a great weekend

i just got back from the annual men's retreat with my church brethren. it was a great weekend. gordon dickson was the speaker and was greatly used to give practical applications of God's word. after hearing much about him from friends in the g'ville area, i was happy to finally meet him and talk with him. the services were excellent and obviously what we all needed.


i'm doing my best not to stay calm about the whole foosball tournament. my partner and i lost in the first round. . .but that isn't what bothered me. we lost because we were on the bad side of the table. 5 shots hit the back of the goal and popped back out + my front line wasn't tight enough to get a descent shot (not to mention the feet were worn on the edges, so i couldn't spin the ball very well). let you think this is all just my opinion, we replayed the team that beat us and switched sides and toasted them royally. yes, i know it sounds like i am bitter, but that is just the residue of my crushed spirit. volleyball tourney was fun (even though the ball was a rock) and the better team definitely won. making it to the final round was fun in itself and if we had won, it would've been a fluke.

though many didn't think it would happen, the dodgers clinched a spot in the playoffs today.
so exciting that it takes 2 lines in my blog.

osu continues to be #1 in the nation. tonight's game was a lot of fun to watch. no more difficult teams until november 18th. kinda makes me nervous. anything can happen in the big ten (for example: who would've thought illinois would knock off michigan state?) . . .especially when a good team gets cocky.

here are some videos i shot a while ago and kept forgetting to post. the kids are practicing their answers to the question: how old are you? enjoy.

go bucks

i can't say that i am disappointed that osu is ranked #1 in college football. perhaps surprised, perhaps in disagreement, perhaps in denial, but certainly not disappointed. tomorrow night's game against texas should be interesting to watch. our defense has gotten worse, but so has their offense. i think our offense is better than our defense for a change. . .but that may not be a good change. texas and michigan may be the only tough games in the osu schedule, but i know they are capable of losing to just about anyone when they get arrogant. texas having home field advantage may actually be one of the deciding factors.

funny to see lots of osu pics on espn.com. if they lose to texas, that will all change.



very good to see that the dodgers are still on top of the nl west. again, surprised, in denial, but not disappointed. the chief needs to keep predicting that they will never win again. this seems to help. . .perhaps stir them up a bit.

fun flies when you're doing time.

thanks bob for the many reminders to post. the school year has begun and life is anything but boring. . .especially since there is a mouse in the house and my wife is freaked out about it. funny thing is that i don't remember her being this freaked out about the many mice that passed through our home up north. for some reason, this one lone (as for as we know) critter is more terrorizing in my wife's mind than that bearded fellow in the middle east (at least that is my guess. i have no knowledge of his current whereabouts).

so school started. i gave my advanced computer students a powerpoint assignment. one of the tasks was to "hide" a slide. one student brags that he is all done with the assignment on the day i gave it to them. i questioned him about the location of his hidden slide. his reply, "it's hidden". ok, so you would have to know what i am talking about for this to be funny. . .but trust me, it's funny. by the way, there are 10 types of people: those who know how to count and those who don't. if you don't get it, look up "binary" in a dictionary or encyclopedia.

sleep study was just so much fun that i can't wait to do it again (i guess i won't have to wait much longer than 4 months). below are some pics from the latest excitement. the bottom 2 pictures are a couple of the masks i got to try out. the last one is the one i ended up using most of the night. i think this is the kind they are sending me. my kids were excited about hearing the news of my "elephant" mask. upon seeing the pictures, the warrior child asked me if i made elephant noises when they put it on me. of course, he didn't say elephant noises, he just made the noises. it made me laugh quite a bit.

       

here is a video clip that i find myself watching almost every other day. i don't know much about the original show, but this is a great parody.
