...the difference between heroes, and me

So after hearing about Pat Tillman's death I reflected my reaction to 9/11, and the emergence of a war with Iraq. I remember thinking, "what should I do to make a difference?" After 9/11 I considered joining the military, but used my future wife and family as a crutch to not feel as bad about not doing it. Then the war with Iraq really hit home when my best friend's reserve unit got called to duty. Again, I thought about enlisting, but I now had a wife, and the prospect of a new job on the horizon. So I stayed home.
It makes me grateful to think of people like Mr. Tillman who have made great sacrifices, leaving family and careers behind, so that I have the freedom to live my life without fear. All of these men and women deserve our undying gratitude for their commitment to perpetuating the freedoms that we all take for granted so often in our lives. Thank you to any sevice person who may stumble onto my little posting. Thank you for defending my rights.

...the perfect start to a perfect day

So, Tony was lamenting a few weeks ago that he couldn't make a perfect omelet. Well, yesterday I acclomplished that exact feat. 3 eggs, mushrooms, ham, cheese, and green (yes, green) olives. Perfect coloring perfect consistency on the eggs, perfect fold-over. I was going to post a picture, but I didn't want to waste precious eating time.
Most of the rest of the day was spent either at a wedding, or drinking after said wedding. So, congratulations to Jen and Chris. The wedding and reception were both great times.

...I've lived in Findlay too long.

Yes, I made a grammatical error in my last post. Instead of "there is snow..." I wrote "Their is snow..." I guess it is from hearing so many people replace saw with seen ("guess who I seen last night?") and the copious amounts of double negatives. Yes I was an english major, and I am usually better than that, but I focused more on literature, and I have been out of school for a few years anyway.

...Help Me Jebus

So I wake up this mortning after yesterday being so nice outside and nothing much on my schedule. I think to myself "I think I'll get in 9 holes today." Then I go downstairs to put out my dog. (The coolest and smartest dog in the world, mind you.) Their is snow on my deck, and it's friggin" cold. It's enough to piss you off.

...More Godfiti

So, evidently several of the employees of a large grocery store in Bowling Green, Ohio have differing opinions on the subject of religion, and have taken it upon themselves to wage war on using the wall of the men's room as a battlefield. Evidently, Jesus not only loves me, but Oreos as well. Jesus also saves by using his Kroger Plus card. But most importantly, "Donkey's eat cheese."
