ROAD TRIP - Destination: Thunder Bay, Canada (Eh?)

We are going to Thunder Bay, Canada for the weekend. We are taking the scenic route (61) along Lake Superior, fall colors should be awesome. I'm really looking forward for the Lutsen Alpine Slide, I've done it before and it is way better that what it looks in the video, you actually get to go faster, I guess it's not an easy thing to do while taping it. Any ideas what to do on the other side of the border??

Christian vs. Christ Follower (Pc vs. Mac Style)

In case you haven't check GodTube out let me tell you that you can find some pretty good stuff in there, there is also plenty of tacky and cheesy stuff, of course.
One of the coolest videos I've seen so far have to be the series of videos of Christian vs. Christ Follower which are made in the same style of the very popular Pc vs. Mac commercials.
I have embedded one of the videos here for your entertainment...to see the other videos just follow the links below.
Kudos to Community Christian Church in IL whom are the makers of these videos, very clever idea I must say.

Golf: A New Discovery


Yesterday my good friend Scott took me to hit golf balls for my first time ever; I have to say I got a whole new appreciation for the game. If you don't know how to hit a golf ball, let me tell you, it is harder than what it looks like and if you know how to hit a golf ball it is not easy to put the ball where you want. I was able to hit a few balls, but I still have no control over my swing at all, I think they were all lucky swings. It was really fun and now I feel challenged to learn how to play, Carolyn wasn't that happy, she thinks I'm hooked now.

The lesson I learned yesterday is that the hardest you swing doesn't necessarily make the ball go farther, it's all about the swing!...and a few other things of course.

After hitting golf balls we went back to his house and finished watching the FedEx Golf Cup, it is just nuts how those guys play.
Too bad I went for the first time at the end of the season.

Changes



Lot of changes happening lately, everywhere.

School started, I like the classes that I'm taking this term although math is already killing me. I definitely need help.

Season change, for Minnesota the summer is pretty much considered over, now we go through the fall and then into the long months of winter. Fall is definitely the best season, the temperature is nice and the colors are awesome.

New iPod introduced yesterday, if you haven't heard about it yet, Mr. Jobs introduced the new iPods yesterday. The new sensation? iPod touch, which is an iPhone without the phone. They all definitely look really good, I admire Apple's designs in their products, however I don't admire their prices and how they rip everybody off. Just a little more than two months ago the iPhone was released and yesterday they announced a price slash for the iPhone: $200 less! I always laugh at those who feel the desperately need to buy electronics as soon as they are released without thinking that they are just going to get cheaper as time passes by.

Once thing that hasn't changed is the loosing streak I had in softball this year. I played the whole summer with the church team and I think we only won one of many games. I then joined the team at work to play on the fall league and pretty much the same thing happened, we have lost every single game. Hmm...is God trying to teach me something here?

Changes are good, they make things different...(wow, what a thought)
