Quote of the week

“Shooting a handgun at a bowling ball, which was locatedon top of a car in the middle of a junkyard full of steel, was not a reasonably safething to do.” - duh.

Wait, Wait… here are the pictures!

Last week Diane and I were able to hang out with the cast and crew of NPR’s “Wait,Wait… don’t tell me”. It was a lot of fun meeting everyone and seeingthe show being recorded. It was also fun to hang out at the ArizonaBiltmore for two nights.

I think the highlight was meeting Adam Felber, on of the panelists, and Amanda Gibson,the Director of the show. They were both a lot of fun to talk to. Adamhas a blog that’s very interesting at felbers.net/mt. Adam wrote a little blurb about himself thatI really relate to:

The dinner-party question that most people have no problemwith is always a real trauma for me:

“So, what do you do?”

Inevitably, a difficult negotiation process follows. Mostpeople who ask that question want a nice, simple answer…

I used to feel the exact same way back in my Student Life days. Now things aremuch easier to explain, but my past is always murky. It’s nice to have someonewho shares my pain.

Amanda Gibson was also very interesting. She’s the kind of person who just makesthings happen by working very hard. It was great fun listening to her tell thestory of how she became the director at such a young age.

You can see a few pictures of our evening in my Wait,Wait photo album.

Baptism

On Sunday my friend Cecil was baptized. It was awesome. Diane and I wentto a house in Ocotillo, AZ (close to Diane’s house) and watched as the pastor of Crossroadsbaptized 9 people. Cecil’s son was also baptized. One of the women whowas baptized, Shannon, had an amazing testimony.

I happened to be filming the event and I thought I’d share Cecil and Shannon’s baptismwith you. Just right click one of the files below and save the file to yourhard drive for later viewing.
