The Way

Saw this and thought it was pretty good. You will recognize Zooey Deschanel (Elf and New Girl) but you may not recognize that guy. Remember Angels in the Outfield? That is the one and only Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Enjoy.

Evelyn, Shelbi, Paul, Morgan, Sondra Happy Rama-Hana-Kwanz-Mas!

She has had a great year. She worked FUGE Camps at Glorieta this summer and now has one semester left of nursing school at Union University. She and Mark are still dating 2 yrs later. He graduated this month from Union. Morgan – is 19 and loving Union. She is a social work major, involved in student government, Chi Omega, and about a hundred other things.

It is true that I am a sentimental goober at times. For those of you who have grown up in Kansas City, you know how cool the lights at the Plaza are. While we will not be here on Christmas day, we were able to spend some time at the Country Club Plaza one night this week. It does a KC boy's heart good.

I, in no way, am saying that electronics are evil or of the devil. I have greatly enjoyed my iPhone, TV, microwave, and on and on. I do have a tendency to "want" more technological devices and this past summer was able to use an iPad that work provided. It made travel a little easier, helped me stay a little more current with work, and let's face it, I liked the cool factor of it. "Oh, you have an iPad. Those things are so cool." And, I was quick to get caught up in the coolness of it. In August, the iPad gig was up for me. Work needed it back. I lamented it for aw...

If you are a runner, then you know that most drivers do not really pay in attention to us and if they do, they are normally impatient. Agreed though is that some runners are obnoxious but the majority of us are not when it comes to running in traffic.
