typical summertime stuff

Kids have been doing Vacation Bible School this week... watched them at the end of their session yesterday.. they do this song with choreography and its kinda cool to see how in to it they all are. I am reminded of the fact that I went to church virtually every Sunday for the first 18 years of my life... I am not overly religious nor anti religion now... but I just dont really get into it at all. I understand it, the foundation it provides and I know I am about as versed in biblical history and teachings as anybody. But I just cant see myself doing the every Sunday thing at any point

Prep is pretty much done for our trip to Florida. All we gotta do now is get there.... the twins do not know we are going to Disney World. They just know we are going to Florida to visit some friends, although Ryles did mention somewhat offhand (yeah right...) that she thought Disney World was in Florida too... As of now, i dont plan on telling them until we arrive to park the car at Wally World. I can already imagine Ryles looking at signs and pondering out loud about the proximity of Disney World, while I-Man plays his Nintendo DS in blissful ignorance... suddenly looking up when Ryles mentions something about a sign for Disney World. We'll see how that plays out... already have Mickey/Minnie T's, etc. so we dont have to buy them on site...

kinda have to wonder what Obama supporters think of ABC doing their news broadcast from the White House, refusing to offer an oposing point of view to Obama and the health plan they will be promoting on the broadcast. How can any same person think that this isnt further evdence that the public isnt getting the full story? Can you now trust ABC to offer anything but what they feel will show Obama and his policies in a positive light? That answer is no. And they havent in the past, nor has NBC or CBS. And you have Obama whining about FOXNEWS and how they are always criticizing him. Hmmmm... if he doesnt like Foxnews, he certainly has far more options to watch that openly CHEERLEAD for him. And for everyone who complains about Foxnews and the conservative talkshows.... ever wonder why it is that they are on? because no one watches the other stuff... Foxnews as 4 times as many people watching it as the other 3 main channels combined. why is that? I just cant see how anyone can think that his being on tv EVERYDAY and his announcing EVERYDAY that the government is taking over something else, and creating ANOTHER government agency.... that this is what our President and government should be doing....

at any rate, typical summer routines for now... occasional pool at Y, gym stuff... previous mentioned VBS, visits to Nanna and Papa, as well as Grandma... old school summer routine of pleasant mornings, hot temps midday with T-Storms in evening followed by humidity at sunset. THAT is what i remember summers here to be.. not the droughts of the past 3 years or so...
