Introducing...

Today was largely uneventful.

Wait a second... that was a flat out lie. Maybe because I just woak up from a nap and I am still in that restful state of bliss that I have forgotten the events of late.

During the lunch hour mom, Aaron and I went over to Costco to buy him a new desk. I had forgotten that this is the week when most kids go back to school, so Costco was somewhat like a zoo. Then you add the Mumby's. Frightening.

Aaron and I located the desk and discovered that it must be made out of pure lead. That thing was stupidly heavy. But since we are super-hero's we heaved that baby off the rack and onto this really strange flat-bed cart deal that I was pushing around. It was particularly difficult to make go straight, I discovered, which is not all that helpful when one has 500 pounds of desk on it.

I made a sarcastic comment to Aaron, "Let's see how many people I can hit!" and off we went. But the lady right beside us overheard my comment, turned around and politely let us go past her. I think she feared for her shins. I know I would have.

I wanted to drive that thing straight into the shins of this man who was flipping out at his children. He was yelling in their faces, "I don't even want to be here with you right now!" and I rather loudly mentioned, "Yeah, and I bet they don't want to be anywhere near you either." I think this was a regular occurance for the kids because they were just looking around with a blank stare as father dear let loose. I really wanted to point out to this man that the only one looking like an idiot in the situation was him, but I didn't think that would be prudent. It would be hard to defend myself with the giant box of desk. Once again I question why I didn't just ram him in this shins with it.

So we got that baby home and I watched a bit of the disaster down in the USA. That is absolutely insane. I can hardly believe what is happening. Not good. I thought to myself, "The United States is the last place I would ever think to have refugees." But now there are literally thousands of them in actual refugee camps. They may never be able to return to their homes. Astonishing. God be with them.

After I watched that for a while I whipped off to Aldo and bought some new sunglasses. I have a habit of continuously loosing my sunglasses. This last pair I did quite well with and kept for five or six months. I'm pretty sure I left them in Nathan's car in Taber, but who knows. Luckily the ones that I have are mass produced my Aldo and they cost a whole $12 so no biggie.

And now I'm home. And I'm about to introduce you to some new blogs that you HAVE to read. First is my wonderful friend Bryan, from Red Deer. You'll like it. You'll like him. I do. Go read. And the second is my friend Stephanie. You simply MUST read her entry about the Greyhound. This is one of the people I always laugh the hardest with - we know how to have fun... mainly by unleashing our powerful anointing in the area of general stupidity! Enjoy...

And thanks to all who have been leaving comments or sending e-mails about this little blog! It's rather encouraging. See you all sooner or later... or real soon... like in five days, Andy!!!
