Yes, less than a month before the little girl arrives. Are you in the Baby Pool? Well, get there! Over 800 BlogMad credits…

Tomorrow is Friday; I’ll try to get a reminder up for you to Wear Red and Support our Troops. I’ll be stylin’ in my new “Lighting Sharp” red polo.

Let me jump in here with a traffic tip: If the BIG FLASHING ARROWS are indicating a closed lane ahead, slow down and change lanes to the lane that continues. Avoid the urge to run right up to the BIG FLASHING ARROWS to force your way in at the last possible second. If you do it again, I will beat you to a pulp while asking why you are so much more important than the rest of us waiting patiently to get through the construction…

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!

I am going to be a new daddy in less than a month.

I realized this (or should I say, this point was driven home to me) whilst listening to KLOVE on the radio the other day and John Rivers, the morning host (with his lovely bride Sherri) said that it was thirty days until Christmas.

Thirty days. Now, it’s even less. And Christmas Day is the projected due date of the bundle of joy. Are you in the pool yet? Over 800 BlogMad credits are up for grabs…

Less than thirty days. Wow.

So, how was your Thanksgiving Holiday? TMBWitW and I spent the day at the house, with the exception of the church service. We had some turkey and mashed potatoes, stuffing and peas (with baby onions). Friday I went to my toy store (big blue sign, rhymes with Bowes) and picked up some 2x4s and three sheets of 3/4″ plywood. Since the room that used to have our “extra” stuff in it is now a baby room, we have had some boxes and what not stacked in the hallway. I built some shelves in what is now the hobby room (as opposed to train room – I gave up some much-needed real estate, since I do most of my model railroading on a club layout; I need less room for a shelf-type switching layout than the miniature empire I had planned) so that the hallway can be navigated by a certain person who is much larger than she was a few months ago. Saturday was spent cleaning the house. Sunday was spent visiting TMBWitW’s cousins in Kingman, and, since it would be the last trip up there for a while, we exchanged Christmas gifts. It was quite enjoyable, and not nearly as traumatic as certain trips up there have been.

Wow. Less than thirty days.

I have one more project in the baby room – a “knob board” – basically, a board, with knobs mounted on it, to hang clothes on. Pretty, frilly, special clothes, on pretty, frilly, special miniature hangers. I’ll get a picture of that one, it should be good.

I missed doing this last Friday, so maybe this will make up for it:

Go here. Order a shirt or two, and steal this picture. Plaster it all over the web. Please. Show your support for our troops!

Thank you, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!

I just haven’t been adding chapters like I thought I would be.

I do apologize, and ask you to bear with me. If you have arrived here through a Google search, please poke around a bit and leave a message somewhere.

If you surfed in here from BlogMad or BlogSoldiers, hi there!

Grassroots Americans Have a Voice

For more than two years, Grassfire.org has been one organization that spearheaded a national campaign resulting in the presentation of more than 150,000 citizen petitions to the FCC, and leaders in Congress, as well as a letter-writing campaign that saw the delivery of more than 10,000 protest letters to each FCC commissioner.

Earlier this year, Grassfire rallied tens of thousands to send emails to the manufacturer of a video game that could be manipulated by the user to unlock adult sexual content.

Their action prompted the game maker to pull the game from the shelves and re-edit the material.

Grassfire was also instrumental in the passage of the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2005 (S. 193), that will raise fines from $32,500 to $325,000 to broadcasters airing offensive material.

By adding my name to the 307,286 citizens who are standing for broadcast decency, I have a voice in this debate, and can impact the issue through Grassfire.

Please join with me on this important issue, and together let’s work to take back the airwaves and protect family viewing times.

Go here.

Order a shirt (or two, or five) and Wear Red on Fridays – Support Your Troops! Check out the new polos – Sugarcat is modeling one at the top of the page, and it sure looks good. I’m ordering one for each of us, and then I’m going to send Sue our picture.

I probably won’t be able to post over the weekend – got some projects to finish up and others to get started before a certain young lady shows up.

I feel such a sense of peace since leaving the cabinet industry – my stress level has gone way, way down. That has the side effect of mellowing out my view on life, also – which means there aren’t so many obvious observations to make. However – I am sure you will be hearing from me again on certain, unuversal subjects (hint: drivers in Phoenix).

Through my brief job search period, I knew and kept telling everyone here and elsewhere that God has everything under control. I still know that, and I want you to understand that. It’s not something proven empirically, it is a step of faith in every way shape and form. Want to know more? Drop me a line.

I appreciate all you readers, every single one, even if you haven’t joined the Great Big Wonderful Baby Pool. If you have, I appreciate you even more.

God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!
