No book plans for 2009.
Ever since we had our family photos taken in Newton a few weeks ago. (Thank you Megan…and I highly recommend her…)
I have been getting more and more into photography. (A huge thank you to my sister-in-law for letting me borrow her camera…) It is pretty addicting.
Anyways here are some of the results. (Yes, way too many results…sorry long post, but aren’t these kids cute…oh yeah and one of them this gals kids…)
as in . . .
“ad astra per aspera”
“to the stars through difficulties”
That is the motto of the great state of Kansas. How often have you heard a motto that had an implied negative in it. Why did they not just stop at “to the stars?” Because its Kansas. And that is what makes us great. And dare I say better?
We don’t beat around the bush. We tell it like it is. Yea, you can get the stars, but it is going to be hard work.
And what about companies and ummm, churches now a days. We all leave off anything to do with hardship or reality on our vision statements or company missions. Don’t want to scare anyone off.
I don’t know, I haven’t completely got this idea formed out yet, but something is there. Some thing to add to my anti-conference whenever it happens. This might not be a main session talk, more like a break out . . .
Ethan had a special visitor at his 4th birthday party last month…
And he wasn’t too scared off by the caped crusader…
I was “gone” for that part of the party so I missed our guest…
Why are there pretzels in the chex mix? Does any one like them? Do they serve any purpose other than filler?
Same in Gardetto’s or any type of mix you make. Everyone I have talked to doesn’t like them. But they are cheap and take up space, so they keep showing up.
I mean I like them OK, by themselves or whatever. But, they never take on the flavor of the mix. They don’t absorb the spices. They just taste like dry, blah pretzels.
If there is a big bowl of homemade chex mix I am rummaging around the pretzels to get to every thing else.
“Man Cave” has to be the most overused phrase of 2009. Lets hope there is something new in twenty-ten. And having Charlie Sheen using it in an NFL ad holding a laptop is surely shark jumping (former overused phrase…)
I am fully on the bandwagon and pretty much addicted to fantasy football in just 3 short weeks. My sons don’t understand that “playing” fantasy football means you actually do nothing. They keep wondering when I am going to suit up and “play” football. They obviously don’t know the true work that goes into the “Wild Bohrers.)
I built a homemade antenna of of coat hangars and a 1 x 4 to recieve over the air, hd, digital signal. In the dark, ha. Cable will never have my money.
I am staying up too late most nights. I love the late night. AND I love the early morning. Right now mornings are losing. I wish I had afternoons off.
In my mind I going to give up Mountain Dew each new day. It normally lasts til about 10am. On a good day.
I like Julie and Julia and I liked Taken.
Guess this has gone around a lot. But new to me.
Advertising used to be great.
You are not great.
You cannot hit home runs. (Most likely).
Most people will never know you.
Most people will never know you existed.
Your best may be average.
Your best may be C work.
I am striving for average.
Good is not my enemy.
Good is fine.
Fine is good.
I was never called to be great. (Holy, yes).
You are not great.
God is.
That was Sunday after my Corn post. Ironic.
(Yes, I did eat mine…I think finally all of the corn “stuff” is out of my teeth).
Corn is a vegatable.
Since when did it become something else. A starch, a grain, a whatever. Then is an apple a fruit or a sugar? Is corn a plant? It is a vegatable. And while we are on it, so are potatoes. Good ones at that.
And don’t give me any modern food pyramid arguments either. Those pyramids have all changed since I was a kid and everyone knows those have been taken over by crazed vegans and liberals. (And communists.) (Are their any conservative vegans?)
And don’t give me corn on the cob. I want to eat it with a spoon. Not get it all over my face, all over my hands (or have to use odd extra utensils jammed in the ends that may or may not be made to look like a pair of turkeys or something) and stuck all up in my teeth. Forget about it all together wearing braces.
In fact, give it to me cream style if you really want it to be good. Then chewing is even optional. Whatever is easiest.
Food shouldn’t be hard work.
I don’t know if we are supposed to thank Oprah or Obama or what. This new socialism is agreeing with me.
Thank you K”G”C
And yes, that is a water. I guess there is such a thing as a free lunch.
