Random Ramblings

We spend on Friday with our Canadian familt members.
We took the train to a big city and made a boat trip through the canals.
Saw a lot of this big city and walked and walked.
It's good to spend time with the family.
I hope my Canadian has improved.

Your family is in BC, right? That sounds cool. Which way does their plane go, east or west?

I have family in BC and in Alberta.

I've been reading a cartoon series out of Canada and the characters often say "Bone idea !" ie Great idea

Is this a common saying there ?

Bonne idée? That's French for "good idea".

I started to practice "Monster" of Skillet for guitar lessons.
The student who has a lesson after me listened to this song too.
I think that's cool and shows Christian rock is cool.

I want to win a million dollars and retire. 'nuf said

So we get to wondering why my son hasn't dropped by the house to pick up his phone charger and gift card we got him for watching our dogs.... he texts us back that he's in Missouri !! FIVE STATES AWAY !! Come to find out, he's "in love". He's gaga over this gal he knew from 8th grade (here in California) who's now at a University in Missouri. He drove NON-STOP from Cali to Missouri to spend his vacation with her !! And didn't tell anyone !!!!!!!!
Oy Veh !
When I was 18, I wouldn't have driven more than 2 hours away. I guess we raised him to be independent.... just didn't realize what a good job of it we did !

Ah those crazy kids...what they won't do for love.

As a father, I weep for you. As a guy, I think that's kind of cool. Here's hoping he finds some bliss.

Yep, looks like he's making plans to pack up and move several states away, cuz, as he says "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do"

Sheesh. I guess it's no difference from the crazy decisions I made when I was a kid... I survived to learn lessons from them, some good some bad, so I guess he's got his own life and will experience it in his own way.

Que Sera Sera

It does make it hard to be a parent sometimes. My young adult daughter has me doing some serious cringing sometimes.

I try to think back to when I was at that age... but it seems so long ago. All I can remember was, in hindsight, I was an idiot who thought I knew so much....

Again, I survived (barely) and avoided permanent life-altering mistakes, so I guess there's still hope... I just know my wife is gonna be heartbroken over her "baby" moving so far away.

At least with my daughter, she's within driving distance (8 hours) so it feels a little better to know we can pack up and visit them in 1 day. But 3 states away is gonna be a bummer for my wife (and me, should she ever decide to go visit him)

We all want what's best for our kids, but we don't have control over that... so we have to make the best of it.

After seeing the Hunger Games, I am wondering how long before our nation actually stoops this far into controlling the people who oppose our ungodly government.

6 months.

But seriously it would not shock me at all to see something like that in my lifetime.

I just had a random thought.


It was about GEOCACHING and BACON!

The Quebec prog/psych band Morse Code (non-Christian) holds my respect for their sheer musicianship.

I'm tired of being in pain.

A cat can help an itchy back.

Sometimes I wonder why people are so hard to each other when you are different than other people are.
It hurts me.

As my brother used to say: "People suck". If it wasn't for people, this world would be great.

I thought of a GREAT random thought the other day...
...but now I've forgotten it.

I wish I could get in touch with Dennis Cameron. He lives so close to me…

Good luck... I found him really hard to get ahold of.

Feeling much better today.
I've had a laryngitis.

It's very hot here today.



So, is that random enough??
