Wonders In the Sky Above

Well, it looks like here in Denver we’re about to get a taste of the massive heat wave plaguing the nation’s midsection. (Predicted high today: 99 Fahrenheit.) But for the past several days the thunderstorms hitting this area have produced a lot of drama–not just street flooding and stuff like that, but I mean drama in the sky.

So If You Want to Hear What I Sound Like When I Talk…

Categories: random stuff

…yesterday I was a guest on “The Collective Podcast” on Communitas Collective, a site where I’ve been plugged in as a contributing blogger for several years. You can go here to listen to the podcast. It’s about 45 minutes of audio, but if you can get past the boring banter at the beginning between Glenn and Eric, once they actually let me into the conversation, you’ll find I’m very interesting to listen to.

Joking aside–thanks, Glenn and Eric, for inviting me. It was a privilege.

Here’s to Not Sucking Nearly as Much

Just a progress report…since I wrote this post last week, I have not missed a day practicing the guitar.

In just five days of playing consistently, I suck less at guitar than I did before.

Plus, my callouses are coming back.

I know this because there is pain in the fingertips of my left hand as I type this.

That Noise You Hear Is Me Thinking About Stuff

Categories: random stuff, What the heck was THAT?

I think about stuff. A lot. Don’t know if you’ve noticed that…

But if you have, what you probably don’t know is what it looks like–or sounds like–when I think intently about stuff. That’s because on this blog, you’re only reading the outcome of what I’ve been thinking about. You don’t get to see what actually goes on when the wheels are turning.

I’m Two Years Old–I Mean My Blog Is Two Years Old

Categories: random stuff, What the heck was THAT?

So I’m sitting here trying to figure out what to write, since I haven’t written an uber-profound post here in at least a few days…when all of a sudden, it occurs to me:

This is my blog’s two-year anniversary!

So that’s what I’m writing about. The blog is two years old today.

Isn’t that great?

Yay!

Cards, congratulatory letters, and money can be sent to…well, tell you what. Just skip the cards and PayPal the money.

You think I’m kidding.

Okay. I’m kidding.

Dear God, If It Isn’t Any Trouble…Please Fix The Outdoor Thermostat. Thanks.

I walked out the door this morning to the second coldest actual temperature I ever remember experiencing. Actual temp: -15 degrees F, windchill -26.

That’s -26 actual degrees Celsius, for my Australian peeps.

I have a blogger friend in Alaska who is probably laughing right now.

The coldest morning in my memory was in Cincinnati, Ohio, 20 years ago this winter. Actual temp: -20 degrees. I remember this specifically because the engine block in my car froze, and I didn’t know it until it started smoking and clunking and died on the freeway while I was trying to go take a test. Things aren’t that critical today. 🙂 I’ve probably been in colder weather, but I was too young to remember. I only remember as a kid living in Michigan that a few times my mom wouldn’t let me go outside and play in the snow because it was too cold, and I didn’t understand why.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

I might be a little sparse here over the holiday weekend. Gonna chop down a tree, get ready for a special advent worship time on Sunday, spend time with family, and maybe catch up on some paid writing assignments.

Of course, now that I say this, I’ll probably post here every day this weekend. 🙂 But it will probably be fun, useless type stuff, if it happens.
