I have started to read. Wait, let me say it differently, since last April, when I got my ipad, I have stated to read. I used to go into bookstores all the time and buy books, but would never read them. Now on my ipad, I can have 10,20,50 books with me at a time.
I stopped into Books-a-Million since I heard they had good coffee (Yelp)
I grabbed a cup of their Joe Muggs, pulled up a chair and got out my ipad. Nice hot coffee with good flavor, quiet reading spot with semi hard chairs. Staff was very friendly and helpful when I got up to look for an "old fashion book" the paper one!
My wife likes books, so we will definitely be back.

Same day, now finishing another cup out at Scooters. I don't really like their coffee, but the free wifi, and nice people watching makes the day go by...

My first year back as a director, and we finally get our first snow day.  I guess last year they had one in October, we are now at January 10, and are here with 2 kids.

Well for the first time in many, many years, I did not have any fireworks on New Year's Eve.  There was one year I flew out of Hawaii, and back to Omaha, but watched some fireworks from the plane, and another year, my mom was with me and we had champagne at Mark and Pam's house.  This year was my first year having Christmas away from Hawaii, and ringing in the new year with some red wine and watching TV, instead of being outside blowing stuff up, and "chasing away the bad luck..."
Purpose:  This is my word for 2011. I listen to KLOVE the radio station, and they challenged their listeners to choose a word they can live by in 2011.
I pray that I can find purpose, for the financial hardship, for my house in Hawaii not selling, and the reason why the Lord led us to Omaha, away from our family and friends.
