We're so pathetic...

Michelle and I are FREEZING! I just came home from class and it feels like a freakin' freezer in the house. I checked the temp and promptly turned on the heater. It was 69 degrees in our house! Gosh!

We went to the Malibu Pres Autumn Festival tonight. It was a kick. One of the highlights was the rock wall. Marcus tried several times. At first, he would go about 10-feet, then drop back down and do it again. Finally, on his fourth try he kept going. He LOVED it! He did it over and over. After his third time to the top, I had to beg him to leave so we could go do something else. He was so proud. Later that night as we sat around eating dinner he said, "Dad, I was in outer space! It was just black above me!" :-) So cute! I still remember the first time Matt made it to the top at a mall in Nashville with the Becks. He was probably about 4 or 5.

Good days.

A reason to celebrate...

Guess who was named one of the 2007 Howard A. White Teaching Excellence Award winners at this year's Pepperdine University Faculty Conference?

Thanks KK!

Speaking of old friends... KK read my post a few weeks ago where Tiny had a bad case of "slug disease". Today, this tee shirt arrived in the mail for her. She loves it!

Thanks, KK!

Old friends...

I'll never forget one of the oddest social experiences I have ever had.

It was one time when I was a student At Oklahoma Christian. I was probably twenty years old and was visiting a church in Dallas with a friend of mine. before the service as we were sitting and waiting for things to the again, a woman in front of me turned around to look in the back of the auditorium. When she saw my face she'd looked straight into my eyes and asked "Are you David and Jeanette Williams' son?"

I felt so odd. Almost like I had done something wrong.

This was a church I have never been to and I had no memory of this woman. However, she had been a close family friend fifteen years earlier when we lived in Dallas. Somehow, she recognized me over fifteen years later even though I was only a kid when we left TX.

I had a similar experience this week when I ran into an old friend from Frederick. I haven't seen the Bryan's since 1984 when I was a freshman in HS. Yet we recognized one another and enjoyed an afternoon together.

Here's to old friends!

Vote for 9/12

Tom Friedman is a good author (I recommend "The World is Flat"). But I don't often read his NYT OpEd column. Today's however, is worth a read.

Enough is enough!

When will madness like this stop? I've blogged before about Blackwater, but what will it take to stop this craziness?
