Timbuktu and Kalamazoo

While I have complained before about the apparent prejudice against men's business apparel, I must confess that some days when I don't have anything too formal happening I do get to wear flip-flops. However I learned something today and as a good friend wish to pass along what I can so as to save others from my misfortune (my mother always said, "Smart people learn from their mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes of others"). I am blessed to have at my desk a chair that is big and comfy and wheels around from here to there. This chair, being one that wheels around from here to there, has 5 wheels on the bottom, each of which has about 2 square inches of contact with the ground. When you take my weight and divide it by 10 square inches you come up with about .............ah................mmmm................ a good number of pounds per square inch. Now add in the fact that when one wears flip-flops it feels so good to flip them off every now and again...........

Blown away by the winds of aging are the days of waiting for summer to hit so I will have some time to relax, just kick back and enjoy. I did not think that I had a lot to do this summer until I started working on the projects and was like, "O wow, there are a few things to do..." However, while I don't have a lot of time on my hands, I am enjoying two books that were given to me recently. The Unquenchable Worshiper written by Matt Redman is a description of one who wants to worship God. I just got it yesterday but the few chapters I have read God has already used to show me several things. God Is The Issue: Recapturing the Cultural Initiative written by Brad Bright (son of Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ) is a call for Christians to not be surprised when an ungodly world acts ungodly. Instead of engaging the world on the symptoms engage them on the core issue, what do they think about God. I very much ...

Even though I just found out there was a much simpler way to do what I just did, playing with HTML/CSS is much more fun!

Incredulity is a 2' 8" 5 year old coming up to a 6' 1" 16 year old and saying, "Hey squirt, you want to go play?"

My parents had a friend that lived in Southern California who used to say that he didn't know if he could live anywhere else. He said that he would miss getting up in the morning and hearing the birds cough. Today, the National Lung Association released it's annual national air quality report. Most people would use this document to determine the best place to live. However, as I looked at it, I noticed that I moved from the 14th cleanest to the 15th worst ( incidentally, there are two other top 20 worst around where I live). Then, as if this is not enough, in the fall I am moving to THE worst place for air quality in the entire US. Maybe I should rethink this decision?

Today the sour cream..............went sour.
