Blog
I like to read everyone else's blog much more than actually contributing anything to my own.
Saturday I mowed a bit (Jenny finished the majority) before I had to be at Camp Reveal to help out during Barnabas ministries "Challenge" obstacle course. I was at the last station where the teams had to work together to get a balloon that was pretty high up in the tree, then I talked them through a sort of debriefing about different parts of the course and how they had to work together, overcome some fears, etc.
We went to the Otters game Saturday evening and they lost. But, it was free. We survived spending only $1.50 for a small coke (really wanted the cup of ice) and $3.00 for the kids to split a bucket of cotton candy. All in all, that ain't bad.
Jeff Barnett had came back with me from the obstacle course and had attended the Otters game with us. After the game, instead of driving him back to Newburgh, decided it would be easier for Jeff to just stay at our place. We got back from the game, prayed with the kids and got them into bed. Then Jenny and went to see Revenge of the Sith while Jeff stayed at the house for us! Enjoyed the time out - I rarely dislike any movie-going experience; but was sort of disappointed from the reviews I had been hearing. I really liked the last 10 or 15 minutes, and the rest was enjoyable, but it was nowhere near fascinating or exhilarating. Obi-Wan and Padme were very good. Palpatine/Darth Sidious was the best actor in the entire film hands down. I'm glad it's nearly over... now I just need to take the kids once it's at the cheap theatre...then we need to watch the "first three" again to finish out the sequence.
Service at church on Sunday was powerful as usual. We met my friend Stewart Howard who I used to work with at Hoosier Stamping. His wife Terri had to work and couldn't make it. Stewart indicated that the teaching was the best part. Pastor Dave and the Holy Spirit, hooking another one hopefully!
Started a Flickr account today. We'll see if I bother with taking the time to figure out how to upload some pics. We have some good ones to share, but I'm lazy when it comes to learning new things. I figured out how to copy vhs movies onto my computer at home and then turn appropriate format and burn to dvd awhile back... went at that like crazy and burned several. Then got burned out and haven't done any since.
I'd like to get our pool up in our backyard, but the yard isn't level and I don't feel like hiring someone or renting the appropriate equipment to get 'er done.
We have Holiday World season passes, but who has the time to drive to Holiday World? We'll get there eventually this summer. New wave pool should be a blast. Jenny and I saw a show on the Travel Channel about waterparks last night. They barely touched on Holiday World's awesome park (they have nearly everything that any of the other parks mentioned had to offer - other than those real tall, straight down speed slides), but they did mention that Otorango? or whatever that black enclosed slide is at Holiday World is the largest enclosed waterslide in the world.
Evan Bayh says it's too early to make a decision about whether he'll run for President in 2008. Whatever. I think he'd have a very tough time even winning Indiana.
I'm done.
