Amazing nature- unclassified cloud formations

This summer has been a season of amazing encounters. I've held a wild bird, and routinely got inches from others. I've enjoyed picking wild berries, walked in the light of foggy, sunlit mornings, and have been enchanted by the glory of the created world.

I just found the most amazing pictures of new cloud formations from the UK that are undergoing classification. (article here) They look "made up" in Photoshop, or sci-fi, but in Europe, and New Zealand, these formations have been spotted. Recently, in New York City (union square park area), quite odd formations at dusk, looked like lava light blobs. (weird article here)

Bad Hair Day?

We've all been there with having bad hair days, right?
We are like a bad haircut, we get better with growth.
Just when you think you've arrived, take a closer look in the mirror, and you'll see there is still a lot of room for growth. You might think you're doing fine, but to someone else, it might seem like things in you just haven't finished off quite yet. We are never done growing, learning, and improving.

Be open to honest criticism, and be wise. Then fewer bad hair days will be in your future!

What have you improved on in the last few years?

Soccer fingers / rainy day fun, or office high jinks

I drew these on my kids and they played nice for almost an hour. We had a bunch of laughs. A crumpled ball of paper is a fine soccer ball, and bent out paperclips taped on each finger can make the frame for shoes. I saw this on the HP site called fingerskilz.

I'm making it big...Blue and Jazzy with author Donald Miller

As some of you know, the long awaited new book from NYT best selling author, Donald Miller is coming out soon. But what many don't realize is that I'll be given credit as a co-author--this time. Last time, with Blue Like Jazz, I wasn't so lucky. But all is forgiven. (See my public discussion with Don about this topic here: http://bit.ly/tIcmj )This is a big moment for me. I hope you get a chance to check out this great book we've come up with.Follow this link to read the news story on our current joint venture. http://bit.ly/ncENi

K-fun... My review of Knoble Amusement Park

Knobles is old fashioned. They don't do much in the way of banners, or digital printing around the park. They still do hand painted signs for just about everything. They have some moderate thrill rides, but nothing that will make you wet your pants. There's a yesteryear atmosphere there, with huge trees overhead creating shade, and ride attendants taking paper tickets. Many rides are acquired from theme parks who want to give up the old favorites to make room to build the latest steel speed coasters. I love the smooth steel coasters, that shoot me out, and don't jostle me on wooden track until I get a nasty headache, but there's something so charming about a park with all the old rides from another simpler, more carefree time. The carmel corn, soft serve, and french fries can't be beat, and the free parking, pavilions and picnic tables aplenty, no entry fee, and loads of kiddie rides make it a great choice for families with children.
