Humor is not simply the art of laughing at others, nor merely that of laughing at yourself; rather, it is the ability to see the tiny absurdities of life. -- Anemone Flynn

Accomplishments...?

How often is it that you have this feeling that you didn't get anything done today? I think I have it way too often -- maybe I need to consider that a warning sign, and get busy!

I was driving down the freeway this afternoon on my way home, and I didn't hit a dove. The car behind me did. I saw it starting to cross near the car right ahead of me, so, I carefully slowed down and scooched over to the edge of the lane. I looking in my rearview mirror -- good, I didn't hit -- poof! I dunno, they probably couldn't have avoided it. A dove, just absentmindedly walking across the freeway during rush hour... .

I hope all of you are paying close attention as you walk around, whether you're in Dunedin or elsewhere. It's a dangerous world out there.

I was talking to my grandparents on Sunday. We had chicken for dinner, and my G'ma was mentioning how she cooked it in tin (aluminum) foil so that it wouldn't pick up any carcinogens from the barbecue. Maybe we should cook everything in tin foil, all the time? But, wait a minute, are there any side effects from tin foil? Oh, yes, I remember! Too much aluminum in the brain causes Alzheimer's disease. So, my grandparents are constantly watching each other for signs of Alzheimer's -- when they remember.

I gave them a particularly sassy grin, but they love me anyway.

I think I'll try to get a sibling to read to me out of a book for some extra practice this evening. My mom reads to my sibs during their lunch time out of several books, and they also have a Bible study time during which they occasionally add an apologetics-type book. Note, the book does not replace their actual Bible reading! They are currently reading 'Many Infallible Proofs - Evidences for the Christian Faith' by Henry M. Morris & Henry M. Morris III. Hmm, grandpa and grandson? That's interesting.

We've got soccer coming out of our ears right now.

See - no, wait - blog you later!

Are your grandparents and Uncle/Auntie/Cousins in Nampa or Boise? It's awesome that they're back! Ooh, and would you want to do a roadtrip to Moscow sometime?? I love it up there.

My grandparents are in Meridian right now, and my aunt and uncle who were in Spokane are now in Caldwell; she's working at Mercy again, I think. I would love to take a road trip to Moscow! I think Tan-man (It's so hard to remember to use those nicknames!) wouldn't mind seeing us, and he will need transportation up and down at various times...
