I fear that I'm lost...

Wow!
I think I've lost the touch. I feel that I am in a creative wasteland. I just don't have any more stories or pictures in me. Lately, I just have not been able to get any good photos. Nothing. These stupid pictures are all I've got to offer.
Sad, I know...
So, I will be taking the next several weeks off.
What!
Yes, I feel that this is the best approach. You can still hear me on my radio show, and I will be checking my comments. I just think I need to devote more time to my upcoming trip and less time to the 'puter. Never Fear though! I will be back in October.

That would be the cosmic smackdown, Grasshopper.

So there I was, Thinkin' I was all that and a bag o' chips. I was so proud of myself! The boss gave me this fairly complicated relay control box to wire up. Crazy stuff, time delay relay, latching circuits, even a laser! Oh yeah, I was da' shizzle! I got it all right on my first try! So, as you can guess, my head began to swell. Never a good sign.
That was last Monday, enter the weekend....
Routine side job. wire up garage door opener, simple, 3 wires, hot, nuetral, ground, easy, right? Oh, not so. Well let me just say, when the smoke cleared and the screaming stoped, I found I had put 2 wires in the wrong spots. Yes, that's bad.
So needless to say, this week has been a great lesson in humilty.
Oh, by the way, I finally finished reading the Killing Angels.
WOW! Great book! It realy puts you in the field of battle with it's detail and believability. I know it's a true story, but they way the characters come alive (warts and all) is just realy profound. I grew up around the Army, war and military life, but this book told a story about war in a way I'd never heard before. I highly recomend this book. I am know reading about the crusades, (odd stuff indeed) and will have another review for you later.
NEW SHOW TONIGHT!!!

HEY! GO TO MY RADIO SHOW NOW!!!
WE GO ON THE AIR @ 9:00 PM ET
Here I am fasting real slow




So, Why do the call it fasting when it takes so long!!!
I realize that to go for 30 hours without food would be no big deal for most of the world, but for me it's big doins'. I was waiting for the sky to part, angels to descend, a blinding light, God to present me with a burning scroll, and then to pass out in a cold sweat and to awaken the next day with a complete understanding of life....Yeah so, that's not quite what happened.
I just got real hungry.
No, there was some goodness there.
I did spend quite a bit of time praying and reading scripture. Not to mention I now have a better understanding of people who are starving. Now add that to the malaria, well shoot, I fell down-right African.
Let's see, what else,
Oh, my son.
Yeah so #2 son gave me a start.
"Dad, 'You want to hear the chink-a-monks?"
"WHAT!"
"The Chink-a-Monks Dad!"
"Uuuuuuhhhhh dahhhh...?"
"Yeah, Albin, Dimon, and Deodore!"
"Oh, right! the Chipmunks!"
"Yup, I said that daddy!"
"Right, my bad"
Dang, I gotta stop listening to NPR.
