Turtle Found
20 May 2012 18:09:00
The other day we got a call from our neighbor asking if we had a lost pet turtle. Yes, last summer our turtle went missing. So, a year later "Milky Way" had chugged East exactly thirty feet, dug under the fence and somehow survived a harsh Utah winter in an old lady's yard, happily surviving on bugs and greens.
Good for him!
Now he's Willow's pet and she's whiling away the afternoon as he crawls around in the grass nearby. The perfect pet for a three year old. That animal exists for the entertainment of that girl. And she is so kind and gentle and protective of the little creature. He's an animated one, not just hiding whenever anyone is near. He plows through high grass, bushes, towels, and bowls of water.
I've been playing D&D with my two boys, Jonah (10) and Griffin (7). We made the toy room into our D&D room. It is a sheer delight. They are totally stoked about it, we've played every night for three nights. This is the first time they seem to be actually getting it. Griffin is actually just old enough to sit through a ninety minute session. I can't tell you how proud I am to find them sneaking D&D books to bed so they can read them after supposed bed time.
On Saturday I came across a garage sale and picked up a washer and dryer for (what is now called) the BTP house. And a microwave and toaster oven! I love garage sales. Apparently it's like two blocks from Renn's place and they were all up playing Mordheim the other night. 
Me? I'm not feeling well. Something is terribly wrong with my left elbow. I have to cradle it carefully. It feels like a hot ice pick is in there and the stress of it has moved up my arm, to my shoulder, neck and now my head. It's like my whole left side is crumbling. I don't like to talk about it, but it seems dissimulous to not say the bad things, too. My wife got back from a three day conference and tended to me, though, rubbing arnica gel on me which has made me feel a ton better, de-stressing the whole area. Oh, how I love that woman. There's nothing like a long marriage to a good woman. She is more poised and regal than ever. She's so mature and refined. It's like being married to a queen; humble royalty.
In spite of that, I still consider my life to be like heaven. It's really super. I am myself. My life is zen-like.
Stay on the beach or move inland, but you can't put up a "No Hurricanes" sign. That's me. I'm like a tempest. I do what I do. I am naturally doing the right thing. I am clay in the Maker's hands.

Very limited time. I'm hoping to get it set up tonight.

"A complete inversion of law whereby you have no legal recourse for the abuse of authority."
In a rare move, a federal judge has struck down part of a controversial law signed by President Obama that gave the government the power to indefinitely detain anyone it considers a terrorism suspect anywhere in the world without charge or trial — including U.S. citizens.

We will do purchase only if you want that. There is a minimum order of $300. Shipping takes some time, though to get them to us then to you. For purchase-only (ie we buy the models and ship them un-assembled as-is to you) we are just trying this out temporarily.
Mother's Whaaaaaa?
13 May 2012 15:12:00
My eyes popped open this morning. Holy Crud-mobile Batman! It's Mother's Day!
Fortunately my wife had the foresight to buy herself a bunch of gifts which she placed by my bed, ready to be wrapped. Actually, she was even wiser than that and provided gift bags.
I heard footsteps upstairs and thought Holy Crud! She's up already and making herself breakfast! So I ran upstairs (as you may recall I'm sleeping in the guest room, more on that) to find McKenna already making Mother's day breakfast for her. Hooray! So, I piggybacked on that to make it "our" breakfast and all was well.
Or as Gately says: You snooze, you will probably get out of some work.
Anyway, it was off to church where my wife and I work in the Primary as teachers. Giving parents a two hour a week break from their kids basically. I view that as community service.
