The first time I flipped the bird.

I remember like it was yesterday the first time I flipped (or is it flicked) the middle finger (the bird) to someone. I was in grade school, and was walking back to my house with my sister Jody after getting dropped off from the bus. (By the way - this is back in the day when they dropped you off a half mile, at least, from your home - none of this "door to door" stuff!) So as we walked home on that sunny day some boys from my neighborhood who were naughty (also the first to show me a movie with naked people and their dad's mags) yelled some words at us and I did the statue of liberty with one middle finger raised up and I yelled something... I am not sure what I yelled and I know I didn't fully understand what the "tall man" meant, but my sister knew that we were not supposed to do it... so she did what every good younger sister would do... run home and tell mom. Thanks for caring about my holiness Jody. :)

Innocence lost. :)

Deurty, I was taught by a girl in third grade. Tammy Danger was her name. I guess the name fit the crime...

WHAT A GREAT NAME!
Would you let your kids hang out with a girl named that? It wasn't your fault - it was your parents lack of judgement... that name is priceless! She married a German named: Tommy Auchtung! :)

Did Daddy Dibs spank you for that one... or did he just heap some more Dutch Guilt on you.

Spent the day with my family and extended family at my folks. They live across the street from a park and a beach on Lake Michigan. We hung out under the blazing sun and I got burned. I went and picked up hot dogs and stuff for Sunday morning. It will be fitting to gather and worship God, the ultimate freedom giver, on the fourth of July. Have a great weekend! I'm golfing tomorrow with my dad and two brother in laws. I'm addicted to caffeine, sd

Working today on the garage sale for tomorrow. Tonight Vic and I are heading to Outback Steakhouse to use some gift certificates from Christmas! I can't believe it took so long to use them!

I still need to find time to finish my message... It has been a long week of trying to put it together. The well is a bit dry... Garage Sale boy, sd
