Be Careful What You Pray For

The right-wing group, Focus on the Family, thought it would be good if they could pray for rain during the Barack Obama acceptance speech in the outdoor venue in Denver. If you believe in a G-d who would listen and deliver on the "wrong-leaning" politically, then you have to wonder why the Republican Convention is being threatened with postponement and/or toning down by hurricane Gustaf. Hmmm. Define "irony".

House For Sale

 

DSC06357
Ok, we're into this now. We signed the papers yesterday with our realtor to put our house on the market as of 9/2/08, next Tuesday.  It only leaves us 3 more days to get the house ready because we are heading out on Sunday for about a week in the RV. We have a dumpster to help us clear out the garage and basement and another load of stuff in the RV to drop off at storage in MA.  This will be the first trip taking the kayaks on the car in tow, and also our bikes.  We will spend a few days on Cape Cod and then up to Boston and on to Vermont after that. I can't wait.

Brian's Northern Exposure

Brian has been in Alaska this week with his girl friend, Katherine. I love that they have taken and posted lots of pictures of their adventures. I am tempted to go there myself, to see if the scenery lives up to the pictures.
