Good News

Good News...

Two simple words. Generally we don't here it enough. We really don't focus on it at all. All of our focus goes towards bad news. I'm getting a little burned out on bad news. I want to hear some good news. If you have any good news and you are willing to share, please share with us.

I have good news, we got a Wii yesterday. It is way too sweet!

Tornado

I just want to ask for prayers from anyone that reads this and wishes to do this. My mother lives in Lafayette Tennessee. Lafayette was the worst hit city in the tornado's. She is fine and did not receive any damage to her house. Many in her town and her husbands family did not pan out so well. My step-dad's family was effected. His nephew no longer has a home. It was completely destroyed. The town still doesn't have power so a lot of the people that freeze meat and vegetables may be at a large loss for the food supply the so depend on. My step-dad is doing all he can to help out the people he know by taking a generator over and recharge their freezers so they don't loose all of that food. He is only one person and can't do it all. Please pray for the people that lost family and also for the ones that lost their homes.

Thank you

Misc. Tuesday

It has been a couple days since I last spoke. I am brewing up something special I'm just not finished with it yet. Until then here are some random things.

Super Tuesday - Lord help us all. (no more politics, I promise)

1 Week from today my daughter Bailey turns 6 and my son Bryson turns 2.

It's February, it's 60 degrees and it was lightening this morning. Go figure.

Bobby Knight retired yesterday.

Unless you live under a rock, the New York Giants won the Superbowl. My friend Aaron predicted it. I knew he would be eventually right with a prediction.

6 Weeks until my family leaves for Disney.

Michael Jordan can't afford a concrete driveway. (see dirtonit.com "It's Rivalry Week")

My friend Aaron was talking about his 100,000 hit today, well, I have 100 so there. (does it count if half of them are hits from me?)

Have a great day and feel free to leave a comment. 

Man-crush

In leu of the super bowl this weekend I will admit something. I'm coming out of the closet. I have a man-crush on Peyton Manning. Maybe it's because he is a great quarterback. Maybe it's because he is on a great football team (The Colts if you live under a rock). Maybe it's because I have a Peyton Manning 12 month calendar posted right next to my computer at work and my co-works give me grief about having a man-crush on him. Maybe it's because he is a pretty good person and doesn't get into trouble. Maybe, just maybe, he is the best TV commercial spokesman out there today. To all of my slightly larger friends out there, this ones for you!

Friend Part Deux

My first follow up blog. Eventually I will stop saying "My first". I promise.

Getting back to the point. I just wanted to follow up with the importance of a friend. I had lunch today with my friend Aaron and let me tell you it was nice. It was nice to talk and be heard and also to be spoken to and listen. I am ashamed to say this but it was my first lunch with someone other than a family member or a co-worker since I moved to Ohio over 4 1/2 years ago. I guess I didn't realize how important it truly is. Thanks Aaron.

My oldest daughter Bailey and I will be at our monthly All Pro Dads breakfast. If you live around the Hilliard, Ohio area please stop by. It is a great time. I know this focuses on Dads and their children but who know, maybe I will meet a new friend.

Welcome Arms Wide Open Guests

See what Aaron did. He sent you here. Now what?

Well, I'm not sure. I'll have some family stuff. I will reflect on my feelings. (did I really just say that?) We will talk some sports. (Tiger, Cubs, Colts in no particular order) I love people getting hurt videos so there will be some of them. I will leave the 80's stuff to Aaron because he is so good at that and I don't want to plagiarize he great works.

Most of the time I am not serious so please don't take offense to things I say. I'm here to have fun with this and share a little of me along the way. Plus I'm over 30 now so my memory is starting to leave me so this is kind of a Journal also.

Bon Appétit
