To Hide the Cycling Post
1. Grab the book nearest you. Turn to page 18. Find line 4. Write down what it says. "What follows is, to the best of my ability, what I've been able to uncover regarding Evolution and Natural Selection." A surprisingly mundane result considering it's from The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first? My spouse.
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV? Just switched from the local news to the KU-Toledo game; still watching.
4. Without looking, what time is it? 10:30 p.m.
5. Now look at the clock, what is the actual time? 10:33 p.m.
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? The TV. Side conversation with wife and her typing at the desktop computer (she's moved since I reached out).
7. When did you last step outside? Coming back from dinner half an hour ago.
8. What are you wearing? Shorts (not bicycle).
9. When did you last laugh? At dinner.
10. Seen anything weird lately? The dogs on the floor in front of me seems wierd at this point, but in a good way.
11. What did you dream last night? I never remember my dreams.
12. What's on the walls of the room you're in? Pictures of us, purchased art, a clock, yellow paint, dust, a thermostat, light switches, outlets, light and shadows.
13. What do you think of this survey? Asks unusual questions; better than the usual "lazy post."
14. What is the last film you saw? The Illusionist.
15. If you became a mulit-millionare overnight, what would you buy first? Pay off our debts.
16. Tell me something about you that I don't know. Is there anything left now that you know about the Chamois Butt'r? I don't think I've mentioned on this blog that I've been to seminary.
17. If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? Injustice.
18. Do you like to dance? Only in the rare right mood and when no one can see me. Even then I'm not sure it would qualify as dancing.
19. Imagine that your first child is a girl, what do you call her? It's been a while since we've talked about it, but the plan is Shade. It's what her name means in her language.
20. Boy? We'd talked about Port. In her culture names are one syllable and are words that mean something (e.g. boy, pan, money).
21. Would you ever consider living abroad? Would love to. Was seriously considering the Peace Corps after college until I got hitched.

How was "The Illusionist?" Edward Norton could be one of the worlds greatest actors but that movie didn't look all that good. Weird choice for a come back film.
Yes, I'd also like to know how the movie was. And I'll agree with Gobula about Mr. Norton.
You went to seminary? Like, to be a priest? I'm sure there's a semen joke in there, but I'll save that for the next commenter.
Oh, no. That's too much pressure. But okay, here goes.
"he he, you said semen-ary, he he"
Yes, I am Butthead.
Saint Paul School of Theology, a Methodist semen-place, while I was with the Presbyterian Church. 90 graduate hours, both academically demanding and very praxis-oriented, of training to be a pastor. Just couldn't see myself in that role even though I finished the Master of Divinity and am still paying for it (literally).
The Illusionist is good for what it is. Not too deep, not a great character study, but an entertaining film. I recommend seeing it, especially if you like Edward Norton.
