There are a lot of roads caving in and still the threat of that dam breaking. The ground was soggy already. Nowhere for the water to go.
got the new choir director comin' over fer supper tuhnite...
gotta run intuh town fer supplies and a quick library run with thekids...
just stay dry, kick back, and watch the convention... tho I must say I was disappointed to have an Imam give the openin' prayer, and that sheister Ron Silver speakin'... what human garbage...
I can't believe all the tropical hits central VA is taking.
I remember Hurricane Hazel well enough, it hit Albemarle Co pretty hard. But it doesn't seem like too much has happened in the interim. Now tropical events are becoming a part of life.
I read in a publication recently that it's theorized that there will be above normal tropical activity in the Atlantic for 20 years or so. Bush's fault, no doubt.
Got to go, see you guys later.
AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Ew! Don't post such things before breakfast!
Cool, that is probably 5-6 hours, maybe 7, from Cedar Rapids.
gonna kiss up to the new choir director to get more solos?
Yeah, I was disappointed with the Iman, but I unnerstand why.
But I thought Silver was great. He nailed the rest of the Hollyweirdos.
yeah right... ask mrsnad, I hate the spotlite...
thenewdirector is just movin' his family in... thought I'd be sociable...
heh... I was born and raised in Keokuk...
yer just up the road a spell...
sociable is good. I wuz just funnin' ya.
we've got so many ~real~ soloists that it wouldn't make much difference for us. if there's a tenor solo, there's probably 8-10 guys ahead of me who would be considered to sing it.
and if they weren't available...we'd do a different song.
heh heh heh... good, self-effacin' humor...
we got some vey good tenors... but I'm really the only bass/baritone with the capability... that's unusual...
I'll try!
You're in my prayers, along with the rest of the Florida contigent.
I appreciate that Rosie. ;^)
Thanks Corin!
~sigh~
Speakin' of choir directors. Just got an email from our college. Our main choir director went home to be with the Lord. He was a wonderful man and had an incredible ministry.
His wife was one of our speech teachers. She had a stroke my senior year and passed away a few years later.
Last year, wife and I bought a bench for the campus grounds in their honor.
Service is on September 11. I'm thinkin' we'll be drivin' to Kentucky. I have to be there a couple of weeks later for an alumni board meeting, but I still think we'll go.
It sounds like one thing after another for you today. Well, keep us posted... we'll be prayin'...
Ugh, I've got a sore throat and I'm tired. Izzit Friday yet?
sorry to hear that... it's always tough to lose someone that has maade that large of an impact...
well... as long as yer halfway here?...
It was not unexpected. We've lost a lot of the folks who were vey influential in our lives.
Would love to come on out to Missouri bro, but if we go, it'll have to be a quick weekend trip.
well... I guess it ain't uncommon given yer advanced age...
Just because it wasn't unexpected doesn't make it ok.
Great. Somehow one of my burners was on - don't ask me how - and I put my hand down right on it. Right hand, too, so those fingers are more or less useless for anything other than (thank goodness!) typing. How'm I going to take notes? And how long was that burner on, anywaY? I hate electric stoves.
OUCH. You got some aloe or somethin' to put on it?
Nope.
No blisters yet. They just don't want to bend - that's why I can type, the tips weren't hurt at all.
On the pluis side, it looks like my paycheck got deposited. I was a little unsure whether they'd set up the direct deposit correctly but I'm showing a credit, so I guess so.
