Why is it that when your kids leave home again, I feel homless! My son Nick spent the last 5 months with us as he was struggling to stay employed as an electrician. I loved having him here and I got to be very supportive in helping him along his way. We really bonded, went to movies and I even got to share my first beer with Nick at the Coors Brewery in Golden, Co. It was really fun to see him encouraged and accepted and loved by our faith community! He studied for almost 3 months and finally passed his Journeyman’s exam!  I was blessed to see Nick have a grin on his face as he was publically recognized by Kevin Potter and prayed for.

I think I like this one better! What do you think? It does need some work though.

Below are some rough notes I was taking at the Wordcamp until the bandwidth gave out and I could not blog live. None the less, I met some very cool people and felt a part of this community.

This afternoon my son and I went to see Clint Eastwood’s new movie, Gran Torino. It was a great father and son movie as Mr Kowalski’s neighbor teenager was learning how to be a man. It was fabulous as it was about life and death and the bigger ticket items of life. It even had a deeper meaning about God and religion. If you are a little like me and a sceptic of the religious organizations, you will love the underlying moments of this movie. I myself am a retired autorker and appreciated the work ethic and buy American values, even though the racism and rough language my not float your boat. Go see it anyway and stay awake and it will “make your day.”

New Christmas Poem

> TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
> HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
> IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
> PLASTER AND STONE.

> I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
> WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
> AND TO SEE JUST WHO
> IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.

> I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
> A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
> NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
> NOT EVEN A TREE.

> NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
> JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
> ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
> OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
