Ah High Speed at home

That's right for the first time ever I have broadband internet at home. The bummer is that means I have cable for the first time too. I miss Directv. It's easier to use. We had more channels. But cable is cheaper. Maybe I'll get used to it. The good news is that cable doesn't require a contract so I can go back if I need NFL Network that bad.

We've moved all the boxes into the house. Now we're trying to unpack them and put everything in order. Hopefully we'll get there. I've replaced one of the toilets and the wax seal and seat on the other. I think the shower downstairs might be one of my next projects. I'm thinking about putting one of those corner showers in down there. That bathroom needs a new sink and vanity as well. The bathroom upstairs needs a vanity too.

Sold

We've started moving in to our new house. Closing was very disappointing for me. We signed all kinds of papers promising thousands and thousands of dollars and all I walked away with was a pen. That pen is now sitting on my bookshelf. Maybe I'll use it when I pay it off. We're were told we'd get the keys on Monday morning from their realtor. Steph picked up the keys and started showing the house to her friends. But they still had stuff in the house. Steph and the friends started stripping the wallpaper in the kitchen when she got a phone call from our realtor telling her she needed to get out of the house before the guy who used to own the house got there and showed how bad his temper was. It was way confusing but we were nice and left until later that evening. I was bummed when I got there. The sign was gone. I was looking forward to seeing it say sold. We've stayed there the past couple of nights but we're still trying to move in. The neighborhood is nice and quiet so far.

I know what I want for Christmas

This thing looks awesome! Follow the link to an article about the coolest digital camera thing in a while. Follow the link in the article to the picture of London and do some zooming. He says in the video that it will be pretty affordable.

Jailhouse Rock

I went to jail yesterday. I got to preach to the inmates. It was very much like the movies. A big metal door opens automatically and you walk into a little room. Then the door automatically shuts behind you. When it shuts all the way, with that loud movie bang/clang, the next door opens and you're in the jail. Then you check in at the security thing and leave your car keys and anything else you have on you. After we were checked in we headed to a classroom that was remotely unlocked when we got to the door. We had two groups. The first one really seemed to interact better with me. Each group had about 25 guys. One of the guys named Micah sang a song that he wrote. It was pretty incredible. I'm hoping to get a copy of it and have someone sing it in church. I guess I'd say that my first time to jail was ok. I'm really hoping I never end up living there.

OK ok I can't handle being not cool

Ok here's what's been up. I've been too busy campaigning for Hillary to put up posts. I saw her speak in Kokomo. It was great. She pointed out a ton of insightful things. Like here in this picture she was actually saying, "Look at this guy. He has a huge head!"

She also told us that she was going to cut the gas tax for us and charge it to the gas companies! How great is that? Oh wait a minute. What will the gas companies do? Charge us extra to pay for the tax? Nuts. That's a great promise.
