The Very Picture of ADHD
I have about 10,000 thoughts a day, most come and go rather quickly. Some are a little shinier and I play with them for a while longer. Here is a mixture of the two.
My friend is running a marathon tomorrow. She said, “Hey, you can follow my journey with text alerts.” Oh, that sounded about my level of marathon running. I did not think it through, she is running it at Disney World. Which you all know is in Florida, on the east coast. The EARLIEST time zone. The race starts at 5:00 in the a.m. in the earliest time zone. Which means….she’ll have run most of it before I even wake up, unless I forget to turn off my phone. 
Well, maybe since she can drag herself and her many small children to Florida and RUN a marathon, I can wake up at check points and say a prayer for her.
I said maybe. I haven’t really gotten to the “deny myself” stage of Christianity yet.

While we were on the mountain, the resort where we were at had one tv. ONE tv for hundreds of rooms. Needless to say, we weren’t up to date with all the constant news cycle. We left the city with a 30 second loop of “what might have happened on a flight on Christmas Day.” Really not the whole point of “NEWS” if the words “might have happened” cross your lips you really should be ashamed of yourself as a journalist. NEWS is what happened. When we came down the mountain five days later the same loop was still playing. We’d been back a week before we learned that the guy was on some sort of watch list, but his Visa application had his name spelled differently and no one caught it. So, instead of writing some sort of computer algorithm that checks close matches to names, or having people who process Visas check ID’s better, we are going with the full body scanner things.
They showed one on the “news” the other day, but couldn’t get too close because “we’d be able to tell he was a man”.
Well, that’s in everybody’s best security interests.
When most security breeches are caused by error on part of the screeners anyway. Might as well take advantage of the news induced fear to violate us further.
When they take over health care, we can just go a couple hours early to the airport, get our free colonoscopy, a quick mammogram or prostate exam, maybe a swine flu test and/or vaccination.
I think I’m going to take flying lessons.

I think we are finally over Jon & Kate. Yay!

This is what happens when you lend your camera to a small child. For some reason finding it just made me smile. Thanks Boog!

Tech Support has taken the many small children out of the house. I think I will go sit and do nothing. Have a great weekend.
