1. Ran into(not literally) a very polite deaf guy at Wal-Mart today. Is it wrong to yell insults at non-lip reading deaf people? What about making obscence gestures at a blind person? Just don't do it. Be nice. 2. Youth Christmas party tonight! Looking forward to White Elephant(Andy says we can't say Dirty Santa at church) ...

Wet and Cold Wednesday
1. 81 year-old Joe Paterno got a three year contract extension. Penn State has improved the last few years and calls for his retirement have subsided. Multi-year contracts in college football mean nothing. They are only there to "insure" recruits that the coach is on solid footing. I hope I'm still in the game ...
Things I think I dreamed
1. When I woke up this morning there was a 9 week old Beagle named Daisy in a box next to our bed. I think we got her yesterday. I think she's won my heart. 2. My buddy, Travis, called the other day and asked if he just saw our Alma Mater, SWU, on the ESPN ...
Watch for Flying Shoes
1. So, in case you didn't hear, a reporter threw his shoes at President Bush in Iraq. His networks response was that he should be released "in accordance with democracy and freedom of expression Iraqis were promised by the new era and American authorities." Ironic that Iraqis didn't have any of that until ...
Friday Already?
1. I heard yesterday that sometimes it takes a $2 funnel to save a multi-million building. That would be a great book title. 2. Tomorrow we are taking the youth group ice skating. It got more votes than Lazer Tag. I am not a good ice skater. I always seem to get injured. 3. I discovered that ...
Books I don't want for Christmas
First off, check out the comments from yesterday's post. A guy from Bluefish TV gave a sincere apology. I knew the governement was screening all communication, but I'm not sure how Bluefish found the rant on this obscure blog. Now, onto the list: 1. Campaigns that Work by John McCain 2. Raising Sane Kids in an Insane World ...
More Questions
1. Where are Max and Ruby's parents? 2. Where are Little Bear's clothes? His parents wear clothes. Why is he running around naked all the time? 3. Okay fellow Heroes watchers: Where are Nathan Petrelli's wife and children? 4. Is Arthur Petrelli really dead or did he just lose the Catalyst? 5. Why does the DVD drive ...
I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed
Two weeks of illness led to two weeks of minimal posts. My apologies. Today, you will get the Heath Hodge Podge. 1. Karen is in New York for her grandmother's funeral so my mom is here helping with the kids. Karen said it was 3 degrees there. Wow. 2. Here's what I'll say about the BCS. Any ...
Give Me Dabo
1. Well, Clemson made a great decision and hired interim head coach Dabo Swinney as the full-time head coach. I am pumped about this hire though some of my fellow Clemson fans were hoping for someone with more experience. They probably said the same thing when Clemson hired Danny Ford. Yes, those comparisons are ...
Just use your imagination
First, pretend that you've read my blogs from last week about our family getting sick in Ohio, how we had a great time, how we are home and well now, how I contemplated overcoming my gun phobia, and various other holiday musings. 1. Now, back to the present. God showed up in a tremendous way at ...
