5th Floor View

---

As I was taking the elevator to the 6th floor at the Tower of David Apartment to visit my mom, an elderly lady had to hop on from the 5th floor. Before I left, I stopped the elevator on the 5th floor because the view had to be captured on my Sprint Cam. What's the theme? Butterflies, Gargoyles and Mother Mary? This floor needs a visit from Trading Spaces.

Ready or Not... Evan and Jaron finally have a new CD coming out in April. Their last album was released in 2000. They've made us wait a few years, what's a couple more months. Also, take the time to check out their website, it's hilarious. CLICK ON JOURNAL AT THE BOTTOM OF THEIR SITE. Here's Jaron's entry from Feb 17th, "I've been drinking so forgive me. @!^ You know what I Mean? Anyway just thought you should know. There. I feel much better now. -J"

My grandpa was a HIC

427 GOOGLE HITS. That's how many times you might be able to read about my grandfather, Charles Osborne. I grew up knowing about his bizarre ailment. My 2nd grade teacher (Mrs. Christopherson) asked me in class if I knew who held the world record for hiccupping. Jokingly, I said "My grandfather".

In the fall of 1990, I took him to the movie "Young Guns II". How many people can say they took their 97 year old grandfather to any movie? He knew every make and model of gun that appeared on that big screen. He loved the hot buttered popcorn and ate popcorn for the next 7 months until he died on May 1st, 1991. There's a lot more to tell about the old fart, I just may write a biography about him someday. What's your world record?

It's a Perfect Time to Work-out

So much for my New Year's Resolution to start excercising more. At least when I'm sitting around inside the house, I'm reading something healthy. That is when I'm not on the internet or watching TV.

Snow Removal

You have to wonder how big the pile of snow is at the dump site after the city of Sioux Falls does it's snow removal.

SNOW BILL: The cost of snow removal from Feb 1st until Feb 19th for Barnes and Noble was over $4000. The one-time bill to scoop up the snow and haul it away was around $2500.

Andy Towle inspired me to create my own blog entries. My Sprint cam is nothing compared to his digital Canon. If you have a few hours to spare, take the time to browse his site...and take a few moments to enjoy mine.
