Today we re-booked our Vietnam trip for a couple hundred dollars more and on a lesser airline (United is no Korean Air from what I hear). But this didn’t happen without incident . . .
As we were booking our flight with a much more reputable and professional travel agency in one of the nicest parts of the DFW Metroplex the power went out. But what was weird is that not all the power went out, only about a quarter of the building, and it just happened to be the area of the building our travel agent was placed.
Since she couldn’t check availability on a PC without power, she resorted to using the telephone. However, during the middle of the conversation the phone went dead.
Don’t be surprised if the Geedings show up in an episode of Lost.
The trip goes as follows:
Fri March 09: DFW to San Fran – 3 hours 49 minutes
Sat March 10: San Fran to Hong Kong to Saigon – 19 hours 21 minutes
And going home . . .
Fri March 16: Saigon to Hong Kong to San Fran – 17 hours 28 minutes
San Fran to DFW – 3 hours 27 minutes
All U.S. travel will be on an Airbus, and all overseas travel will be on a Boeing 747 400. I thought it would have been the other way around.
I’m really going to miss DogGeeding.

Who is Tony Campolo?
EDMONTON – Tony Campolo is a very busy man. A Baptist minister and bestselling author, Campolo makes more than 300 personal appearances a year. Christianity Today calls the 71-year-old American one of the most influential preachers of the last 50 years.Â
Campolo and some others prefer to call themselves “red-letter Christians,” meaning people who try to live by the words of Jesus (often printed in red in Bibles).
What about the Religious Right:
The religious right has created the image that evangelism is by defintion anti-gay, anti women, anti-environment, pro-war, pro-captial punishment. So the minute I walk onto a university campus and announce myself as an evangelical, the red flags go up. So a group of us here in the United States who are fairly prominent on the speaking circuit … got together and said: ‘We are evangelical in our theology, but we do not want to be categorized as evangelicals because of the connotations that go with that.’
(Red-letter Christians) believe in the doctrine of the Apostles Creed; we believe that the Bible was inspired by the spirit of God in such a way as to keep the authors from making errors; we believe that Jesus is God incarnate and living among us today, having resurrected from the grave. These are the three things that incorporate evangelism ….
There is a group of us who hold to those beliefs, but we do not want to be wedded to a reactionary politics that does not communicate the kind of call for compassionate justice.

Going on a vacation?
The McDonald’s Trip Planner can help you locate all the McDonald’s along the way.
For instance, it tell me that there are 10 McDonald’s on the way to visit the InLawsGeeding – I would have thunk there would have been more. Here’s the breakdown of them:
Special – 2
Mall – 2
Freestanding – 6
Here are some pictures of one of the ‘Special’ McDonald’s that we pass along the way.

In this armchair test of your survival skills, we’re going to get you lost, we’re going to keep you lost, and as you struggle back to safety we’re going to throw a few roadblocks in your path — a rattlesnake, say, or maybe a grizzly. It’s fun and games, sure, but anyone who has watched the news lately knows that getting lost or stranded in wilderness can have tragic results. This may be the trail of the unluckiest hunter the world has known, but survival, in real life, has very little to do with luck.
Take the 18 question quiz here.

In case you didn’t already know, it was a parody.
In any case, it looks Rev. Donnie’s video is a hoax starring one of Dallas’ own, at least according to The New York Blade. Donnie Davies is actually Joey Oglesby, part of a comedy duo called Chicken and Pickle guys, creators of “dumb comedy for smart people†— or maybe pop songs for homophobic religious people.

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Immigrants wishing to live in the small Canadian town of Herouxville, Quebec, must not stone women to death in public, burn them alive or throw acid on them, according to an extraordinary set of rules released by the local council.
The declaration, published on the town’s Web site, has deepened tensions in the predominantly French-speaking province over how tolerant Quebecers should be toward the customs and traditions of immigrants.
“We wish to inform these new arrivals that the way of life which they abandoned when they left their countries of origin cannot be recreated here,” said the declaration, which makes clear women are allowed to drive, vote, dance, write checks, dress how they want, work and own property.

Inspired by the TV game show, our Win, Lose or Draw game is the perfect party game for kids and adults alike. It uses the latest video technology, enabling the game’s electronic drawing pad (uses three AA batteries, not included) to plug right into your TV for quick set up.
The LDC screen on the drawing pad gives you a word or phrase (one of 1500 drawing clues in three difficulty levels) and the clock starts ticking down the 60 seconds you have to draw. As you draw on the pad, your image appears instantly on the TV screen!Â

When I was a kid I use to listen for my dad’s car to drive up as he came home from work. I would immediately stop whatever I was doing and great him and carry his breifcase inside because I liked helping dad.
This picture of John Travolta’s house made me think of that memory, I’m sure the kids won’t have any trouble hearing dad pull up in his jet.

NEW YORK — Like two Cold War adversaries, Chana and Simon Taub are separated by a wall — one built straight down the middle of their home to keep the bickering spouses apart.
Neither one wanted to move out of their beloved Brooklyn house, and so, in one of the strangest divorce battles the city has seen, a white drywall partition was erected a few weeks ago on orders from a judge.

So I got on his computer and there’s a picture of him and me from last year. He then tells me to press F12 like a true Computer science major, and up pops a picture of the ring he’d bought for me, and a little proposal (you can see below). He then got on his knees and confessed his true love for me. After some convincing, I said yes
