Tainted

The new puppy has a fascination with panties. He finds them wherever they are and drags them to the middle of the house. He'll go into one of the bedrooms, go through everything, and drag a pair down the stairs and into the living room. Funny.

Sometimes it seems that no one listens to me. Other times they hear things I don't say.

Sprung

Madeline told me that the grass is turning green and the tulips are popping up. Cool. Time to plant sugar snap peas.

Has anyone ever heard of an angel channeler? We have a friend that has a son born just a few weeks before Robby was. His name is Kyle. I don't know the whole story yet, but this is what I heard. Kyle's father took him to an angel channeler recently. Why, I don't know. Kyle asked the channeler about someone his mother told him about, Robby Miller. Without knowing anything about Robby, this channeler told him that Robby was never intended to be here long. He was here to teach his parents something. There is more, like what he came to teach us, but I'm not sure what exactly. We're waiting for an audio tape of this channeling session. What am I supposed to think about this?

Spring Break

Fever

Cabin fever is starting to set in hard. The little bits of warm weather, the birds singing, the longer days, the new bike; come on spring. Alex will be starting soccer practice in a few days. Abby & Madeline will be starting softball. Spring break is next week. Winter has made me fat and lazy.

We've been talking about going to the Wisconsin Dells this July with my sisters and their families. We're discussing renting cabins at a campground. Sounds like fun. It all started when my sister emailed and asked about camping over the July 4th holiday. That got me to thinking about camping. Damn that sounds good. I only used my camper one time last year. What a pud. Camping is all I've been thinking about this week. It won't be long now. Don't be surprised if I call you very soon and ask you to join me. There happens to be an RV show in town this weekend. I think I'll go out there a dream a bit.

Flat

I found out what a "pinch flat" is a couple of days ago. I was out riding my bike for the 3rd time ever and was about 2 miles from home when my tire went flat. I walked for a mile before someone stopped and picked me up. After stopping in to Boulevard Sports for some old fashioned awesome customer service, I now know how to change my tube in the field myself. I hope I don't get much practice.

Perfect

The trip to Florida was a definite treat. The weather was gorgeous. The fish was fresh and delicious. I got to watch the sun rise over the ocean twice, once with my wife. Yes, she got up before sunrise. I know, shocked me too. Angie and I rented bikes one day and rode for about four hours along the river and the ocean. We stopped at a tiki bar for lunch, and sat by the ocean for a while. It was a perfect little getaway.

Spring is beginning to spring around here. It hit 73 today for the first time in many months. Bring it on.
