Hostcards from the Edge

I worry that I don't take enough risks. I haven't skydived or fire-walked. I wear my seat belt, and I mostly stop at most stop signs. I be playin' it safe...until moments ago.

While looking for an envelope, I found a Kashi TLC granola bar (peanut peanut butter variety) in my desk, clearly from "some time ago". A quick check of the wrapper spine revealed an expiration date of July 16th, 2008. Uhhhhh, knock knock. That's two weeks ago! Well, I was hungry, so...I ate it! Doing so rather made me feel not unlike the fellow in the "The Transporter" movie series.

Yours fancily,

Jon

Check out today's Secret Link...or play it safe.

I didn't think I'd be one of those people who starts a blog, and then never posts again, yet here I find myself a full five days after my first post...posting my second post. It reminds me a little of my relationship with my new Father's Day present, a red Nintendo DS, and specifically the "game" Brain Age. Early on, I was "training" every day, clearly making my brain stronger and younger. Yesterday, I picked up my "li'l red computer", and it informed me that I'd been away for 10 days! Do I really need this thing keeping up with me, making me feel less than dedicated?

Yesterday, I finished building a corn toss game. We saw one in West Virginia a couple weeks ago at Ace Adventure Camp (wouldn't you consider a name change?). I plan to debut it tonight at my Mom's house (yard) where it's sure to provide plenty of one-arm-usin'-whilst-drinkin'-a-beer-with th'other'n fun for me, my siblings, and my children (not the -whilst-drinkin'-etc. part for the children!!!!).

Here's a new feature of my blog. I call it THE SECRET LINK.

Try it!
Or don't.

Keepin' up with the Hosts & Pendarvisi

My wife is my blog hero. When I figure it out, I'm going to put a link to her blog on my blog. Hey, here you go! http://lydiahost.blogspot.com/

And, well, my fancypants friend Jack is all "Everybody look at me! Check out my blog, everybody! Hip hip Hooray for me, ya'll!" and now I'm like "In your face, Jack!"

Here's Jack's blog: http://jackpendarvis.blogspot.com/

So far, my blog doesn't sound that great, but I think I'll get the hang of it. Hopefully, I'll learn how to write "blog" less frequently as I go along.

When I have more time, perhaps I'll share my observations of funny things that I invented and other people stole.
