This Storm

It’s right before midnight. A huge roar of thunder woke me up. But I had only been asleep for a few minutes anyway.

The cats are scared. Amanda is sleeping right through it all. Bekah wanted me to hug her. Then she fell right back to sleep.

The power went off for a moment just now. A large blast of lightning just hammered something east of our house less than a mile away. The cats will probably not come out for days after that one.

But I’m glad the rain is here. Even if it has to bring it’s loud buddies with it.

Lunch at Main Street Pizza

This is the default text

We sometimes take the opportunity to eat out on Sunday afternoons. Our morning church service typically ends before most of the other churches in town.

Today, we had a quick lunch at Main Street Pizza with some friends.

If you’re unfamiliar, Main Street Pizza is located on the square in El Dorado. (Google Maps location page)  Largely known for their “brick oven baking”, many think that they have some of the best pizza around.

Some of their sandwiches look great as well.

But, today we shared a pizza, salad and a bucket of peanuts. Great as always.

Thoughts on RealID

I’ve spent the last few days very excited about the new features of the Blizzard and Battle.net network. It is something that I think has been missing. Period.

Even though the Battle.net world includes World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft (and also an unknown in-the-works franchise), WoW is the one that is being impacted today. So that is where I will begin.

When it all falls to the floor, World of Warcraft is a social game. Those who solo their way through the game tend to be the first ones to complain about the game or, even, quit.

Any long-time WoW player will tell you that this game is many times the fun when played with friends and people that soon become friends.

That being said…

One of the biggest complaints I’ve heard over the last few days concerned privacy. I think this is bogus. There are no more privacy issues now than before.

On any day in the last 5 years, you could freely give out your name or email address to a fellow player and they could easily find you on Facebook, send you spam, or whatever they would like. You could give your phone number out as well and txt back and forth to your heart’s content. Nothing could stop you.

And nothing could stop you from keeping that information secret and to yourself either. And now, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Keys Required

It looks as if our little girl’s toys should be chosen with more thought. As we’re currently on the search for Amanda’s car keys.

Oh but she LOVES car keys. What to do???

Pac-man via Google

I thought this was neat.

Writing

I’ve started writing again. I picked up a story I started a few years ago and started redeveloping it. I’m not sure how good it is. But I’m starting to spend some time on it. You may hear more about it later.

Peeing on a frog – Indecent exposure?

Mr. Toad comes for a visit

When I was very little, I got into trouble for peeing on a frog outside. I'm don't remember what the frog did to make me mad. Maybe nothing.

I only got in trouble by my mom. But still, it counts.
