Fun Game 1:34 PM

My office sits right off of the main hallway in the church. Attached to the church is an early learning center which has its main door at the end of the hallway, about twenty feet from my office, so kids are frequently walking past in the old-fashioned semi-straight-but-ever-bending preschool line. The teachers have implemented "bubbles (puffing out your cheeks with air) and ducktails (woo - ooo) (hands behind your back pointed out) " in order to make sure the kids stay quiet and keep their hands to themselves.

Here's a game that makes my day awesome. When the kids walk by, I wave at them. It is amazing and hilarious how many of them break their ducktails (!) and wave back - because even if I wave at only one kid, all the other kids see that kid waving at someone and they start waving too. It's like domino's (not the pizza) with each kid trying to out-wave the other. Not sure how the teachers feel about it - but it is hilarious.

Moving Day....er....Moving Weekend 11:03 PM

Let me first appologize for the lack of recent updates. I have spent the last couple of days letting the love of my posse percolate as much as possible. (Lame comment alert) What an incredible blessing it has been to live in the Asbury community with so many quality people.

I'm not sure I can string a coherent paragraph together (at least one you want to read), so here's some quick thoughts on moving.

1) Loading the U-Haul truck is life size Tetris. We kept loading and loading and waiting for that long straight line to drop. Luckily, we got it. Who said video games didn't influence you and/or make a positive impact on your life? Everybody say it with me - do, do-do-do, do, do, do, do, do dee, do, do. Lamech, AnneMarie, and Jeremiah sang it with me :)

2) There is a reason the makers of EZ Off (oven cleaner) tell you to wear long gloves. It makes your skin BURN and BUBBLE. And it hurts. Bad.

3) Furnishing the new crib in Target today overheard this conversation:
Big Brother (as mom was walking into the door): Who's that walking the door?
Little Sister: Mommy.
Big Brother: No. That's my mommy. You were abandoned...........You were abandoned.
(if you want to hear it - it's even better!! - call Dana!!)

4) The new crib is very spacious and nice. Very homey. I have a "man bathroom"! Best part? Basketball goal in the back. 8/10 on the first go-round baby.

5) Wierd sleeping in a new place. When does it become "home"?

6) I have killed 304 spiders. Wait. 305.

7) We don't get Fox. Because Fox was the only channel we got consistently in the Bettie, all my shows are on Fox. We do get NBC crystal clear - yeah Office! - but what about American Idol, the People's Court, and most importantly Nanny 911?!

8) After watching my wife clean / work for the past four days, I have come to an important realization. Dana is a robot.

9) Driving the U-Haul is more scary than manly. You can't go fast and every single tractor / truck / tractor-trailer is about to hit you.

10) Sitting in the U-Haul truck at a red light, and one of the Broadway youth sees me and yells "Jason!! Hey!!" Made me smile.

11) Jazz season ended this week. I was sad, but it was offset by the quality of the week and the fact that they got as far as they did.

12) Stuff gets lost easily moving. I have no idea where some of my stuff is. So, I'm going to find stuff.

Be blessed!
