I probably looked like the Ultimate Warrior in the first ten seconds of this video, while I was thinking about shoveling all the snow.
Ashlee-Heather usually leaves me with a nice checklist of things to accomplish, just in case I find myself looking for something to do. My mission today: get some salt for all the ice on the walk-way down to our apartment. This is one thing that I will accomplish because I, for one, do not want to slip and fall on a 6 inch thick sheet of jagged ice from frozen boot marks in the (Mack)neer future.

Also, Ashlee-Heather and I have noticed some boot tracks in our backyard. I’m thinking of calling up the neighborhood crime-watch team to investigate. And if that doesn’t work I’ll just have to rely on my instincts inherited from the Cat (daddymack) who used to head up the CW team in Portland. I think they’re just my boot tracks anyway or the huge raccoon that lives in the shed next door. One day I threw a big loaf of garlic bread over at the raccoon’s shed as a peace offering. There was way too much garlic on that thing.

And finally, I got this new pocket calendar a couple of weeks ago. I feel real professional with it and I can say things like “well, let me check my calendar.” The thing about pocket calendar’s, though, is that you can’t just be happy to fill it up. You really got to watch what you’re putting in there. Like, for instance, this week I have written down two 7 a.m. breakfast meetings. These are examples of me being happy to put something in my pocket calendar without taking into account the fact that I haven’t seen 7 a.m. since Turtle’s cell phone alarm used to wake everyone up in the room but Turtle. I’m just playing, I actually did like getting up and having a breakfast meeting. I think I might start adding more of them. It adds more hours to the day. Alright, as Walter Burney once said “it’s time to break into this day.”
Ashlee-Heather recently noticed that I wrote on some facebook walls and that her wall was left out. Then she went further and said that she was willing to bet that she wrote on my facebook wall more recently that I wrote on hers. Well, I did some investigating when I got home and saw that on september 10th, at 5:15 p.m, Ashlee-Heather wrote Help!!! on my facebook wall. To which I responded promptly with a What’s up? at 6:20 p.m on that same evening, I hope that wasn’t an emergency. Now, Ashlee-Heather owes me twenty bucks. American.

In other news, I had such a good sleep last night that I was snoring really loud. Leading the lovely Ashlee-heather to try and start a pillow fight with me at 5 in the morning. (By that I mean, Ashlee-Heather hit me with a pillow and proceeded to change sleeping locations before I knew what was happening.)

And finally, one week from tomorrow and we’ll be touching down in sunny Orlando, Florida. Looking forward to it. See you soon. (I’ve decided I’m going to start ending blog entries like I would end an email.)
I like to go to thrift stores and find weird stuff. I almost bought a vintage tricycle today. They don’t make tricycles like they used to. This tricycle could hold my weight and I could ride it around the Goodwill. You can’t put a price on that. Then, I looked at a toaster that looked like it was from 1948. I wanted to get that and put it in my office so people ask me why I have a toaster in my office. Tops on my list of things I want to buy from the thrift store in 2009 include: a rotary phone, a record player, and a sewing machine on which I will make something and wear it.

In other news, Ashlee-heather has been under the weather lately with larengitus, tonsilitus, and strep throat itus. Yesterday, she asked me why one of her socks was in the kitchen drawer where we put the dish towels. I asked her why a dish towel was in her sock drawer. Actually, I didn’t ask her that. I just thought of that now. Wondering what Ashlee-heather would say if I did say that. itus.

And finally, it’s been a while since we’ve done something crazy with our youth group at BBC so next week I will be introducing “Randy Jackson presents Bramalea’s best yo-yo crew.” This is where everyone gets a dollar store yo-yo and breaks into teams and comes up with the best choreographed yo-yo routine. Seacrest Out.
This is our new nephew! His name is Javan. The son of Big boy and Mary Kay.
Over Christmas Ashlee-Heather and I visited Pittsburgh. While there I got this Nerf gun from my brother. It has more power than you’d expect. My first shot accidently hit Daddymack in the keyster. My new years resolution is to start a Nerf Gun league at the church building.

In other news, one day in Pittsburgh it reached 70 degrees. Global warming is really hitting hard down there.

And finally, Happy 2009!
