Blog Buddies
Even when I have nothing to say at least one of my blog buddies has something to say.
Check one or two out when you get a chance.
Gravitation
I’m in one of those lulls where writing is a chore.
I’ve reviewed and realized I haven’t written much of anything for a while that contains any real substance.
Unable to reconcile the tension (is this just a family update blog or a tool to impart spiritual encouragement) I’ve gravitated toward the family update.
That’s not the only [...]
Rotation
The girl played in her first home game last night for the Lincoln Freshman Volleyball team.
They barely won the first game but dropped the next two to lose the match.
Soccer season starts for the boy tomorrow and since his game schedules and her game schedules fall on the same day at the same time in [...]
Playlist
The band is cranking back up for another tour.
In addition to our praise oriented sets we’ve been kicking around the idea of doing some quality secular stuff.
Our drummer has an idea to do an entire set comprised of songs named after a woman.
Some choices in this genre would be Roxanne (The Police), Rosanna (Toto), and [...]
We Remember
Back To (High) School Night
We attended back to school night for Lincoln High School last night.
It consisted of 10 minutes in each of the classes of your student.
The campus is spread out and you can get a fair amount of exercise getting back and forth from class.
We walked our girls schedule, met her teachers and heard a reoccurring theme: [...]
Life Without Limbs
Nick Vujicic was born without arms or legs and has only a vestigal foot.
The newspaper I was given talked about his recent speaking engagement at St. Mary’s High School.
Would have liked to have been in the audience that day.
His story, and his approach to life seems to quell quite a bit of background noise.
TB Test
As part of my “to do” list to qualify as a substitute teacher I had to get a TB test yesterday.
Fortunately the nurse who “administered” the test had a sense of humor and understood my joke about studying for the TB test.
Of course you have a sense of humor. Everyone thinks they do, even people [...]
Not Quite, But Close Enough
We were excited to welcome Rubio’s to Stockton, California.
Even more to learn that each Tuesday’s from 2:30PM to close the fish tacos are only $1.25.
Of course only $1.25 means little when you consider that the same fish taco in Mexico is only about 80 cents every day.
Still, you take what you can get.
I understand that [...]
Hanging Pictures
We decided it was probably time to hang pictures at Casa Wray and with a long weekend it seemed like a better proposition than having dental work.
It was actually an enjoyable experience even though we had to make difficult decisions seeing as our house doesn’t have the wall space we used to have.
It’s amazing to [...]
