Figured I better catch up here since I've been neglecting the blog. Sorry to those who follow us here. Let's see; a summary of recent happenings... During the same week as the heinous altercation with the mean notary lady, I got slammed with hate mail and threats from readers of the magazine I edit because I'd chosen a cover photo that included Hillary Clinton. Now all these hateful people have called me names for two weeks, saying what a communist idiot I must be to promote her presidential campaign on the cover of a conservative Christian magazine. Personally, I have little interest in or knowledge about politics. I don't have a clue what Hillary stands for, votes for, etc., much less that she's actually considering running for president. I used it because it was a good shot of our religious liberty associate director interacting with her during an official Adventist event. Frankly, Hillary Clinton probably has a more "Christian" attitude than some of the people who've written and called in about the photo.
Anyway, during that same week (after July 4), a rat died in/on the air conditioner motor of my car, so my ride was FOUL. Had to take it to the dealer for a clean-up, but also because the thing had broken the A/C motor. They had it for almost a week working on it; scrubbing, anti-bacterializing, etc. GROSS. At the same time, we had to buy a new washer/dryer for the same reason (dead rats up inside, stinking up our house). Extra foul now that it's really hot. I'm really mad that the administrators of the school campus where we live won't help with the rodent control. I suspect they're legally liable for it anyway. I'm going to have to press them on the issue, because it's not fair that I'm paying for rodent control for the whole campus.
Last weekend we played hookie from church and Jon/Amy, Tim/Kim (plus their daugter and Kim's mom), Jeremy/Michelle, Ken and I went to the beach. We grilled out, Boogie-boarded, and just hung out. Nice time. Then we gathered for a haystack supper. Yum. They convinced me to play spoons or something like that. Card game where you grab a spoon as you're done; sorta like musical chairs... The one left without a spoon loses. I lost. Not surprising, considering the week I'd had.
It's been really hot here; in the 90s and no breeze. We don't have A/C in our house, so it's almost intolerable. My computer even had a overheating error and shut down one afternoon. Sheesh. Today we went to the school pool, which happens to be at the end of our driveway. What a blessing!
Ken got a new computer game today so he can play against Jeremy online; Medal of Honor, Allied Assault. It's a WWII game, pretty neat; looks real. I probably won't see him again for a week; he'll be in here playing it (our two computers are side by side in our office; he's on mine now because it runs the game better, and I'm on his laptop, which is really hard to type on).
Guess I better go finish the vaccuuming before sundown.
