A while back Ann and I heard a wonderful presentation that explained that "men are like waffles" and "women are like spaghetti". It was a wonderful presentation! And so true. We got a storage bin to hold boxes so we get room to finish unpacking. I'm in the square of moving boxes out. Ann wants to noodle through each box before it goes.

Happy New Year!

Today is the first day of Advent, a season of preparation for Christmas, and the start of a new liturgical year.

My mobile phone status update didn't go through. :-( But, it was amazing! We saw the International Space Station and Space Shuttle go by from Main Street in Disneyland this evening at 5:11 / 5:12.

Thanksgiving

Today is a National Day of Thanksgiving here in the United States. It's original intent was to be a day of offering thanks for all that we have been blessed with. It has a rich history in families coming together to try to put aside their quarrels and share a mea together. A feast for the celebration. Lately, it seems to be "pregame show" for that start of Christmas shopping complete with Black Friday ads. Even I have fallen into this spirit of crass consumerism at times.

I am thankful for the humor that I find in my life, even the humor that pokes fun at today's celebration of Thanksgiving. "The goal of the day is to be more stuffed than the turkey." "Eat until the button on your pants pops." "Don't forget to loosen your belt before you start eating." "Beware of the turkey toxins (tryptophan) that lead to the annual Thanksgiving nap." "The best part of the meal are the leftovers."

I am thankful for the gift of my family, my wife of over 24 years and my son even when he's being a knucklehead. They are a priceless gift that I can not repay. I did not understand what it meant to be a husband or a father but Ann and George have taught me the meanings of those words.

I am thankful for the family that brought me in to the world, my mother and father. As I reflect back over the years I realize how much they have sacrificed for me. I am even thankful for my little sister. Even though there were times she annoyed me she let me be the "big brother" that taught me so much.

I am thankful for all of the blessings that the Lord has given me: life, shelter, employment, transportation, food, clothing, warmth, and more. There are too many to list. I am also thankful for the crosses that the Lord has asked me to bear.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I thank You Lord for the abundance beyond what I deserve that You have given me. I know that I could never thank You enough for all that You have given me if I tried. I also know that I don't try to thank You enough. Please Bless us all and rain Your Grace upon us. Guide us back to Jesus, Your Son, so that in Heaven we may celebrate the ultimate Thanksgiving in Your presence. Amen.

Awesome! Ann and I s

Awesome! Ann and I saw the ISS and Space Shuttle. They were there for about 20 seconds before they blinked out in the earth's shadow. Very cool!

Possible International Space Starion & Space Shuttle Sightings

We have an opportunity to see the ISS and Space Shuttle flying through space over the next few days, You can get the details from NASA as to when you might be able to see them here: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/ . If you see them let me know!

President Barack Obama said, "To the veterans, the fallen and their families there is no tribute, no commemoration, no praise that can truly match the magnitude of your service and your sacrifice..." This may be the first time we have agreed. To all of our Veterans, I salute you. You have my gratitude for what you sacrificed for our country.

[ROC] Rocket launch on Saturday at ROCStock XXX should be a go. Porta-Pot Shot has been ready for months and StormCaster's paint is dry - all it needs is the shock cord and it is ready for launch.

Two things

1. Lacquer paint is really thin - having trouble getting a good code of paint on the StormCaster rocket for this weekend. 2. Thinking about creating a blog to teach C programming. Anyone interested in that?

SmartCar? I'd love to but I can't. I'm too tall. I've been drooling over SmartCars since '06 and today I finally took one for a test drive. The answer is, "No, I'm not buying one." The seat is too high or the roof is too low. I couldn't see the traffic lights when I was at a red light. I still think it's the right idea but I don't fit. :-(
