tuesday recap…
It was a busy day at work, but really didn’t get much done; many interruptions and checking up on my intern. I walked for a half hour this morning before work and after work we went on a bike ride for nearly an hour. Now, my ass is wore out !

odd stuff from the web…
This was one of the Google Ad links in my gmail this morning. You just never know what’s gonna jump out at you on the web. LOL ! Actually Sweetous and I did have a very small scale enterprise doing in that business a while back; apparently there are others doing it also. Out of curiosity I did a google search for “dog poop” and found some links.
Among the these links is a cautionary tale of what happens to people whose dogs poop on trains in South Korea. This is an interesting example of the power and peril of the web. On the search results page there are numerous ads related to businesses dealing with various aspects of dog excrement. Since this is the internet, you can see listed right at the top are pages for pictures ! YIKES ! I won’t even put the link for that in here, but it’s really there. You just never know what you will find…
monday evening….
We had a nice time at my parents place this past weekend. Sweetous and I took my parents and Mike and Piglette out for dinner on Saturday evening to the Italian Oven. Very good stuff; I had shrimp scampi on spaghettis with olive oil & garlic. Yummy ! The only drawback was it took all evening because everything was crowded as hell on account of Mothers Day and it was also Prom day. On the way home Sunday, we went shopping and bought bikes. So today we went for a nice ride in Black Hills Park. We both need the exercise, especially me. One of my co-workers told me I was winded from climbing stairs at work today. I did get a couple of aerobic puffs from the bike ride. I will have to ride more often so I can loose some pounds, and lower my BP.

friday evening…
We were going to do a road trip to visit my parents this evening but decided not to because of traffic and tiredness. Instead we will go tomorrow. Gawd, was busy at work all week and especially today. We had a meeting about the immanent move. The office manager showed us a diagram of the building and the placement of various offices and rooms. I will no longer have a private office in the back corner of a building that is devoid of people half the time. I will miss the seclusion, but the new place does look nice and I do get a new desk. There will be more togetherness all around because we will all be on a single floor, not in two different two story buildings as we are now. The chaos of the move will likely be interesting. Gawd, I gotta get more of those old files packed up and shipped to the archives so we don’t have to take them to the new building. The office manager wants to give me an intern to help. I told her ok, but I really prefer to do my own stuff ’cause I am much more meticulous about details (some might say that I am anal) than your typical teenager, and I don’t like to have to check up on other people. Oh well. So, tonight I will do some web prowling and goto bed early so I can go on the road trip tomorrow.

my theological worldview…
I saw this quiz on another blog and decided to try it. I’m not a Roman Catholic, but the results were as I figured they would be ’cause I do think very much like a Catholic.
You scored as Roman Catholic. You are Roman Catholic. Church tradition and ecclesial authority are hugely important, and the most important part of worship for you is mass. As the Mother of God, Mary is important in your theology, and as the communion of saints includes the living and the dead, you can also ask the saints to intercede for you.
What’s your theological worldview? |

notes for tuesday…
I feel much better today than I did yesterday; having a “bug” and doing the prep for the VC was not fun. The nurse called me this afternoon; told me I “passed” my test ! So, I’m right pleased with that and won’t have to do it again for five years. Today was fairly uneventful at work, even though we are still very busy. I mowed part of the yard today and Sweetous will likely finish it tomorrow before I get home. After work I went to Borders for a while, waiting for LB to pick me up. I browsed a while and found a couple of books that looked interesting: Chasing Sophia: Reclaiming the Lost Wisdom of Jesus and The Physics of Christianity. Both are worthy of consideration for a future purchase.
