Random Thoughts 4/29/08

• How much has sea level risen since 1850? One whole foot! Has the world ended? Were cities flooded? Read about other global warming misconceptions and understand the arguments involved with this great article here. It's also always good to hear from Victor Davis Hanson on any topic of historic importance.
• Our church is meeting with an architectural team tonight. I'm really looking forward to it. It should be really informative.
• Elijah is such a bandwagon fan. A few weeks ago he hardly ever mentioned Jayhawks. Now they're national champions and Elijah can't go a day without a KU shirt or a Jayhawk toy. Those four-year olds and their fair-weather devotions.
• I play basketball every Tuesday at Noon down in Bonner Springs. We were supposed to have a nice large group of ten or twelve guys, almost twice normal. So I arrive expecting a good crowd but actually find Jay-rod shooting baskets by himself. What?! We ended up with only four guys. So much for five-on-five.
• Don't miss the latest goings on in Mexico with Mexico Aviator, which is basically like Jungle Aviator but less green and more brown. And on a different continent. Other than that it's essentially the same.
  
• Most of the time spent on the Wii has been Brennan and Tanner playing games. I'm behind them at a distant second. But Mom hasn't played a whole lot… until now. We found a cheap pinball game that has ten classic pinball tables from the 70's, 80's, and 90's and Shannon's addicted! We've always liked pinball, but this game really takes the cake. If you like pinball at all, Pinball Hall of Fame: the Williams Collection is a must (and for $19 at Target it's much more affordable than all the quarters you'd go through).
• We're going back to two services this Sunday at church and I'm not freaking out yet. Hmm… maybe it will hit later…
• You should see the the boys! Shannon buzzed their heads for the summer and they all look like basic training recruits. Brennan and Tanner especially look like twins with the same haircut and matching clothes. Tanner is actually half an inch taller and a few pounds heavier than his older brother.
  
• In case you missed it, here's the link to the funny video Shannon had on her blog: Falcor!
