Random Thoughts 7/23/09

• We had a great event last night at the church for the kids. We had 113 people (children and parents) for a premiere of the new VeggieTales video. Our new youth minister, Chris put it together and did a great job, especially with being so well organized.
• "If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it's free."
• Our house is 95% back together after the floors were redone. Now that the inconvenience of storing our kitchen in the living room and hallway is over, it's easier to enjoy the wonderful new flooring. Thanks Dad for all your help!
  
• I just can't wait until going to the doctor is like going to Department of Motor Vehicles.
• We're getting ready to leave for Colorado. It's incredible how many loose ends you have to tie up to get a family of seven out the door for seven days. House-sitter? Car-top carrier? Diversions for the ride? Hotel reservations? Route planning? Plans for the animals back home? It keeps adding up.
  
• "If we change our health care system to be like the Canadian's, then where will Canadians go for health care?"
• I stopped worrying about pending retirement/possible comeback of future Hall of Famer Brett Favre a long time ago.
  
• "Health care isn't broken in America. It's too expensive. So remove the lawyers and bureaucracy and you'll reduce costs to doctors and hospitals, lowering the price of health care."
