Along The Way (25/Apr/2006)
Today... Shari's birthday. Happy Birthday sweetheart! It's her birthday but I get a gift: a chance to take the girl of my dreams out for supper.
Coke Blak... I tried the new 'carbonated Fusion Beverage' this morning that looks to be a mixture of Coke and Coffee. I enjoyed it. I'm not sure, however, if I would become a regular consumer - the jury is still out. My initial thought was that while I like both Coke and Coffee, when I want a cup of coffee I'd opt for the real thing and when I have a taste for a Coke I'd reach for the Real Thing. It's hard for me to imagine choosing that combination. I'll give them a few more tries to see if it grows on me. Oh, go ahead and try one yourself. At least it's not a Pepsi!
Awaiting Rejection... Well, I've finally done it. After years of joking around (and much encouragement from friends), I've finally composed a query package for publishers on my Big Buts of the Bible book idea. Now, everything I read tells me to prepare for a wave of rejection letters, but not to let that get me down. Great! So, I'm psyching myself up. It will be awesome to receive lots of letters saying 'we think your idea is terrible'. I can't wait! You can help. When you see me the next few weeks just place your fingers in the shape of an 'L' on your forehead and mumble 'Loser' as you walk past. I'll keep my chin up. Those publishers don't know what a gold mine this is.
100 Hours... We're less than 100 hours away from the NFL draft (that little fix in the middle of the offseason for football junkies like me). Yes, the Guru will weigh in with a draft preview on Friday and tell you who your team should pick, and who teams should avoid.

Happy Birthday Shari!!! and awww... that was really sweet pastor darin :-)
i didn't know they came out with a new type of coke. coke and coffee, i think i'd pass on that.
As far as you sending in your book idea im so proud of you! I've always wondered when you were gonna do that and i'm glad your doing it. I hate taking risks so I think it's awesome that you are doing this. And I just thought i'd let you know, that no matter what those publishers think I would buy that book in an instant (not that that matters much, but thats okay :-)
Football- ohh boy! This is the time of the year when I start hearing lots of people's names, and stats that i don't have a clue about, but i'll try to keep up :-)
