Sometimes I say things that are completely innocent and they are taken in other ways. The latest example: I was talking to Paul about making muffins for breakfast and how I use to make them all the time. Then I said, "I don't know why I don't make them anymore, but it doesn't matter you don't seem to be much of a muffin eater." Paul was cleaning out the refrigerator, and nearly fell over laughing! I was embarrassed, luckily Jimmy wasn't in the kitchen.

We got rolled last night. The only consolation I have is that they had to step in dog crap somewhere!!! My hope for the vandals is that the poop stains the carpet in their car and the smell last forever!

I finished The Last Lecture and was completely moved by the book; how that man lived his life and the principles that he was taught as a child. It made me wish I could go back and redo some of the things I did with Jimmy and Jessica. I also reflected on childhood dreams and I can't really think of but one dream, to write poetry and books. I know I had to have other dreams but I can't remember them. I would suggest reading that book or at least watching Randy Pausch's Last Lecture on You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo It is really long, over an hour. If it is like the book, it will be worth watching.

I had told Jeff how much I was crying during that book and he suggested I put it down. I couldn't because I had to finish it. Then at dinner, he told me to read a book called 212 degrees. It is just a short inspirational book, mostly geared toward business people. It can be summed up like this: At 211 degrees water is hot. At 212 degrees water boils. With boiling water, comes steam, and steam can power a locomotive. With just one more degree, hot water can move a locomotive. With just a little more effort, attitude, perseverance, kindness, commitment and focus we can achieve all the things we want to achieve.
