Sidewalk Chalk Extraordinaire

Hinge Day

Today is the day of when the VCS administration will meet and talk about my possible fit as a Bible teacher!! So, it seems that whether we work at VCS or not hinges on their conclusion about me today. Actually, they could have already had the meeting since they are 6 hours ahead of us on East coast time. Wooooaaaahhh. Captain, speak your words...that move us along.

Amazing Photo of the Day



Need I say more?

Snow!

Probably about half of the country has snow right now. We here in Bloomington, Indiana, haven't been overlooked. Anne is the lucky one today because all the schools in the area are closed. It's a day off for her while I have to keep bringin' home the bacon. :)

Waiting Isn't Easy

I'm supposed to be getting a phone call any day now during lunch from Phil Paden. He's the director of Vienna Christian School. I found a spot where I could speak freely in the student union during lunch yesterday. The exact location is a secret, though, so don't ask me to give that away. :) So he didn't call yesterday or today - maybe tomorrow. Right now I'm feeling pulled in multiple directions - from VCS to Subway and back again. Back and forth, back and forth, back and back and back and forth.

That is a quote from something I just remembered from childhood. I used to go to the Orange County swap meet with my family. It's a sort of nicer flea market. Anyhow, there was this guy there all the time, and Asian guy. And he was selling this special slicer-dicer-cut up veggies special gizmo. And he was really fast doing his demonstration, using a back and forth movement with this slicer. And he would call one side of his tool New York, and the other one L.A. He'd say, "New York. L.A. Back and forth, back and forth, back and back and back and forth!" And slice stuff up with the same rhythm. It was cool and funny - and maybe you just had to be there to get it.

Now you've been able to follow along in the paths of Crispy's brain for the last couple of minutes!! How fun! :)

T O D A Y ! ! !

It's Annie's Birthday! I wanted to put up a cool picture of her, but all I could manage was this.....



but at least it IS Anne Frank, just not my Annie. :)

If I was a movie star....

You've gotta check out this link on the top left called "Your movie personality"!!! It's not a trick. It is a short test (you choose how long) and then it gives you some cool results about your personality.
ooooohh, are you interested????

The Super Hornet!!!

This is what my new toy will look like very soon! Or actually, it will be more like a blurred version of this. Ha ha!!

Weekend Fun

Just thought I'd fill you in on a couple weekend highlights. Friday, I used my Christmas money to but a remote control car. I'm excited! I'm halfway through building it, which is fun, but it takes a long time. It's supposed to go 30 MPH!!! YEAAAHHH I'm gonna be chasin' cats or something. OK, maybe not, but it'll be fun.
Another highlight was volleyball practice. A friend of mine, Eugene, is a really gifted volleyball coach and he's letting me join his practices for his 8th grade girls team. Not as a player, silly, as an assistant coach. Yesterday I did a lot of the drills along with the girls and my legs are SORE. For all Deutsch readers, "Ich habe SCHWER Muskelkarte!" I'll be back at it again tomorrow night. So far, it's a lot of fun and I'm learning a lot. :)

I guess this is mostly about me, and not so much Anne. So I'll give this a try: she used her new bath pillow and loves it! She baked banana bread and made chicken salad yesterday and it was awesome! She hung out with Katie Cronk (leaving for Asia) on Friday night for dinner and a movie and a "goodbye" time.
OK, well that's just the facts and she doesn't talk that way. She'll just have to start entering things on her own once in a while. Someday......
