Take these hands, Teach them what to carry...

Catching up on some reading....

I am Youthfront West for the next three days for work and then off to Cabo for 10 days. Every year I usually take a few books I want to read while I am out of town. Below are the books I am reading currently. Updates to follow....

 

Week of Baseball...

Anne and I were given tickets to all three Royals games last week. The Royals played the White Sox on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday Night. On Monday night the Royals played into the 12th inning and lost by a bunt. Tuesday night the Royals also lost and on Wednesday the Royals finally came through with a win. In three days we watched almost ten hours of baseball and could have watched more. Someday the Royals will be World Series material again, but until then we will take what we can get...It now midnight and the All Star Game is into the 13th inning. I love summer and watching Baseball...

In Bruges...

This week I was walking the shelves of blockbuster and found the movie, "In Bruges". The movie stars Colin Farrell, which I am not a huge fan of. I must say this movie was awesome and now have a new respect for Colin Farrell. This was one of the best movies I have seen this year and I recommend checking it out...

Talk about frustration....

I am on hold again with a warranty company for my broken tv. The company Warrantech has some of the worst customer service I have ever had to deal with. They don't want to help with the cost of the tv that is under extended warranty.

The part that really irretates me is this.... I call in to talk to them and they have the hold music as the song "I'm so Excited" on repeat. Why couldn't they play something at least a little better... Elton John makes people happy.

I ask this, who's running this company, obviouly someone who has not been mad and then had to sit and listen to "I'm so Excited" fiveteen time in a row.....

Two of my Heros....

The lightning damage...

For the last few weeks Anne and I have had to deal with the home insurrance company on our lightning/power surge damage. We have determined we have lost our 65 in tv, a laptop, a desktop computer network card, modem, wireless router, and both garage doors. I never realized this type of thing could be such a pain. I'm glad it happened now rather than the week before the olympics. I have a little less than 6 weeks to get this settled and get a new tv. We will see what happens.

Crazy Few weeks...

These last few weeks have been crazy. There has been a lot of things that has happened in the last few weeks that would have great to blog about. Obama took the presidential nomination, I spent a week at Youthfront camp South and had a great time, Weezer and Coldplay released amazing albums and more recently one of my favorite comedieans Gerorge Carlin died. It seems like summmer has been flying by and its already almost July. In the next few weeks I will be going on two mission trips, another week at Youthfront camp and then heading of to Mexico for 11 days. More to come soon....

Lightning is fun to watch, but thats about it....

On Saturday's rainy afternoon I was getting ready to spend some quality time with my xbox. A storm was moving into Blue Springs and looked like it was getting pretty bad outside. As I was sitting down to play lightning struck our house and blew the breakers. I ran out side and checked  to see if I could see where the lightning had hit. The house was ok but I lost my computer modem, wireless router, garage door opener and worst of all my 65 in tv.  I was wondering why these items stopped working, off course it had to be one of the most expensive items in the house. It couldn't have been Anne's hairdryer or something like that. And to think I use to really like storms.

The good news is the xbox survived.....

Finallly a new update...

Hey guys sorry its been a while since my last post. I have been busy with a bunch of things lately but  finally I have some room to breathe. Anne and I have recently decided to do some home improvements and then put our house on the market. If you are in need of a house let us know. We are planning to stay in the Blue Springs area.

As far as work, In the next few weeks I will be at camp and also helping on a downtown Kansas City mission trip. Summer has just begun but it feels like it moving quickly.

Today a friend and I were able to go to Youthfront South camp. On Monday they were hit with a micro-burst storm and they lost over 100 trees. I realized it was a pretty bad storm when I looked at the flag pole and it was folded and bent in half.

Summer is here...

Finally today feels like the summer has begun. Other than few raindrop the 90 temperature was amazing. Today I was able to be outside all day, I took a bike ride, went for a run, moved things into storage garage and took my motorcycle license permit test.  I can't wait for the hot weather but I hate the cost of air conditioning.These are the nights that are perfect for Royals games. If anyone wants to go to a game let me know.

I know this was a very random post ...... sorry
