Technology and animals

We have all seen animals respond curiously to different technology, like a vacuum, but what happens with a real dog meets a fake dog? Enjoy

It's a Bus, it's a Train...it's a Brain?

Wired has a post up about a new dual-mode vehicle. Give it a read and then you can watch the video...kinda cool.

This should be good news to most people

You know DEET, well it has some nasty stuff in it and I generally don't like to use it, but I will when I must. Well here is some good news, hopefully something better...and soon!

Busy day & woe...

Well it was a busy one today with a trip to the Court of Appeals, then the Archdiocesan Finance Office, then to a clergy meeting at the Cathedral then back here for Mass and work I should have gotten done in between all the other stuff...oh well. I hope you day has not been as hectic. I have spoken to a few people and heard a bunch of heart ache and woe this week, so give this Josh Groban song a listen and know you are loved! Peace

Cats get a shearing

This is Ruth and her lovely assistant Lorren. On Monday Ruth gave the cats their annual shearing, I think Lorren mostly just watched. When Lorren was about to be born Ruth and Jim (side note...keep Jim in your prayers, after chemo and other treatments looks like they might have found a spot it could be something it could be nothing, so he is going for a scan, but as you can imagine this time is a bit tense, so a few prayers I am sure would be appreciated by Jim and Ruth) came to find out about Baptism and we got on the topic of cats and getting their fur trimmed back and wouldn't you know Ruth said she could do it...SWEET! Well that was a few years ago and each year about this time, Lilly and Ooti get a summer haircut. Well the whole process works like this. I get up early and give the cats a sedative, for Ruth and their protection. It takes affect pretty quickly and the cats slow down considerably. Then Ruth stops by to pick up the cats and about an hour later they are done. The picts you can find below...

Well since I now have this blog I knew I should get some photos and since it was just too cute to see the cats going about their so slowly and clumsily I also took some video. Enjoy

Sad News

Last night my brother-in-law Joe lost his father Charles Foust. Joe, and my nephew Greg, went to Miami to see his mom and be with his family for the day. I should have more info later, so for now if you would keep him in your prayers. Thanks

Don't watch this...

...it made Rosie cry!



enjoy?

This is comming to the US on FOX

I want to be on this game show, looks like a bunch of fun.

Ordination

Well as I mentioned the past two weeks at Mass, tomorrow morning will be the ordination of a number of seminarians as Transitional Deacon's for the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Two of our former seminarians Salomon Garcia and Ignacio "Nacho" Morales will be part of that ordination class. I have just heard from Ignacio and he says he has a few extra tickets. If you are interested in attending the ordination in the morning, drop me a line and I can get you a ticket of two. This will be quite a wonderful experience if you have not been to an ordination. Sorry for the late notice. Also I would ask for your continued prayers for the men being ordained tomorrow and the men who will be ordained Priests next Saturday. Peace

I wish we had one of these when I was a kid

My family had a table that we could expand by putting in two leaves. As we got older and added more "out-laws" to the table we need a bit more space, which of course meant more work. Every time we had a big family dinner, we had to put the whole thing together, having this table below would have been a gift from the Almighty.

Sekai No Nabeatsu

I cannot wait to catch some Japanese TV, from what I have seen, it looks just kooky enough for me. Now this guy...this guy is a nut. He is kind of funny, then fades quickly, so enjoy it while you can. Watch out for those 3's!

Rube Goldberg

I am sure you have seen a Rube Goldberg contraption at some point in your life. Well here is a great video of a nice Rube Goldberg type machine. This is fun. Enjoy

Creativity, oh yes!

These kids really put some thought into winning this wheelbarrow race, what a great plan. Enjoy

26 years ago

(Greg, Michael, Alan, Katie, Karen & Joe)

Happy 26th Anniversary to my oldest sister Karen and her husband Joe. May 22, 1982.

Here is a recap of SNL that night. The History Channel has some items up about today as well.

Catholic youtube

I stumbled across this video the other day. Kind of a Catholic and McD's mashup. Enjoy

Need a good cry?

I grew up in a family that easily expressed its emotions. I have never had too much trouble crying and sometimes it just feels like a I need a good cry. Seems as if I have been there for a few days now. Well I found this video and I think I am well on my way to get my crying out of my system for a while. If you need a good cry, or just want to see a beautiful story of parental love then check this video out. Be forewarned you will cry. Peace

Blades of...

I was on I-285 today and saw some wind turbine blades on their way somewhere. I was amazed how huge they were. I came home and found this video, it should give you some idea of how big those things are.

Then I found a video of a wind turbine being put together. This is kinda cool. Enjoy.
