Observations...

Each day we notice things that often go unnoticed, which is why I try to take notice of them.  Not for any deep philosophical reason, but just for the heck of it...maybe I'm bored...maybe it'll be something that will make sense later, I have no idea.  For instance....

...I see the same SUV with Virginia Government plates on my way to work every day, who is this person and where are they going?  I'd follow them, but I think that might be considered stalking

...when I drop off Royal at day care, there is on average about 3 really nice cars/suv/trucks with their engines running, doors unlocked, and empty....it's not that cold out.  I wouldn't steal a car, I'm just saying, I lock my doors when I'm not in the car, maybe it's a touch of California?

...the blue mac & cheese boxes don't open as easy as I remember them.  Does this mean they make the boxes stronger?  am i getting weaker?  or is it that the craving for the blue box isn't nearly as strong as it was when I was younger so I'm contributing less effort?

...I don't want to be political, but it's hard not to.  So this guy in AZ is clearly a little off his rocker, and decides to engage in a horrific event and take the lives of innocent people.  Why do people on the same day, within hours of the event start pointing fingers at who's to blame?  Is America that insecure?  Yes we know who pulled the trigger, but we don't know why, yet.  Should we rush to judgement and make a bunch of emotional decisions, or wait for more detail and be rational in our thinking and morn the loss we all just suffered.  Can a bunch of laws and regulations prevent this from happening again?  Probably not, all that would do is anger more people.  The big thing is this...we are all going to pass on eventually.  I pray that I'll be with my savior when that day comes, but there is no way to tell when that day is.  A high school buddy,  Justin McRoberts, is a singer/songwriter, wrote some lyrics that stick with with.  "The question isn't are you going to die, you're going to die.  But will you be done living when you do"  Life is a journey, enjoy the adventure....

...why do new socks rock so much?  Because they do!

I'll leave that last one for you to answer...
