not fit for duty

today after my lunch/post i was called to a meeting. in this meeting of the minds, a mother told me that i was not the right person for the job. someone call human resources! the wacko that is running the ebd class is not the right nutjob for the job.

however, i did receive some small consolation in the mail this past week. one of my former padewon learners wrote me a letter from the inside. it was very nice, in a way apologetic. he told me he was no longer "pissed" at me. maybe im not the right person for the job, i seem to "piss" most of them off. frequently one of my student wears a shirt that reads "my anger management class is pissing me off".

week end

i really finding my stride here. making an attempt to grow this blog into an unreliable, but consistent source of world news. well, not world news.

friday was pre-union counseling. and let me just say that i really think highly of anyone who takes it upon themselves to counsel two people who are about to become one. the whole two become one thing is a herculean precept that involves a bending of the mind. i believe that if i was in a position to counsel the newly engaged i would start and finish with " so, you guys, get this, you each are now seperate, but on your wedding day, well, ya see, you become one, ya, that is right, uh hu, one. well, good luck with that."

much talk of the good ol ephesians passage. submitting, respecting, loving, living, dying.
it was great. i found out that it is my responsibility to present meg to Christ as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. quite a bit of weight on my shoulders here. husbands, how is that one coming along? i better start hacking away at that little task asap.

saturday, i helped my buddy run a new water line from his meter to the house. brought back some good memories. got my hands on my good friend the ditch witch. in about 10 hrs we were able to give his house the pressure and volume needed to take three showers, run the dishes, wash the car, flush the toilet, irrigate nasal passages, and make lemonade all at the same time.

another one, hooray?

playing some disc golf lately. meeting some crazy folks that remind me of me in my youth, some of them are much older than me. causing some soreness in muscles i have not used in a decade. also finding that my allergies might be very similar to my dads (which involves stuffy ears, stuffy nose, and some type of throwing star in my throat). right now i am watching a student serve detention. he is cleaning my white erase board, with results that would not impress. it looks a bit like my board is crying and her mascara is running horribly.

tonight is another premarital counseling session. it is actually pretty cool. you basically just sit and talk about things that make most a bit uncomfortable. it is an interesting breathe of discomfort that i find strangely enjoyable. i have heard the rumor that communication is important in building and maintaining good relations, but i always think having a strong military is important as well. so if the meetings go south and i do not learn to communicate i am definitely in the market for a strong military, if any one has any leads. maybe craigslist.

my first review

he branded her "alison krauss, soul of the south". he is legend. he is icon. he is mr. robert plant. a concert that uniquely defines the word. i was surprisingly introduced to a gentleman. plant was overfilled with manners and compliments for both krauss and audience. i found his voice more trained than i had imagined, his boots more brilliant than mine. i thought the vocals would be more contrasting, but in the end, it was more complimentary. the fiddles dueled and the harmonies were made more perfect than any eharmony match. set list riddled with zeppelin favorites performed a cappello or bluegrass style. at times krauss seemed embarrassed to watch plant's rhythmic spasms, and when he sang the lyrics "watch her honey drip" i could see her blush from my seat in row r. critics and those that review use the standard cliches like "must see", "edge of your seat entertainment", "spot on", "dont miss", etc. well, i say "this one will carry you through the night like a mother carries her newborn pups. lovingly, forcefully, and intimately by the nape of your neck." translation: must see!

thank you

not sure how many millions of people read this publication, but i want to first apologize for the lack of entries. my speech writer, as well as my editor have been on hiatus planning a wedding, building a house, edifying our youth and coaching the world's beautiful game.

i have recently enjoyed my first wedding shower. given by my brother and his generous wife. hot dogs, burgers, salads, beers, laughter, friends, family, many gifts, all gifts. it was an earth shaking event. i was so humbled by both friends and family. it amazes me, i feel that the people who love me are so gifted at overlooking/forgetting my flaws.

thank you
