Random...

I've had a lot on my mind lately. Unfortunately, I'm either unable to talk about it, or I probably shouldn't. Nothing serious - It's not like I know how to solve world hunger or fix a motorcycle or anything. So... here's some random stuff just to keep my fingers limber.
  • Our Christmas shopping is done (and has been for awhile), and it feels really good to go "shopping" and know that we don't need to do any buying. I know it's strange for a guy, but I actually do enjoy just walking around stores looking at stuff.
  • We haven't bought a camera yet, but after visiting Sunny Schick - the only REAL camera store in Fort Wayne - we've pretty much narrowed it down to the Canon Rebel. Now we're just trying to weigh $150 between the 8 mp XT and the 10 mp XTi.
  • Last week I was able to cross off a few miscellaneous items on my list of things to do at work. I updated the greeters schedule, acolyte schedule, nursery schedule, and Jr. Worship schedule. Now I just need to stuff and mail. I put the plastic on four of the big windows in the sanctuary (they let in a lot of cold air during the winter; plus they actually look better with plastic on them. But it's a real pain to do - mostly because I'm not good on a tall ladder). I got quite a bit done on the Annual Report. Pretty much just need to plug in the real numbers at the end of the year, get the finance reports, and copy and staple.
  • I wish I could find some people interested in going on a spiritual journey together.
  • There is a LOT on my mind right now.
  • It's really hard to find a good t-shirt (undershirt). I think it's best to just spend the money and get them at GAP or Banana Republic. I mean, good t-shirts are pretty important. At least to me.
  • I have never been able to deal with having my shirt tucked in for very long. I don't know why. I just can't stand it. I'm glad I only have to do it one day a week, and then only until noon.
  • I don't like ice storms. But it is kinda pretty.

My Christmas shopping is mostly booze and food, to be consumed on the premesis.

Choose carefully, I'm likely to buy the same one you do (I was thinking about the Rebel myself, but not because of any in-depth research). Get the $150 from your kids, it is they who will benefit from being able to click ZOOM a couple more times and maintain clarity. i.e.: "What's that on Dad's desk? click click... Yahtzee Dice?! Oohhh yeah..."

Speaking of people who want to be in charge, Noah never had that problem, what with having the last piece of real estate on Earth. He'd be like: "you don't like it, why don't you jump off and see if you can swim to the next PLANET!" Or "I think we're going to put you in charge of feeding the Lions... 'course, we're out of Lion Chow."

Tucking in my shirt is a daily reminder of my waistline. Someday I'll just wear bowling shirts with other people's names embroidered on them:
"Earl", "Mel", "Goudy", "Pork Chop".

...and don't forget "T-bone" and "Coco."

I don't like ice storms either, but the trees do look cool, I have B&W film in the old camera so I think I'm just going to take a picture of the nice trees as a reminder that the world can be beautiful, no matter what....
