June 14

The last couple days have been mostly watching the kids play soccer, but tonight was memorable. After a pretty warm day the boys and I came home and we have a really nice dinner as a family. After quickly cleaning up, I brought my guitar out on the deck and lit up one of my tobacco pipes. A cool breeze kicked up while Briar played on the swings with her friend and the boys invented a new game on the trampoline that did NOT end up in a fight.

It was a beautiful evening where everyone was laughing and playing. I got to take it all in while getting my fingertips back in shape a little bit and burning up some fine tobacco.

Got to do some stuff around the house. Bought and put out the flowers for the summer. Sat in the yard and read Blue Like Jazz. Took the boys to soccer.. ya know that usual. It was nice to run some errands with Alissa and just talk about whatever. I guess you could say we got to CONNECT!

Book Review - Blue Like Jazz

I liked the book for the most part. I sort of thought there'd be more speaking from a skeptic's point of view. But a critic of the Christian culture is an important endeavor as well. I thought there were a lot of different assumptions that were made concerning various points of view, and so there were some jumps that a reader such as myself had to make. Seeing as how the book was written in the early 2000's that does make sense. I like his bend toward social justice and he also seems well traveled into the realm of secular thinkers and communicators. It does us a disservice as communicators in this century to be in our faith bubble and think that that's how people should think. It was a little tough reading all his stuff about being single and wondering about marriage and girlfriends ugh.. I know it was his journey but I have a bias, I think, about guys that aren't married. I just think of them as kids. There's an emotional muscle that marriage works that ...

First day of no school for the kids. They seemed to enjoy it. I ran errands this morning and the weather was incredible. I finished out the rest of the flowers out front. Briar ran errands with me. At one point, driving by Walmart, she says "Why does Walmart have a Subway?" I was like "I have no idea." She ended the conversation with "I don't know why they'd do that when we have one right here." Great observation for a 5 yr old. Cleaned the bathrooms and then went on an hour and half workout. Chasing the frisbee is something I can only really do in the summer. It was fantastic. In the evening I picked up the guitar for a bit to keep the finger strength up.
