• The great hand pin removal (see below) – still feelin’ good.
• Dumped a bunch of money into our truck – didn’t feel so good.
• Truck, water heater, car, and dryer all required some sort of repair in a 10-day span. What property of the universe causes this phenomenon?
• Maybe this is Why I’ll Never Be an Adult. (At work we editors especially like this post, Alot.)
• All the unemployed fresh seminary graduates are getting edgy and freaking out at the prospect of being both unemployed and homeless in a couple weeks. Churches, get your decisions on! Or don’t, so we can keep them. . . . It stinks, I tell ya. Why did we ever make friends with seniors?
• We went camping last week. It was our first time in years and AJ’s first time. She loved it–hot dogs, sleeping in the tent, the beach, hanging out with our friends who live up north, and her first movie at a theater, one of my favorite places, the Cherry Bowl Drive-In!
• We did not go see any fireworks because we didn’t realize they were on the 3rd rather than the 4th. I’d forgotten that the freedom of religion shalt not be celebrated on the majority religion’s Sabbath. (My brother: “Did George Washington die that you may sin all the more?! No!”)
• The trailer for the next film in the Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia series is out: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
• Warren Buffet shows us how to fit a camel through the eye of a needle: “My Philanthropic Pledge.”
