I'm typically not one to give advice on how to pick up women.

This morning I came into work and had a huge stack of papers in front of my computer with a sticky note from my boss that read:

Chase, please see me on this right away. It's not as bad as it looks.

Assuming that I'd be doing 4 hours of typesetting I slowly dragged my body to my boss' office. However she was right, there was just a few lines here and there that needed re-typed. The booklet is called "Wedding Alternatives" and it a guide to planning your wedding without using the commercially prescribed aspects that seem to distract from the truly important things about marriage and a wedding. It brings up a lot of good points, so if you're getting married this is definitely worth checking out.

Saturday I stopped by a friends wedding reception for a few hours, to find all of my high school friends drunk as could be! The reception area was decorated nicely, with plenty of snacks and alcohol. One of my best friends, Jon, was pretty intoxicated to say the least. I made the mistake of telling him a friend of my fiance was in town and staying at my place. He has had a little crush on her for a while, and that can be trouble when a guy has had as much as he had to drink.

After relentless requests from him to go out to my house with me, I caved in. We got to the house and I told him, "Just play it cool...She's sober as a nun right now, you don't want to do anything stupid.". Jon gave me a look as if he were saying, "Chase, would I do that?" and yes, he would.

20 minutes into our little party, we were in the middle of a conversation I hear Jon say, "I think I could puke". Now, I didn't really have a set of rules of what not to say that I followed when hitting on women, but I am positive that if I did this would be at the top! Needless to say, Jon went home alone that night.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
