I just got my copy of Canoe Songs Volume I and it is really cool they have samples of all the tracks on the web page. The CD benefits the Canadian Canoe Museum
Cool CD

come on people
Apparently nobody I work with reads my website, or they would have figured out that I'm having a baby.
Oh, BTW
This may be news to some, and old news to others.
I'm going to be a father. Arriving middle of October.
Savannah Trip
We are back from Savannah. It was good to see Dan and Betsy. I will put a longer trip report up soon.
Answering Phones
Tonight Bridgit and I answered phones at WEMU, our local NPR station. For those of you who listen to commercial radio: public radio stations twice a year ask for money and that's how they fund the station. The benifit: no commercials except for two weeks out of the year and great programming.
This was our first time volunteering and we had a great time. I plan on doing it again in the Fall. You get to hang out at the station and put faces with the voices you hear every day. So DONATE to your local NPR station.
Getting the boats ready
It looks like it's going to be another warm week. I am hoping to get the canoes prepped this week. Bridgit's Nighthawk suffered some damage a few weeks ago when a large doll house fell from its shelf in the barn. I am going to have to do some gel-coat repair. I don't think the glass was compromised, or else I will have to do a patch.
Maps
So I have always been a map nerd. On family trips I would always collect maps from everyplace we went. My minor was geography, and I took classes in Aerial-Photo Interpretation and Computer Mapping. Michigan is a great place, and I love that the DNR has tons of data online. Here are a couple of my favorites
Happy Valentines Day
Tonight my wife and I went out for Chineese food. Then we went to the Michigan Theater and watched Roman Holiday
Crazy Preacher on TV
So at this very moment my wife and I are watching this guy on TV. His name is Wesley Rowe from the Calvary Bible Church. Dr. Rowe was talking about communion. He talked about Transubstantiationism and Consubstantiationism and how they are wrong. We were cracking up because those are both made up words. Transubstantiation and Consubstantiation are real words and the rest of my rant assumes that he was refering to them not his made-up versions. He argued that Transubstantiation is wrong because it still looks/tastes like bread and wine. Even wikipedia knows what Transubstantiation is, that it still has the accidentals of bread and wine.
He also claimed that the Apostles didn't think that he meant that it was his blood and body because he was standing there holding the blood and wine. I'm not sure how that is an arguement, especially since the Apostles, after the death of Jesus, founded a church that beleives in Transubstantiation. I really liked that he used really bad translations of the bible, and never cited anything in the Bible that said that Jesus didn't mean it was actually him, so I will be able to defeat that (lack of) arguement with only one source:
“Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you” (John 6:53)
This was before the last supper. Some followers left because they thought it was weird. If he didn't mean it litteraly then he could have explained that it was a metaphor, but instead he let them go saying that this is a hard teaching.

Skiing?
So the plan for this weekend is to go up north to Nubs Nob and go skiing for the long weekend. The problem is that it has been pretty warm all week, and we aren't sure about the conditions. It looks like they have been making snow, and the weekend will have highs below freezing.
Heres hoping.
