random thoughts

Howdy.  I hope that everyone had a great weekend.  Here's what is in my head this fine Monday morning:

- I assume that you watched the Super Bowl, and what I want to know is, how old do you have to be before you can say, "Hey wow, it's Tom Petty!"?  Seriously.  Are they going to cart out Pearl Jam 20 years from now?  Please can we have someone under the age of 60 programming these things?

- There were birds chirping this morning, and it sounded like Spring.  I am so ready for Spring.

- My X-Box 360 broke.  This is the third one that has died on me.  I blame defective hardware, but some suspect that it is used too excessively.

- It wasn't on my mind before, but I realize I just used the phrase "too excessively".  Is that possible?  Can something be too excessive?  Wouldn't that imply that there is an appropriate amount of excessiveness?  Can you be just excessive enough?

- This is what I do when I don't want to answer my emails.

- I started preaching a new series in Kids Church.  It's called "Freak Show".  It's all about the stories in the Bible that are shocking or unbelievable.  I want to teach the kids that God can do things that we think are impossible, and that he uses ordinary people like us.

- Pitchers and Catchers will soon be reporting to Spring Training.  I love football season, but I'll always be a baseball fan first.  I can't wait.  Go Tigers!

I hope you have a great week.  See you Sunday.
