Unfamiliar Territory

Oh Snap!! When I was 13 my stepmom had a boy. I was tucked nicely away about an hour from all the action. When I was 16 my stepmom had a girl. I was 610 miles south of the containment area this time. Those are the extent of my hospital visits to Mom's about to have children....Until today. I had the distinct priviledge to visit a woman in the hospital today who already had her water break, and was dialating, and had already had her epidural. I'm not going to say that I was comfortable, and I'm not going to say I knew what I was doing there, but I do know that I am ready to wait even a little longer than we are to have kids! Peace :-)

3 tails

1st -

2nd - I was planning on finishing the show I was watching yesterday evening before running out to the basketball carpool, so I planned on speeding since I was going to be late... I drive out of our development, and a cop follows me the entire way.....oh wow, how many yellow lights I stopped at!

3rd - Today I broke the law to make up for it.... running late once again I did like 80 the whole way to my church, and that is crazy for Portland (you wouldn't understand unless you lived here).

This brings me to another episode of I say the dumbest things...

So today I went to a memorial service at our church. Fair enough, but wait. I was directing traffic, and then I was showing people to the fellowship hall, and I was very busy, hold on. A guy comes up to me and starts to talk to me while I'm trying to tell some people where to go, and says, "man, this is so frustrating; all these people keep talking to me, and telling me who I'm related to and I don't know any of them..." not quite yet. I fairly well ignore him because I'm totally working doing other things, and eventually he walks away and goes and sits on a pew, almost there. Brad Nunn tells me to start looking for the owner of a car so I start asking people if they owned a red durango, and.... I go up to this guy and say, "so are you bored yet?" with like 4 people all gathered around him; every one of them and me realizing that that is an idiotic thing to ask someone who just lost a love one at the memorial service- and there it is. So plastered across my head is "I'm an Idiot!"

Patty's gaming extravaganza!!

Tonight I played the greatest thing not ever, but in a long time... My wifes classmate, and hopefully my soon to be friend has made a cool machine. It is a computer with a game emulator and over a thousand wonderful games found on tons of different consoles, connected to an actual arcade case. It has a joystick and like 8 buttons that you can jam down on as much as you want....I love it... good night world :)

The wrong way you Idiot!

Tonight my wife watched a car pull the wrong way down a one way street, then he realized it, so what did he do? Oh yes, he pulled up on the sidewalk to drive down that towards a woman who moved out of the way until he made it to the next road....answer: don't drive down a one way street! (I'm not sure, but you can probably change the he's to she's) :-)

Questions of Curiosity

So I read this blog article given to me by a church member, and it was about this agnostic Jew who reads the whole Bible, experiences all kinds of emotions, learns all kinds of things, and ends up angrily believing that God doesn't actually exist. Wow, I don't really know how that works, but one of the questions he asked I really liked:

Why in the world is there so much death and vengeance in the Old Testament and Bible followers call God a loving God?

I would like to know the answer to that as well, but if you believe in the late great egw you can find a phrase in GC about being in heaven where our views on all God's actions will change from fear and awe, to understanding and Joy. He's not content with one day we will find out, but I guess I am... what are your takes?

1-2 Punch

It's amazing that golf costs what it costs to play. It is an expensive game to play. Although everything else is starting to catch up... Movies-like $20 for two, and Taco Bell- like $5 for a meal (I used to get it for $2.17- one 7layer, 1bean burrito, side of baja sauce and a water)... times are a changing. Golf is always interesting to me, because it is an up and down game. On the 1st hole I destroyed the ball down the very center to put me 65 yds from the pin, and then chipped it inside 12'. I then Nancy'ed it about an inch shy because the greens had been aerrated, this made me angry, but I felt like a professional.....Until hole two which I double bogeyed (from glory to gross lack of measuring up). Hole 5 nearly the same story, Blasted the skin off the ball up the center, but it was a long par 4, so I was 170 from the pin. I pulled it a little off the left side of the green, but wait.....!!!.......I chipped it 6 inches from the cup.....back to pro status :-) Then came hole 7, another double bogey, and both the doubles came on par 5's. The world of golf doesn't make since, but I'll continue to play, and life will continue to be amazing one minute, and poop the next.

So, Here's my new blog site! Every day (hopefully) I am going to update it with some event that happened to me that was interesting
