Pippi will always come out on top!!!

What a fun day today was! I went hiking at Sugar Creek Metro Park, near Bellbrook, OH. It's a nice place to hike, a little more busier than Grant Park, which is probably my favorite, but long trails, and I even saw a deer today. My faithful Chihuahua, Zelda came along and scared off any coyotes. Actually, I did hear a few coyote's howling off in the distance. That's when I turned around and took another trail. It got me thinking about the small inconveniences we face in our daily life. Maybe if you're running late to something, or you can't make it to somewhere because you're ill. How many of those could've been times when you were saved from something that could've resulted in a major accident or some large unfortunate event. Yeah, I've probably watched way too many M. Night Shymalan movies, but it does make you wonder. We must've hiked at least 3-4 miles today, and it was beautiful!

If you saw my tweet earlier about getting rude customer service in Friendly's I must say it's not true. That was just an attempt at a joke. (Yeah, cause their name is Friendly's?!? Yeah...) I think some people took it serious. If you haven't figured it out by now, the majority of my tweets and facebook statuses are just me trying out new material to see what kind of a response it will get. Of course, even the most unfunny thing you read, could get the biggest laugh depending on how it's delivered live. However, I enjoy trying to pull off the joke in written form none the less...

I got a few movies today in the mail from Amazon.com. Never Cry Wolf, which is a classic Disney movie they made us watch way back when in science class at school. It's about this guy who goes up to Alaska to find out why the caribou are dying off, which is blamed on the wolves. Interesting flick, not very action-packed, but still enjoyable. I also got Something Wicked This Way Comes. We had to watch that in school a few times. Ray Bradbury story, that was good, especially with the underrated acting of Jonathan Pryce, who played Mr. Dark, and the late great actor Jason Robards. Also got the recent Adam Sandler flick involving stand-up comedy, Funny People. Not sure how appropriate it will be, but wanted to give it a chance. Finally, I got the New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking, because Pippi will always come out on top!!!

In "dieting", for lack of a better term, been doing good. I enjoyed some non-fat plain yogurt from Trader Joe's today. I learned a neat trick for flavoring it way back when. Add any flavor of Sugar-Free Jello mix to it, and it's instant flavor! More as it comes... Thank you guys for the opportunity to share my life with you! Thank you for your encouragement!

Forever In Christ,
