It's 100 degrees and I get sick...Go figure.

Last Wednesday night I started to feel a little tickle in my throat. Eight days and several new symptoms later, the little tickle is starting to look like an inevitable doctors visit.

There were good days when I didn't feel a thing during the past week that kept me from making a visit. Besides that I really don't like going to the doctor. I haven't since I was a young lad. The reasons why have drastically changed however. For example, I used to fear the doctor because he'd poke me with a needle...Now I fear him because I don't have health insurance and he will cost me a bunch of paper. My fiance and I (jokingly) said we were going to head to the courthouse and get married today so I can get on her health insurance plan.

Today isn't that bad however. I have my Alka-Seltzer and we got a brand new Kandiyohi water dealy right in front of my office, so I'm totally hydrated. I was starting to think I was getting worse and I'd need to stay home this afternoon but then I got a text from a friend who needs a sub in his golf league...And suddenly I feel quite a bit better!

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.
