okay . . . next question

Random anecdote to brighten your day . . .

My dad is an engineer. He thinks he's got EVERYTHING down to a science. Like he is the master of the universe and completely understands the intricacies of every little thing. Here's just a short description of the lengths he goes to just for re-heating something in the microwave . . .

he'll put in some obscure item and kinda wrinkle up his face for a minute, trying to get a feel for it. then hold his finger in the air, as if testing for humidity or wind speed. then punches in a bizarre time (like 47 seconds. or 1 minute 13 seconds) and then a power level such as 7 or 8 or what have you. WELL THEN . . . after a chunk of that time has gone by, and before the time runs out, he'll punch in a new, lower power level to finish it out!

Find a mistake? Want more info? Have suggestions or requests for my next update? Need someone to email? If you answered 'yes' to any of the following questions, then give this a lil clicky' click.

	About "Okay . . . Next Question"
	Over the summer, I was on a mission trip in Smithland, KY with a group of high schoolers from Lourdes parish in Owensboro. We had to spend an hour and a half on the church van every day to travel back and forth to the work site. This gave us a lot of time to play a "game" which we began calling, "okay . . . next question." Someone thinks up a random question and asks the whole group. Anybody and everybody can answer. And when we thoroughly finished answering the question, somebody would say, "okay . . . next question," and we'd start with something new. It turned out to be one of the best parts of the week. It provided us with a lot of laughs, but also a great way to learn a lot about one another. And, in a symbolic way, life is kinda like that. Going from one question to the next. Learning. Laughing. Moving on. Once you get through one thing, you have to say, "Okay . . . Next question."
