August 25, 2014 Monday

Started the week with some weights.  I read an article over the weekend about people in their 60's should do more interval training.  Tomorrow I will read something else and do that.  But keep doing something!


Acts chapter 1 - Jesus taken up into heaven.  Like anyone else Jesus had a to do list.  Baptize the disciples with the Holy Spirit. Visit with enough people so they know I was raised from the dead.  Reassure the people that you will always be with them.  Remind them to share the good news of the Gospel.  Tell them to stay faithful and wait for my return.  Assure them I will be back.


On this day:
1985 - This time of year, back in the day, seems like we were always at Northport or Traverse City for a boat race.  This was the first one up there that I took the kids to.  Nicole was only 3 months old.  The cabin we stayed in was super rustic. We all survived.  I spent the night eyes wide open, listening to the scurrying of who knew what, in the cabin.  Aaron thought it was fine, an adventure for a 7 year old.
1998 - A survey released said that 1/3 of Americans use the Internet. Wonder what it is today?  16 years later.


Parenting - Another child shot in a drive by shooting today.  In keeping with protesting maybe all the children should go out in the streets with signs saying "hands up - don't shoot" .


Book club - Drums of Autumn by Diana Galbaldon.  Clair had gone off to a neighboring farm to deliver a baby and was lost in a rain storm and flooding rivers on the way home.  She is confronted with a strange being in the woods after finding a human skeleton head in a log she was hiding in.


Cairo Egypt - Last week here, what else can we find.

Wekalet El Ghouri is an architecturally stunning arts center in El Azhar area in Central Cairo, operating under the Ministry of Culture and the Cultural Development Fund (CDF).Since finalizing restorations to the Wekalet in October 2005, it has become a hot-spot for organizing cultural events. The most popular being the bi-weekly El Tannoura dance performance. The performance is similar to the more commonly known whirling dervishes; however this version of the indigenous dance incorporates instruments and other additional elements. « less WOW  always wondered what a whirling dervish was.

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
