Last night, I believe that Battlestar Galactica (v2.0) cranked up the boat that will allow them to jump the shark soon.

…to my lovely bride, Amanda.

One more reason to be impressed with Land’s End: I’ve been meaning to call them for a few weeks, to complain about Brandon’s school uniform pants that we ordered back in September. The hem came out off 1 pair of them about a week after we ordered them. About 2 weeks later, another hem in another pair. Amanda’s been resewing them like crazy.

So today I called them, just to voice a complaint. Out of the blue, the sales rep. offered to send us replacements. Of each pair that lost their hem. Even though they’ve been washed and worn numerous times. Replacements. Free of charge.

That’s what I call service.

I love it when I learn something new, that I think I should have heard about, before this time in my life. Today’s tidbit: Who knew that the Catholic Church may have had a female pope, Pope Joan.

Read the article, if for no other reason, just to learn the meaning of “Testiculos habet et bene pendentes”.

I’ve uploaded pictures from Brandon’s 8th Birthday party to Flickr… Only about a month after it happened. Click on the picture above to see all the fun that occurred.

This came from the back-seat of the van yesterday, going to Church (Note: We were having 100-year celebrations at Church yesterday, and I thought that Caleb was referring to that):

Caleb: Dad, today’s going to be a great day.
Me: Why do you say that, son?
Caleb: Because the American Flag’s flying.

Wow. It’s true. As long as the American flag’s flying, it’s a great day. There’s freedom, liberty, and a life that I can choose how to live. I would expect words like that to come from someone like the President, Patton, or some other great leader.

Semper Fi, little buddy.

Like Jim, I’m horning in on Tina’s Fun:

1. Grab the book closest to you
2. Open to page 123, and go down to the fourth sentence
3. Post the text of the following 3 sentences on your blog
4. Name the author and book title
5. Tag 3 people to do the same

From Getting Things Done, by David Allen:

You may find you have a tendency, while processing your in-basket, to pick something up, not know exactly what you want to do about it, and then let your eyes wander onto another item farther down the stack and get engaged with it. That item may be more attractive to your psyche because you know right away what to do with it - and you don’t feel like thinking about what’s in your hand. This is dangerous territory.

Yeah, yeah… I’m just as boring as Jim, though he tried to redeem himself. But, like him, I’m at work, and it’s not exactly like I have my copies of Systematic Theology or The Bear Bryant Funeral Train lying around.

And I’m not tagging anyone either.

30-Second Bunnies Theatre

Popular movies, told in 30 seconds, by bunnies. I highly recommend Caddyshack and Office Space.

I just got a phone call from Caleb. He’s been suspended until May.
