If you are looking for a fun read to break up the drudgery of winter, pick this up at your local library.  I stumbled across it last week and it has kept us smiling ever since.  Filled with the multitude of "awesome" things in life (such as hitting a bunch of green lights in a row, fixing electronics by smacking them, the five second rule, and when you push the elevator and it's already there) it may just encourage you to recognize the "awesome" things in your own life (such as making exactly the right amount of pancake batter).

You'll be amazed how many of these things you have thought were awesome in your own life.  And the author throws in quite a bit of humor in his writing too, so it never gets too sappy.

So, if you're having one of those days (or weeks, months, years...) where nothing ever seems to go right, pick it up and remind yourself of all the little things that are "awesome".

I'm Ba-ack!

Remember that line?  From the scariest movie I ever saw as a child.  Nightmares for weeks.  Poltergeist....



Anyhoo...

Here I am, alive and kickin' in High Prairie.  My communications have been down, but we have finally got the net installed and I plan on blogging up a storm to bring everything up to date.  Of course, right now I'm competing for computer time with 5 other internet deprived people, so I'll do what I can.  Amazing how much this really is a part of our lives, especially living far away.

So here's a shout out to all of my patient friends and family.  Miss you all, but life is good in the great white north!
