Avery and I were sitting in the living room watching fishing on TV (she loves it) when she cleared her throat for a really long time.
I said, "Avery, you working up a Lougee?"
Matter of factly she said, "Umm, Yeah!"
What a girl!!!
As I entered the bathroom in church on Sunday to do my standup routine, a voice from the water closet says "Hello"?
I responded "Hello" and could tell from the voice that it was this young boy of about 10 that never has a dull moment.
He shouted "Who is that?"
Feeling a bit uncomfortable I said "It's Brother Parker!"
In a moment of strain like he was having a movement Beethoven would be proud of he said,
"Hi Brooooother Parkerrrrr, it's (insert name here)." ugh ugh ugh.
Needless to say I did not respond for a moment because I was cracking up inside. I decided that it was better for him that I didn't or he might have popped a vein.
Flew to New Orleans today and had the luck of sitting in the exit row. Unfortunately there was this couple in front of me in their 40s I guess and halfway thru the flight she starts digging in his ear...how gross is that. She had these long fingernails and kept looking under them to see if she had hit the jackpot. Then she starts going at his face like his nose or mouth...I couldn't really tell since they were in front of me.
She happens to look back at me and sees this puzzled look on my face, and sort of chuckles and I say...'Let me know when the rectal exam starts so I can close my eyes'.
She laughed thankfully...but I swear he was going to turn his head and cough any second.
Haven't been to church at home in 3 weeks and you usually miss something like a new bishopric or some new quirky thing in the ward that you were unaware of. So there we are sitting and this new convert gets up to say the opening prayer and before I even had my eyes closed for the prayer it was over. He said help us get through the day. I didn't realize it was so tough to be there.
Looked at my wife and shrugged my shoulders. Then the person gets up to say the closing prayer and it too is short...like 10 seconds. I picked up the program to see if had been declared "short prayer day".
Sunday school the same thing...Sue said that she needed to remember that, in case she was asked in RS.
Well, as fate would have it...this brother who is a former Episcopal rector was asked to say the closing prayer who is known for his unique prayers and I said to myself...ah this will break the trend and save the day. NO!!!
"We thank the for revelation and give us more...In the name..." That was it. So we kept the tradition the rest of the day by just using prayer numbers...like prayer for food #44. Family prayer #37...Amen.
I have been making a quick trip from Peachtree City to Mobile to Pensacola and now in Tallahassee. One thing is for sure, no one likes the drive from Pensacola to Tallahassee. I drove thru Destin to see if it had changed any and I don't see how those businesses stay open in the off season.
Almost hit a pelican as he flew across the road, luckily his crap missed me. That could have shattered the window and then put my eye out...it is the Christmas season ya know.
Been feeling a little blah tonight, wife is home sick and i don't get home til tomorrow to take care of her. So I listen to Steve Winwood instead. Reminds me of the old cross country trips in college listening to "Low Spark". Like y'all know what that is.
Miss my kids and grandkids.
Has there ever been a rock song with Florida in the title?
Man what a bunch of random crap.
Thought for the day...Did Mormon and the 3 Nephites play any games while they hung out waiting for the Nephites to destroy themselves?
I think that Joseph Smith was right when he said that the constitution will hang by a thread.
desk...bed...curtains...tv...closet...lamp...nightstands...telephone...smoke alarm...oh crap this is boring.
5 Inches of snow on the ground in southeast Texas...is there no justice in this world?
