The Flux capacitor that is. You see on the evening of September 28th, 2009 I met a friend in the local mall parking lot. He showed me his latest invention, a totally tricked out Delorean. Long story short, some thugs showed up, I ended up in the car trying to get away from them. I hit 88 miles an hour and suddenly I'm in 2011. How crazy is that?
So it's not that I had totally forgotten about updating this site, I just wasn't around to update it. Sure the family is a bit older, things are a little worse for wear, but other than that life is pretty much the same.
Uh oh, that crazy flux capacitor is acting up again, if I don't see you soon, hopefully I'll see you in the future.
She's exhausted, but it sounds like she had a great time in New York. If she lets me, maybe I'll post some photos later. For now, I'm going to bed.
Spent the day with a bunch of Scouters in our District's Vanguard training helping them to become Trained.
If you're looking for a Wood Badge Ticket Item, I highly recommend volunteering to serve on staff for a Training Course. Not only would it benefit the yourself (aka, your Wood Badge Tickets), but it may just benefit your own son someday.
It's apparently why I had a 7 year stretch that I was never asked the speak in Church (for you non-LDS people out there, that's considered forever and quite lucky), of course I've got another 2 year streak going now so hopefully we'll eclipse the 7 year streak.
It's taken over 5 years and the last 2 of those of having a post every single day, but this is post number 1,000. Not that it's any accomplishment, I just needed something to post today :D
My wife is gone (no she didn't leave me permanently, though she would have probably been smart to have done that 14+ years ago).
She and Nichole flew out late tonight, bound for their All Girls New York Weekend. It was their Birthday presents from their loving adoring husbands. Ok, maybe we just wanted a peaceful weekend to ourselves and were too dumb to have sent the kids with them.
Hopefully they have fun and are able to relax.
One of the things that I'm seeing more and more is irritating me more and more.
I realize that it's a silly little thing, but it's still something that I think is a bit ridiculous.
When I see able bodied people walking up to a set of doors (office building, grocery store, etc.) and specifically going out of their way to walk over to the door with the Disabled access button and pushing the button.
You know which one I speak of. The one where you just push the button and the door opens for you automatically, rather than manually opening a door.
It's not that they are using a technology that is specifically there for the disabled members of society to use. The odds of this piece of equipment, not working when truly needed because others have been using it are pretty slim.
No, what bothers me is that people are really becoming that lazy. I understand using it if your arms are full and you just can't open a door by yourself, but to just walk over push the button and wait for the doors to open because you're too lazy is inexcusable.
