blogbot - RSS/ATOM Aggregator

I have been using a Google homepage for quite awhile now.  Google allows you to add blogs that you read often to your home page.  I have been doing this, but always wanted (being the lazy bum that I am) to have them automatically downloaded to my MS Outlook.  I finally checked into some and have been trying blogbot.  It has been around awhile and it is open source so I feel confident that it does not contain anything malicious.  It does not seem to be slowing things down and I like that I can even be notified (via the little message bubbles) that new posts have been posted. 
 
If anyone knows of a better aggregator for Outlook let me know.

Soccer Saturday!!

The church I attend plays soccer every other Saturday. I am not an avid soccer player, but I would like to get some more excercise and spend time with my friends from church.

Well, work has prohibited me thus far. It has been a busy season, and although I still have much work to do, I feel that I can actually do something that I would enjoy.

So I will, in about an hour or two, be in an emergency room. That is right, I am quite sure that after just five minutes of running I will be exhausted and will need to be taken off the field and taken by ambulance to the nearest ER.

Better go... break a leg.

3 more

I only have three more schools that I need to do kick off assemblies for. I still have plenty to do... but I can see the light!!

Below is a picture I scanned in that the principal gave me soon after my performance. I was explaining to the student that he only needed to sell 20 items to be able to go on a limousine lunch ride to Chuck E. Cheese. I had over 90 student s go from this school alone.

Carson is FOUR!!!!

My son turned four today. He (and the others) bring me such joy. I love to see him smile and come close to me knowing he wants a hug.


Here is a picture of him this past summer while spending time with his extended family in Maryland. He loves cars and was playing a racing game on a hand-held PSP (I think that is what it is called). He is learning to read and doing a great job - much thanks to his wonderful mom and helpful sister. Kayla often reads to him.

Tired of being Sick and Tired

I have had only 4 hours sleep each of the past 3 nights. You'd think I was back in the Army.

My Laptop crashed on Friday and I have not had much time to get it back up and going until last night and today was plenty of work and catch up (or Ketchup as my wife would say).

I think the lack of good rest has caused me to get sick... so I am sick and tired. I think my wife is getting sick too. AAAUUGHHHHH!

I had a good mini chat with April tonight. I love her... I need to show it more.

I haven't been reading my Bible, and my prayer life has been stinky.

I love my kids. They may go with me tomorrow to the places I need to go to.

I need to go... and spend time with my wonderful wife. Pray for her as she comes to mind. It is hard to be a mom of three and deal with me.... hey that rhymes!

Goodnight.
