"Then the snow started falling"

Between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon, Indiana had its fourth biggest snow on record with 12-13 inches. Our office closed at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, opened at 10 a.m. on Wednesday and closed at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. But by Wednesday afternoon the sun was shining and the roads were beginning to clear.

The first 1/12 of 2009 - The Year of the Bro Thump - has gone quickly. January always does. Tomorrow the NFL Season will end. Groundhog Day is around the corner and spring will follow shortly. The year may hold a trip to Vegas, a new home, a Berg-Rogers vacation and all kinds of excitement. We'll just have to wait and see.

Things I've eaten today:
  • Bowl of frosted flakes
  • Bowl of magic stars (generic lucky charms)
  • Piece of grandma's german chocolate cake
  • Part of a peanut butter brownie

My most recent favorite show:

  • It's always sunny in Philadelphia

My most recent music purchase:

  • Blood Bank (ep) - Bon Iver

My most recent favorite restaurant:

  • Red Robin

"The riddles and the rhymes"

Psalm

What am I speaking, if not your name
What am I looking at, if not your face
What am I thinking about, if not your word
Where do my feet lead, if not toward your throne
What am I singing, if not your praises
What am I listening to, if not your voice
What are my hands doing, if not your work
Where will I bow, if not at your feet
What am I eating, if not the bread of life
What do I want, if not your presence
What am I seeking, if not you?
