Are you wearing red?

Good show this morning on The “O” Word on BlogTalkRadio:

I sent out a prayer request for “Concrete Bob” Miller, who suffered a heart attack, we talked about snakefish and eels found in places they logically shouldn’t be, and my grand-nephew Jacob will be joining us today. In Celebrity Birthdays, today’s question – Who is Anni-Frid Lyngstad? She turned 64 this week, why is she famous? Leave your answer in the comments. I talked about Holiday Mail For Heroes – follow that link to participate. Big thanks to Paul “Prying1” Young, co-host of Left Coast Righteo and Harvest Pastor of Harvest Radio for calling in and contributing.

Friday News

Short show on The “O” Word – there was a Skype Skip right after the show started, and it went downhill from there. BTR thinks I was not interested in continuing the show, so I was on but not streaming – which means that if you tuned in to listen, you got bupkis. Listen to the show (all 21 minutes) in archive.

Speaking of the show – during the birthday listings I asked who two people were. In the comments, if you remember, tell me who Christopher Knight and Philip McKeon are. Their occupations and why they would be listed in the celebrity birthday section…

Be sure to wear red today, thank the next Veteran you come across, and have a great weekend – I’m off to finish a roofing project. Sorry, no pictures for this one.

Long Week – it’s Friday!

Ended up working all week – the dishwasher called in sick on Tuesday and Wednesday – and quite frankly, I’m not getting enough sleep. So, again, the blog(s) suffer. Sorry about that.

Part of the not-enough-sleep issue is not getting notified when anyone makes a comment – so, if you have made a comment lately, and I did not comment back, I am not ignoring you – I just haven’t been on except to check my e-mail and try to my farm going in Facebook. If I didn’t get a notification, because WordPress is demanding I update (again!), then I apologize. And, as soon as I am within a hair’s breadth of being caught up again, I will catch up on all the comments again.

Another part of the whole “busybusybusy” thing I seem to be living in is that the BlogTalkRadio auotmatic scheduler didn’t. I was not aware of that until I tried to call in to host my show this morning. By the time I figured out what was going on (or, more correctly, what wasn’t going on) it was too late to get a show started. So, I just did stuff around the house instead. Now, here it is the late afternoon, and I realized I hadn’t even posted my usual reminder to Wear Red.

I am such a slacker. Why do you keep coming back?

(apologies to those of you who are not fans of “Madagascar” – I’ve heard that line way too many times recently)

Good show this morning at The O Word. At least, I think it was a good show. Go give it a listen and let me know what you think…

I had mentioned a while ago about getting the Hope Chest (the Project That Will Not Leave) to the point where the customer’s color choice is needed. Here are the pictures – first, a series of close-ups showing the detail of the front panel (remember that there is no color on the walnut, and walnut varies from bone white to a dark ash color), click to enlarge:

This one shows the new drawer I had to build, and the veneer laid out to put on the front of the bottom rail and drawer front:
