Sunday night. Blech.
The median home size used to be 2300 sq. feet but it's dropped to 2100 sq. feet. Ours is 1300. I guess we're below average.
The President left the country on an extended trip to Asian countries the day after the elections. Was that done intentionally to escape the national press? It would make sense; go overseas where far fewer reporters follow, and they are more inclined to ask questions about the meetings taking place. If I was the President that's what I'd do.
Except for the part where all those meetings went badly.
It would be interesting to go back and see if past Presidents whose party took a beating in midterm elections planned overseas trips immediately thereafter.
Reid and Shirley are snow birds who live the summer months in the Denver area. This morning was their first Sunday back at Pathway. And because Shirley was very sick last year they were only in AZ for two weeks. It was great to see them at church this morning and fun to see their reaction to the growth of our congregation since they were here last Easter. And we had people missing this morning.
Last night we watched "Sleeping with the Enemy" on cable TV. Come to find out they were doing a Julia Roberts marathon all day...and I missed it!
There's a scene early in the movie where her husband hits her in the face, hard!
I know it's fake, that he didn't really hit her. Carefully choreographed, camera angles and all. But I was thinking about that scene this morning and decided I couldn't do it...even if it wasn't Julia Roberts. I don't think I could even act the rage and violence involved in hitting a woman in the face. Never mind my personal revulsion, what does an actor do with the knowledge that some men watching that scene will approve and would readily do the same?
It wasn't the movie I thought it was going to be. That is, I saw that title in the schedule and thought of another movie. Pam can't remember the title either, but it's the one where she gets convicted of her husband's murder when, in fact, he faked his own death. She spends years in prison and then gets out...and does in fact murder him. Since she's already been convicted of the crime she can't be charged again.
So, name that movie. 'cause I want to watch it again.
(Not that I'll ever complain about watching a Julia Roberts movie, even if it isn't the one I thought it was.)
Flagstaff, AZ school officials are going to send letters home to the parents of students who are overweight or marginally overweight. But just so nobody charges them with discrimination they'll also be sending letters home with kids who are underweight.
I can see it now. Johnny, who as a 4th grader tips the scales at 180, takes the letter home to his folks. Mom reads it and gives herself a dope slap on the forehead. "Wow! I had no idea! It's sure a good thing the school system told us you were overweight."
And as a kid who, in the 4th grade, probably tipped the scale at 60 pounds, (I weighed 145 pounds when we got married) I wonder what the parents of underweight students are supposed to do? "OK, kid. You gotta eat another quart of ice cream or no TV for you!"
That's all I've got on a Sunday night. And Rothlisberger is my fantasy QB this week (Rivers has their bye). See you in 24.

Double Jeopardy w/ Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones
How annoying. 2 of our 3 kids would come home with letters for being "underweight".
I wonder how many of those school officials are overweight/marginally overweight...?
The photo reminds me of the time I drove home with Jeffrey's swim bag hanging from the side mirror. (*He* had put it there, BTW.)
It reminded me of the time I left the parking lot of our church in MI and drove out onto a really busy road with my Bible on the roof of the car. It fell off, but someone found it and actually returned it to our church, since that church was the closest to where it was found. The only thing is it had a giant tire track on it.
