Part three of the story is ready.

We had a great day at NewSpring yesterday. The message was about prayer. Chats with God.
I was on camera all four services yesterday it was a lot of fun. A great time as always, but in double dose. I love working with the production team.

Mika thank you for the cookies. Oh my my. When do you find time? Chocolate chip MMMMM!!!!!

Saturday I had a tough day with my sinus. The biggest symptom was feeling disinterested in everything and being so tired. Sunday, provided relief. But it is back today. Not as bad, but enough to make me just want to sit and do nothing. Trouble with doing nothing, it makes it worse.

In sad family news. My cousin passed away Sunday morning. Joel Cole from over in Georgia had a stroke Saturday evening and they ended his life support early Sunday morning. Actually Joel is my fathers first cousin so that would make him my first cousin once removed or is it second cousin? I never seem to get that straight.
He was my age anyway. So we grew-up together at all the family reunions and so on. Joel leaves behind his wife, two daughters and two grandkids along with an older brother. I've lost two close friends recently and with this I am feeling my own mortality somewhat. The great news is Joel was a Christ follower, and stayed very active in his church. Know that makes it easier, but still it will be hard for everyone. Please remember the family in your prayers.

Kristie's auditors are here, so who knows when she'll come up for air. Please add her to your list to.

Did anyone get the number of that truck ? Today I felt just like this. I awoke with a headache, still have it. I wonder if it is the change in the weather. But praise God. We are getting some overdue rain. It has been dry since the first weekend of the month, we needed relief. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow. I will be on camera all day so I need to hit the sack.

Reminder: Once in a blue moon tonight.

Save me some cake

Kristie's office closed out their year end today. Now her fun really starts. Because of some unusual events she has already been working a lot of over time hours for the past several months. Now it gets worse. It's annual audit time and the several factors mentioned above will add to it times three.

In contrast today was a very welcome slow day for me for once. Unless running the vacuum, duster and mop are your idea of excitement. I am doing a lot of cooking right now too. But that is fine because I love cooking.

I am trying to pitch in where I can. Naturally as a guy I don't see the things that need to be done with the same eye she does. But I am trying. And my sweetie is cutting me a lot of slack. Do me a favor if you drop by. Smile and try to pretend the brick-a-brak I placed wrong after dusting looks good arranged that way.

I did use some of the extra early evening hours to go up in the plane. I spent about 30 minutes cruising around the local area. I was using the new GPS as an excuse. Gotta learn it real time , right.?

Chapter two of the continuing saga is up

You can find it here

"Once in a Blue Moon". How often have you heard that phrase? Have you ever used it? Do you know where it started ?

Thursday night Once in a Blue Moon happens. It's where you have a full twice in the same month. It's an uncommon, though not truly rare occurrence. In fact, it occurs, on average, about every 32 months. And in the year 1999, it occurred twice in a span of just three months!

Other space related news.

Astronomers have discovered 28 new planets outside of our solar system, increasing the total known extrasolar planets to 236. Maybe the world of Trek is nearing.

My fellow blogger Pudge on his site Just Pudge had presented the idea of writing a story based on a plot outline.

Here is my version as the first chapter .

8 unknown about me.


I love the movie Elizabethtown. There is a great line in it where the flight attendant says, " Trust Me, people are never as mysterious as the think they are."

Eight facts I have not written about my be hard to find. Or be very obscure, but since I was
Tagged

1.I was trapped in a mountain cabin for four days because of a snow storm.

2.I can climb a coconut tree and open a coconut in under 5 minutes ( or could anyway )

3. Most of you know I am a pilot and have a small plane. But few of you are aware that I have broken the sound barrier in a jet at the AirForce Academy ( I was not the pilot ) . Also I have flown more than 100 hours in a B-52 simulator in full combat simulations. And have logged more than 80 hours in a Boeing Jet simulator. My dad was in simulators while in the Air Force. I once owned a C-47/DC-3 training simulator. It was about the size of a dodge van. Yes it worked.
4.I was arrested and spent a night in jail for " drag racing in a cemetary " The charges were dropped. We really were innocent. I think it was a joke on me , looking back.

5.I was threatened by a bear, bitten by a rattlesnake, and nearly killed by lightning within a two hour span once.

6.I am afraid of heights. But flying in a plane never bothers me. I do force myself to go up tall buildings like the the Sears Tower, and walk the Golden Gate Bridge and things of that nature as a test.

7.As a child we spent years living in locations without tv. We don't have cable, or dish, or even an antenna right now. I watch almost no broadcast tv to this day.

8.This one is not so secret. I want to move to the SouthEast coast of Alaska, buy Blake Island and build a home.
