The Starfish and the Spider is about two different ways to approach organzing people. One way is to have a structured organization with centralized leadership, like a spider whose functions are all tied into its head. When the…
