My three contacts

Okay, I know that I STILL haven't written about the cruise, my trip to Vicksburg, or last week's trip to Zion National Park. HOWEVER, this week was a pretty interesting, stressful, depressing, awful, ugly week at work. On Wednesday afternoon I cracked (big time). I'm not going to go into details but let's say it was bad enough. SO....., after talking to a good friend/counselor, she told me that I needed to write down the names of my three contacts. The first two were pretty easy but I had a hard time with the third. Now, I certainly don't want to offend anyone or make anyone feel bad but the criteria was if I called you would you NO MATTER WHAT, drop everything and answer my call.

#1 - my wife, Marcella Davis
#2 - my sister, Jennifer Anderson
#3 - my friend, Clark Henderson

What's funny is that I'm pretty sure that none of these three people will ever read this or know about this but that's okay. I know that I could call them. The last thing I'm supposed to do is sign it. So let it be.

CNN and Dr. James Dobson

Today I read a commentary by Dr. James Dobson on CNN. Although I don't always agree with him I do on this particular issue. What I found funny is that if you try to leave/send your comments to the article (at the bottom of the page), the link comes up as "Page Not Found". I guess Dobson shouldn't have criticized the "mainstream media" i.e. CNN.

I hate dentists

Well, actually, it's more the dental hygienists that I dislike. I guess that it is a necessary fact of life that you have to pay them a visit (literally) a couple of times a year. Luckily for me I got a pat on the back and walked out of there 30 minutes later still with no cavities. Thank goodness for 1) fluorinated water and 2) parents that didn't feed me too much junk as a kid.

Keep your eye on this one

The creators of South Park Trey Parker and Matt Stone are working on a Broadway musical - about Mormons. Could be quite scary.

Other bloggers....

I wanted to point out a few good posts that I've read the past couple of days. Such good stuff. Norm just got back from his "European vacation". Give it a read. He is a big history nut and he got to visit Normandy DURING the D-Day celebration.

On Kevin's Clariticity, you can read about the new change with the Coinstar machines. You now have the option of getting iTunes cards or Amazon cards instead of cash. The best part? No 9% fee.! Also, if you are wondering what to get your Pops for Father's day, look no further.

However, the best post goes to a guy I've never met. Several months ago I started reading this guy's blog about "Becoming Ironman". I tell you, this guy is a blogger. You may not find his stuff interesting but I love reading it. Today I read his post about getting a haircut recently. If you want a good laugh, give it a read. I was ROFLMAO.

Too little time too much to do.

Do you ever feel like that there just isn't enough time in the day? Just when I had a few minutes, I start IMing my father, watching TV, and reading everyone else's blog. First of all, I still have to write about our trip. Hopefully, this weekend. This week I've been in Orlando. Again! I've been here several times already this year. Short notice so paying the $1300 fare automatically got me upgraded. I worked with a new company on Wednesday. Looks like we could do more work together in the future. I found a pretty good seafood place (Fish Bones). It is right next door to the place I stay (Marriott of course). Last night I had a very tasty Sea Bass dish topped with the chocolate cake for desert. Tonight I stumbled on a tasty sushi place (Sushi House). I usually am not swayed by "Best Sushi" and crap like that but if you're down here, do go for a visit. I highly recommend the "Happy Sumo", and the "Graduation Roll". Both are award winners. Well, I need to do another post so TTFN.
