Like a train on a track

Lifting Burdens

I have watched this video a number of times. Well, I don't really watch, I listen. I find that I'm distracted by the images of the video. Instead I close my eyes and listen to the words being spoken by voices that I know so well--that I love and respect. Aren't the messages shared here amazing? And it's even more amazing because those messages are true.

My days is colder

Okay. I saw this on a blog that I follow and it is so awesome that I had to share it.

Oh. And two other things:

1. I wish I were cool
2. I wish I could DANCE

America's Lamest

I really hate America's Funniest Home Videos.

They aren't funny.

The host is inane.

Never seen it? Let me sum up the only three jokes it features: sledding accidents, baby/pet mishaps, men getting hit in the crotch.

Why watch that when you can watch something great, like Antiques Roadshow?

I'd be okay if she forgot me

I do laundry every week, usually three or four loads. After the clothes are washed and dried, I take the warm baskets into the bedroom and fold and hang up the shirts and sweaters and slacks. Every week I listen to the radio program This American Life as I do this. Sometimes the episodes make me laugh out loud, sometimes they just make me think. There are stories that stay with me and stories that I seem to forget, or at least to tuck away into some hazy lobe of memory until they come back to me, triggered by a word or a feeling.

I've listened to almost all of the episodes from 2009 and 2010, so I've started dipping into older years. From 2008 there is an episode called "Life After Death." The second act of the episode is called "Guilty As Not Charged." It stays with me.
