Seems I've read several posts lately on some of the more "famous" blogs that were being critical of a lack of content from many bloggers. So I thought I would set the record straight on this one...
My blog is basically a personal weblog (blog). That means I usually write about things that are on my mind or stuff that I find interesting. Now, I also hope to write things that are of interest to you too, because, even though it's a personal weblog, I do still appreciate those of you who drop by here and read and/or leave comments. I 'try' to be sensitive so as to not offend others. I also try to post things that are informative from time to time (I wish I could more often).
So... that being said... I guess if you don't like my blog, maybe you shouldn't read it. Sorry to let you down. For the rest of you, I am very thankful. I feel honored that anyone would read anything I write. Thanks.
MY THANKSGIVING DAY
This Thanksgiving was pretty darn awesome for me. Both kids spent the day (and night) here. I got to sleep in until around 7:30; had lots of coffee; messed with the computer; had a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving meal (Jane is one of the best cooks I know of); had a loooong nap (through most of the Detroit/Miami game); THE COWBOYS WON BIG (this has been known to make or break Thanksgivings in the past - often breaking them lately); and later we all went to see "Little Miss Sunshine" at the dollar theater. It was the second time Jane and I had seen it, and it was still just as funny (Warning: the language is pretty bad. It is rated R). Funny thing, there were only 2 other people watching the movie with us, so it was almost like watching it on a big screen at home - other than this terrible odor, and no dog, or couch).
At any rate, a really, really good Thanksgiving as far as I'm concerned. Tomorrow we're heading to the RCA Dome in Indy to watch our high school football team (Norwell) play for the 3A State Championship. That should be fun.
On the Brain: I have been thinking about the concept of "Intellectual Bullying" lately. Perhaps a post will be forthcoming.
Peace, friends. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving too. What is it they call this day-after-thanksgiving??? Can't remember, but it seems like a good day to revolution(ate). (I remember one Friday-after I went to the mall and just walked around and silently prayed for people I saw - you know, that they wouldn't let the frenzy get the best of them).

Haven't been reading the "more famous" blogs...haven't been reading the less famous ones, either ;). Maybe everyone's just been so full of thankfulness lately, they haven't had time on both ends...
The day after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday" 'cause it's the day most retailers finally run "in the black". I didn't leave my house Friday, but from all the folks I've talked to who did (my husband being one of them, to accompany my brother-in-law to buy a handy-dandy new golf club), people were lined up before anything opened. He's never done anything like that before, and he couldn't believe it.
Another guy in our Bible fellowship at church said he had gone at 4:30 a.m. to get something electronic; said the line was wrapped around Best Buy, maybe 1,000 in front of him (he wasn't able to get anything he "wanted"). Following that comment, someone mused, "Gosh...wouldn't it be cool if people were lined up like that to learn about Jesus? To spend time with HIM?" I dunno....that hit me as sadly profound.
Much peace...today might be Bloggin' Monday :).
Hi Robin,
Thanks for reminding me of "black friday." And, what... you mean you don't have people line up like that at your church? :)
Hope your blog is working better.
peace,
