So this is blogging, eh? I need to write Mike's words of wisdom nearly daily? Well here goes today's installment.
One thing that really stood out for me in this Sunday's readings was the following:
For Christ, while we were still helpless, died at the appointed time for the ungodly. Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person one might even find courage to die. But God proves his love for usin that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
That had me thinking, "Wow! Christ really did that for me? A sinner? Yes, he did." It was my revelation for the day.
This being Monday I had to head back to work. Not much fun but it pays the bills better than anything else I could do.
While I'm on the subject of paying bills, I need to shamelessly plug my new website at http://www.wossil.com. I hope to eventually make some money with the sound or embroidery business. Preferrably both.
Last thing I wanted to talk about today was an idea I had back in my early post-college days. A friend of mine, Kevin O., had a "land yacht" convertible. I forget the exact year, make, and model but it was huge! An early 70's kind of car. I always wanted to turn it into a boat. We never did it but some guys from cuba stole my idea!
Later!

I'm pretty sure you're right in that it was a Cutless.
Kevin answered by e-mail. He said:
"Yes, and No...
It was an Olds 88, which is why it was such a whale. The Cutlasses were more like the Olds version of Chevelles - I wouldn't exactly say sleek but at least less like a living room on wheels! I actually had two - one forest green that was running for a while (like a year or two?) and a blue parts car I kept at my brother Mike's in CT. Yup, I vividly remember Mike's schemes to turn it from a land cruiser into an aqua cruiser! I'd even mentioned it to my team in DC a few months before I left, and for weeks I was getting all sorts of articles and links about amphibian cars, both production and uniquely patched together. I'm a little bit sorry I didn't turn the Olds over to Mike for his project, but I doubt I'd've been brave enough to be on the shakedown cruise!
So who's up for trying to recover the sunk Buick?
