i can read
I got a book out of the library- must be 3 weeks ago because it’s nearly overdue and therefore it’s time to open it. It called to me on the shelf. It has Tinkertoys on the cover and the mighty engaging title of Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast. Yep, I like to do 6 impossible things before breakfast, but not before coffee, let’s be clear on that. Obviously, if I can do them they are not impossible. Don’t cloud my thinking with your reality, thank you very much. Anyhow, I read the introduction, something I don’t usually do, because I’m pretty sure I can figure out what a book is about by reading it. Anyhow, as I was reading this intro, I had a couple points where I felt the need to scratch my head. The author called himself an “atheist reductionist materialist”, he doesn’t believe in anything, and explained that he will explain “evolutionary biology” with “Just So” stories. I’m intrigued. Because he sounds crazy loco to me.
In other news, over there is that.

Also, Spawn got back yesterday from a beach trip with her church youth group. I just had the most fantastic opportunity to use my joke about her finding Jesus on the beach. Even her friend laughed hysterically.

Sometimes crazy people tell the best stories. Of course, I might be biased.
For some reason I am not following you on wordpress. I suppose I should remedy that now.
i kinda count making the coffee as at least 5 impossible things right off.
@longshadow618 - not falling off the chair before drinking it counts as the 6th.
@leaflesstree - what the heck. i’m fond of crazy. and that just satisfies all the comments that need to be made, right? insert cheesy grin.
That sounds like a very odd combination of ingredients. I can’t read anything before breakfast.
hurrah for the return of spawn! did she geo-cache Jesus?
@distractedbyzombies - ok. the book is good. and no, she didn’t geo-cache him. but LLO might go to geo-cache camp. isn’t that a hoot?
@promisesunshine - It might be. I’m sure it will be. It certainly must be. It is.
Ha! What if a person doesn’t eat breakfast!?
That author, and other crazies, make life more fun! Oh..and they make me feel less weird…at least a teenytinylittlebit less weird!
Glad Spawn got back home safely! Hope she had fun with Jesus on the beach!
It’s fun to make your kids friends laugh! Even funner to see the expressions on your kids faces when their friends laugh! Eh?!
HUGS!!!
@adamswomanback - turns out the author is british. explains everything,doesn’t it?
