Random Gutchecks

Inspiration: Twitter. Mood: guilt. Reason: longing to connect with a new post. Situation: should be in bed, sleeping.

***
My friend Josh went to see Prince Caspian tonight. Not saying I'm envious or anything, but...

***
I started writing a book on Caspian over a year ago. I got as far as one chapter, ran it past two of my literary Ph.D. friends, then put it down and never got back to it...

***
I want to actually complete and publish a book one day. It may take more than a day.

***
I dropped my brand new Katana II cell phone into shark laden waters in Terra Ceia Bay a week and a half ago. It was a camelback breakingstraw. I've been fighting mild depression since then (nothing worrisome, just a slight valley). I jumped in, but couldn't save it.

***
We caught two small sharks in the same spot the next evening. I think mamas were giving birth nearby.

***
Ministry challenges, tragedies, some regrets, daily living have been heavy.

***
My father-in-law's baseball team, the MCC Lancers, finished "Runner up" in the state JUCO baseball tournament. Great job. We all wanted to see them go to Grand Junction for the World Series.

***
I've started two posts within the last 10 days. Couldn't finish either one.

***
Did I mention: My friend Josh went to see Caspian?

***
I wonder if Vicki Beeching has been to see Caspian yet. She speaks the language and all...

***
Dave is still boycotting his blog.

***
Carmen's posts have been really thoughtful and funny. Carmen is regularly tweeting.

***
I'm co-teaching a "Christian Thinking" class at church, starting next week. We revised it after the first time we taught it. Should be better.

***
MCC asked me to teach philosophy and ethics courses. No time. Bummed.

***
Josh is probably finishing Caspian right now. Wonder if he'll tweet about it?

***
Twitter rocks. Wish I had a cell phone.

***
Vicki Beeching was the first person I know to start with Twitter.

***
I should go back now and put links and labels on this post.
