I'm Older then Glen

Well, I know everyone thought I was younger than my older brother, but, if he is watching a movie that has not even arrived at his home until after 8:00 P.M., I must be older. Mom, when were you planning on telling us the truth. It is now 8:48 P.M. and I have been admiring my own stamina at remaining awake as Kyle and I have been discussing the origin of the universe and the need for everyone to find a place in it when what i really want/need to do is get some sleep. After all, tomorrow is another day. My favorite movie line.....

Triplets of Bellville

Every review has been excellent. It was one of the movies on my list to see on DVD. Let me know what you think.

Does anyone know about this movie?



It comes out on DVD next week. I plan to watch a preview when Rob brings it home tonight. Don't tell anyone.

Doris, thanks for your questions. The map shows the different stages of the "le tour de france" bicycle race. It starts on July 3rd this year. A cable channel has a series of shows on Thursday that give background and detail leading up to this race. While watching it last week I saw bicycle racers on a section of cobblestones. Motorcycles that were filming the race fell in the way of some of the racers and disrupted the race. That is the picture that Glen posted.
The only trip Beth and I have planned is the one to Hawaii from July 26 to Aug 2. The American Psychological Association convention is from July 28 to Aug 1. One of my friends Kirk Schneider is getting an award for outstanding achievement as an independent psychologist. He also is talking about his new book on Awe and it's importance to our sense of well-being. I also want to talk to publishers about the two book projects that are important to me. One on the "art" of psychotherapy with children and the second on my understanding of Jim Bugental's teaching and writings. Jim is/was my mentor for two decades and I feel very strongly that his work has heavily influenced my work with all of my clients.
I am hopeful that you will find someone who will say "yes" and join us in Hawaii.
Thanks again for your questions.

Ohio Vacation

Finally took time to check on the Bloog site. Guess I shouldn't take so much time off again as so much has changed. The Wilson "boys" and all the new pictures of all the young in the family, Sam and Brianna. I do have a question about the map that Steve put on. Are you going to be traveling on that map this summer?

I am so excited about the possible apportunity to go to Hawaii. I just didn't think it would happen so soon as Mary and Bill are definitely not able to go this year. Am still trusting that someone will say yes about being my traveling companion.

Did enjoy the updated pictures of Sam. I didn't really understand the conversation about cobblestone vs ather types of roads but then I don't understand a lot of things and it doesn't really bother me. I didn"t realize motorcycles were running while the bicycles were.

Go Kings

I was at the Kings - Dallas game last night. I am firmly convinced that the Kings want to give their fans heart attacks. What a roller coaster of emotion. It is so loud in Arco. I have no voice left and I can hardly hear. Will make me a better therapist today.

David

Well. I thought I was hiding my anxiety pretty well with not being able to reach David via cell phone between April 11 and April 22, but he did call me to tell me everyhting with him was great, it was his cell phone that was having problems. I can now sleep through the night, well almost, and he wanted me to pass on that his mailing address remains:

David Weaver
P.O. Box 928

LOSING MY HEAD

Well. having lost my head myself, I have empathy for the llama...Samson is too cute and should be outlawed in some way. He is the desktop picture on m computer at school and has been very distracting during STAR testing this week. I think I need to notify the state that I have administered the STAR in a non-standard way with students who need to look at and swoon over the Samson picture between questions.....

Samson Sounds

Samson and I are getting along OK without the one with the biggest shoes in the house. He makes so many sounds. (Sam, not Glen) I never knew puppies got the hiccups and burp. He even has a sound that mimmicks Donald Duck. Of course, the wimper-chirp noise is too sweet. But I practice tough love and don't run to him at those times --- unless I suspect it's bathroom time! He spends his outside time biting off flowers and other green and not so green plants. And every now and then I pull a piece of bark out of his tiny mouth. It's fun to watch him grow. Sometimes I have to carry him outside to do the business. That's just my excuse to cuddle him while I can. We call that strategy the "swoop and poop." We swoop him up and get him outside just in the nick of time...or that's the plan, anyway. It's fun. And an adjustment. Having some little life to care for keeps us childless folks from becoming quite so self-centered. I like Samson a bunch. And yes, the llama had a seam split and suddenly poly-stuffing filled the room (almost) like a marine inversion (clouds). So llama is retired until he gets stitches.

Thanks for the pictures

I am glad that I am not the only posting "cute" pictures anymore.

Puppy Samson 2 and Ashley

It takes some persuasion for Sam to convince Ashley that she should play. This all seems to be related to which dog will become the "alpha dog."



The tug-of-war game has become a favorite. I hear from Cindi today (I am in Chicago posting this) that the stuffed Llama has lost its head, so to speak.



At least Sam is the "Alpha dog" over the stuffed toy.
