That reminds me of one of my favorite exchanges with my wife.

Her: Can today POSSIBLY get any worse?

Me: You shouldn’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to.

It started pouring about 30 seconds before the kids made it to the car. My phone took us home by a route we haven’t used before, but it was okay.

Kathleen has a class tonight, and I have the Stewardship Committee, and I think DP and Tom are going out for drinks.

I had a nice day. I visited the Gaston County Museum, where the employee was super helpful and informative, and then I sat in the library and read a novel I started there yesterday. There’s been a murder, so now I’ll have to request the volume from Mecklenburg Library!

Lucky you!! I don’t even have the map feature turned on on my phone. Google was tracking me and I don’t like that at all.

You’ll be having a busy evening and I’ll be trying to stay awake long enough to read Scriptures! LOL!

I wish now I had gone to the Pioneer Museum in Hurricane, but I guess I was afraid I was going to stay in there on my feet until I wouldn’t be able to walk. I hate when I do that, but then, I love museums and hate to leave until I’ve seen everything! ;o]

Now I have to go turn on the mattress pad so my bed will be warm. I need to replace this one ASAP. Mattress pad, I mean. I was going to do that before SSA tricked me, but it will have to wait a bit, now.

It’s interesting how things evolve over time. Back in 1977 the Alan Parsons Project wrote “The Voice”

It’s almost a feeling you can touch in the air
You look all around you, but nobody’s there
It’s been a long time now since you’ve been aware
That someone is watching you (he’s gonna get you)

But then, in 1982 they wrote Eye In The Sky:

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind

So, anyway, they seem to have seen Google coming.

Yeah, sometimes, those spaced-out song writers were ahead of their times and didn’t even realize it!

That hard living seems to have shortened all their lives and shorted their brains. But we had a lot of good dance music!!

[Monkey Face]

I didn’t see this one coming!

Good on ya. If you had seen it coming you might have ducked.

[ArGee]

Good morning. Happy Humph Day!

We have rain. It’s supposed to be here all day. But at least it’s warm-ish.

Trending up.

Kitteh wants the royal belly to be skritched.

Good morning. I hope you slept well.

Once again, I’m waiting for the water to heat up enough for a shower. This is getting old and boring. I can’t just start my day with a shower. I have to wait until the water is hot. By then, I’ve usually lost interest in it. I do it, but it means everything else I do is so late. Hopefully, it will be ready in a few more minutes. I hate getting up 90 minutes early just so I can shower.

Outside of the shower, the only thing going on is the sofa/futon frame. YAY!!!

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. Not bad, thanks. None of the youth is up yet. Frank and Kathleen are tired after two days of Wilderness Skills! They’ll go again on Friday.

We’ll go to the library later.

[Monkey Face]

I’m going to try that shower thing again, and then when I get back, I think we’ll do that Moving Thing. Again. It’s time.

[sauropod]

Love it.

[Tax-chick]

I’m going to clean the stove.

[ArGee]

I think this may be the first time I've remembered before the end of the day. I'm not that big of a fan, but for those of you who are:

May the 4th be with you!

[null and void]

See? You skeert everyone to the new therad!

[ArGee]

Great. I’ll have to find time to pack and everything.

[ArGee]

We may have to add therad to the official list of misspellings like byos and owrk.
