I Just Couldn't Do It

I must admit failure. I just couldn't do it. I tried. I really did try. I only lasted a day and a half. I even left my floors in the middle of cleaning them - then I couldn't put it off any longer. The computer and keyboard just, well, pulled me over and invited me to get this posted and off my mind. Then I would be able to concentrate on the tasks at hand.

Have you ever had a dream where you go to school without your clothes on? If so, I'm sure Dr. Phil would see some dark deep meaning behind it.

Well here in Phoenix it happened. Not the dream - in real life. Yes, yesterday morning I got an early phone call from Doug at work. "Help, I came to work without my pants! I need you to bring me some."

WHAT!!?? you might ask. But sure enough - he was at work with no pants. Don't let your hearts fret too much. He rode his bike to work in his styling biking shorts. So he was fully covered. But you just can't be taken too seriously as an engineer with a button-down collared shirt with church socks and work shoes while wearing a pair of padded cycling shorts.

I am laughing now as I type this out. Sorry Doug! Like I said, I tried to avoid posting about it - but I just couldn't do it.

Scratchy Tags

I can't stand it. Sometimes the tags in my clothes drive me crazy! Doug thinks I've got a Princess and the Pea saga going on. But heck - if they scratch the back of my neck - THEY'RE GONE!! I always give the tag a chance at being nice. But the tags in the shirt I got on vacation only lasted about 30 seconds.

Can't someone please make tags that don't scratch my neck?!

Mighty Colorado

I went on a wonderful 5 day backpacking hike into the Grand Canyon. One night we camped on the banks of the Colorado River! WOW! What a neat experience. Here is a short video to give you a taste of what it was like.
