(actually it's a funny little song, but I can't sing over the internet)
A Turkey sat on a backyard fence
And sang this sad, sad tune
Thanksgiving is coming
Gobble, gobble GOBBLE gobble
And I know I'll be eaten soon
Gobble gobble, gobble gobble
Gobble gobble gobble
I would like to run away
Gobble gobble, gobble gobble
Gobble gobble gobble
I don't like Thanksgiving day.

German Word of the Day
das Schaedlingsbekaempfungsmittel (dahs SHAYDlings behKEMPFoongs MITtel) - the pesticide
Literally, it means the damaging/harm fighting agent.
Don't you love those big German words???? :)

Supersize Diet
I read this today, and I totally noticed the difference that this article explains when I lived in Austria.
Taken from Outside Magazine (Dec 2003):
Paul Rozin, a University of Pennsylvania psychology professor who specializes in why people choose the foods they eat, recently took a big step toward explaining why only 7.4 percent of the French are obese - despite a diet rich in cheeses, pastries, and other high-fat foods - while 22.3 percent of Americans are un-healthily rotund. His research comparing portion sizes served up in Philadelphia and Paris revealed that the French eat smaller portions than supersize-obsessed Americans. Here's a sampling of what he found:
Regular Fries at McDonald's 72% larger in U.S.
A Pizza Hut Pizza 32% larger in U.S.
Average Chocolate Bar 41% larger in U.S.
Average Coca-Cola 52% larger in U.S.
Average Hot Dog 63% larger in U.S.
Average Serving of Ice Cream 24% larger in U.S.

Timing
Hopefully, you know a little bit about our trip to North Carolina last weekend. It was great.
It just so happens that tomorrow night at our Bible study, we're studying 1 Corinthians 9. We already asked another guy in our group, Josh, to lead that night. And now, with the possibility that we'll need to raise support in the near future to go to Austria, it seems like much more than coincidence. If you don't know what I mean, take a look at 1 Cor. 9. Some things stand out to me like "Don't muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain," sowing spiritual seed and reaping a material harvest, those who preach the gospel should earn their living by the gospel, and running the race of faith to get a lasting crown. There is so much in that chapter.
The timing of all this seems like God's work. Anne and I aren't promoting ourselves, but God seems to be bringing up the topic of support for those doing ministry.

Snow in L.A.???
Yep, it's true. I wasn't there to experience it, but there was a ton of hail that fell on L.A. on Wednesday night the 12th. I read that some places had a foot of the unflavored icee from heaven. Woah.

2.67 Hat Tricks
Yes, that's 8 goals. My niece, Emilee, scored 8 goals in her soccer game over the weekend. I wish I'd been there to seen it. No, she doesn't play for UCLA or Virginia or something, it's her 4-6 year old team. But, I mean, c'mon! 8 goals!?!? Did she dominate as her tiny little 4 year old self, or was the score some ridiculous 27-19? That sounds more like a football score (American football, of course). I feel bad for that goalie - if she cares even a little bit about her performance, she's probably depressed. Already, at age 5, the poor keeper is wallowing in her misery, looking for Spongebob and Dora the Explorer fruit snacks to medicate her pain.
Ahhh, the joys of youth soccer...
