- Getting old means injuring yourself in the weirdest of ways. I’ve sprained my neck drying my hair, dealt with back pain for about a week after bending over to show DaughterGeeding a photo I just taken of her, and woke up with a sprained ankle. On friday I sprained my achilles tendon just walking down the stairs.
- I noticed the Nebraska Furniture Mart had a quite of bit of cars on Sunday. I was curious if it was some kind of soft opening or massive employee training, it was a bit of both.

- One of my close friends is a pastor and he’s been updating his website during his visit to Israel. I was quite moved by this post since he was preaching on Mark 4 where the event actually happened. For a preacher, that has to be a very special moment.

- It was surprising to hear about Terry Dorsey’s death, especially since he recently retired from the radio waves. But man, he sure did survive a lot – “In addition to the blockage in his carotid artery,” which had been causing him to black out, “he had a heart attack 23 years ago when he was 45 years old, prostate cancer 15 years ago, a small stroke five years ago, and esophageal cancer.”

It’s like a telescope type DVR
It’s “Groundhog Day” in the cosmos.
In the 1993 Bill Murray movie, a weatherman finds himself reliving the same day over and over again. Now astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope say they have been watching the same star blow itself to smithereens in a supernova explosion over and over again, thanks to a trick of Einsteinian optics.
A ten-year-old boy has been hailed as a hero after clinging onto a moving SUV to rescue his sister from a convicted sex offender.
In Ireland . . .
The criminal, who was on bail for robbery, attempted to abduct the girl (12) on the side of a country road near the village of Cullahill in Laois.
She was playing with her two brothers near their home when the man stopped and asked for directions to the local priest’s house.
He then jumped from the stolen vehicle and grabbed the girl.
But her younger brother lunged through the driver’s window at the would-be kidnapper punching him as the jeep began to drive away.
The brave boy distracted the driver long enough so that his sister could jump from the moving vehicle.
