12 States to Glory
No, that's not "12 Steps to Recovery"! It's actually 2 friends of my wife and I that are on there way to Florida in a truck they call "Baby". It's a great blog for those of you wanting to watch the progress of 2 girls in a small blue truck make their way across the nation. Hilarious at times even! The basic plot is they are driving a truck from western Washington state to Florida to deliver it to some missionaries in the Bahamas. The truck is full of stuff for the missionaries and when they drop it off they are going to fly back. It's a good time, and you read their progress across the 12 states they drive through. Check it out at
12 States to Glory. If Tony the Tiger was here he would say, "They're Greeeeeeeeat!"
Oh, and one more thing. I was concerned today when my weather widget showed this on my desktop this morning.

Get On Your Shorts We're Going In
I saw this duck on the lake today. My dad used to tell us this story about Daffy Duck when I was a kid. It was something he learned on a record he had when he was growing up. No seriously, it was a record: vinyl, grooves, hole in the middle, etc. The story would always start (as if daffy duck was saying it): "... boy oh boy what a bunch of ducks on the lake today.. " This picture reminded me of that.. those were good days.
It was good day. Bethany's boss gave her a half day and invited us out on a nearby lake for some boating, swimming, and tubing. So much fun! I really needed to get out of the apartment. I haven't been working much lately and sitting in the apartment all day reading and creating and doing nothing has been kind of getting to me. If I knew what "cabin fever" was I'm pretty sure it's close to what I have. Anyway, getting back to the tubing. I caught this shot of Bethany as she was going outside the wake for the first time. She had never been tubing before on a tube like this. You pretty much get on, hang on for dear life, and it's up to the driver of the boat after that. All in all, it was 5 hours of awesome.
We are both sore now though. That's probably why we just sat on the bed and watched "A League of Their Own." Good movie. I was happy to watch it again. Tom
Hanks does a great job in that movie. Kind of a funny role for him, but good. It's hot in our apartment. I don't know what it is about this place, but we're on the 3rd floor and I think the heat gets trapped up here somewhere. Maybe sometime I should elaborate more on where I live, it's a funny place. Ok, onward to the 10 o'clock news and late night television. And if you haven't been in the water yet, you're 2 days late; summer started on the 21st!
PS!! I just found the recording that my dad used to say! Took me like 2 hours, I'm stoked. CLICK TO LISTEN!
