Ok, I try to use this to update what's going on in my world, but I seem I rarely do. I don't want to use this for a soap box, but it is near election time... lol. I just have this one video to post, because it's got Frankie Sinatra's catchy tune to new lyrics. So that means.. funny! But, neat. Cheesy some would say... here it is... to the tune or "New York":
So, I type this from the 6th floor of the Holiday Inn in Rapid City. We graciously received a getaway to a retreat (a few blocks from home). Family Life's "Weekend to Remember" for married couples. Talked of the "Five Threats to Oneness", "God's Purposes for Oneness", "God's Plan for Oneness", ""God's Power for Oneness", "Understanding Communication", and "Communication in Sexual Intimacy". It's been a great and informative weekend. One more day and then we head back home. Had a great date night this evening. Went out to eat, went to the Pool, Hot Tub, & Sauna. Very nice glass elevator (almost overcame my fear of heights )
I start working at Wells Fargo bank this week. A very nice and welcome change of occupation. A tie every day!
