What would you do?

February 16th, 2007 / Categories: Alaska, MEN!, Moose Nuggets / 5 Comments »

if this were your daughter? Or if this were your son? 

Yesterday I learned of a 12 year old sixth grader in a nearby school who received flowers for Valentine’s day while at school.

nice, right?

She thought so, too, and spent the next several periods showing them off and telling everyone who would listen where she had gotten them – and who had given them to her.

He’s a junior at the school next door! A junior! That makes him at LEAST sixteen years old, and probably seventeen years old. He is at least four years older than she – most likely five years older.

What is her mother thinking? What is this boy thinking? No, don’t answer that last question because, while I am much older, I still remember and can figure what he is thinking.

I wish I could look him in the eye and tell him one thing: son, if that IS what you are thinking – and if you are DOING what you are thinking – you need to know this – it is a jailable offense!

Now, get your head out of your pants and date girls your own age.

At least until she is 18 and can make up her own mind about how old her date is.

not that kind . . .

this kind

David Thornton grew up here – and is now in Winona Lake, Indiana. Darkroom is a band he is part of . . . His dad is a local pastor and is also a musician. In fact, on one of the cuts, Six Eight Four Four, he plays trumpet with David.

Enjoy, folks.

coming home from Anchorage –

check out the snow load on those trees!

brkawayhill1229 

starting to clear though.

Of course, now the forcasts include a LOT MORE SNOW over the next week. Whoopie! Who would think that I live here, huh? I am SUCH a wuss about the snow – well, I don’t mean that I don’t go out in or anything like that, cause I do. That is, my CAR goes out in in. I don’t go out and PLAY in it – that would mean putting on LAYERS of clothes and BOOTS for pity’s sake, you know. And, it c(w)ould mean getting COLD and/or FROSTBIT or something like that, you see.

I am MUCH too fond of my skin just where it is, dontchaknow? heh.

Anyway – enjoy the pictures. In fact, why don’t you all come up here and enjoy the weather, too? There’s plenty to go around.

weather, that is.

and, to think, I might HAVE to go back to Anchorage next week – for a one day conference – maybe – we’ll see – hopefully soon – maybe not. How cryptic is THAT?

see ya!
