Perspective

Here’s a heads up: if your e-mail message subject line says “FW:”, I’m less likely to read it. It does bring back some nostalgia about my grandma, but not much more than that.

I did read a forwarded message today, though. The video was worth watching. A staff member watched over my shoulder and said that the speaker in the video had been to her church and that started a conversation. Here’s the video.

Want to know who will get arrested this year?

These guys:
Photobucket

I predict either an arrest, a mental breakdown, or a suspension on my roster. Although, looking at how many of my guys have had recent injuries, I think we’ll see the Booyor team turn from detention center to care facility.

I shall use this template to prep my rants.

For my nephew

We made a big choice today. Ink for our Epson printer costs $70. An HP printer was on sale for $70 this weekend at OfficeMax.

We got the printer. It came with ink. (The new printer uses $30 ink.)

I’m really happy since it’s a wireless printer. But what’s really cool is that it’s a 3-in-1, with the scanner and memory card reader and all that also being wireless. Those reception bars are like art to me. The inaugural prints were of my dad with my oldest and then a map of Middle-Earth.

Yep. Sounds about right.

The inaugural scan?

This, for my nephew:

I’m surprised it’s taken this long.

A student asked me today to be in his skit for English class. He has to interview a literary character, so he picked Gandalf the Grey. He’s going to get another kid to play a hobbit and I shall be the wizened mentor. I had to reign in the geekiness. I told him yes, I do have a cloak and yes, I do have a walking stick. He has to supply the hat.

I’m contemplating a bubble pipe.
