it's true...

...if you haven't seen this, you should.

Rabies

I can tell you a lot about Rabies now that Krista and I are going through the immunization process for it ... I can tell you things like: when they give you shots for it, the first round is based on your body weight. So, if you weigh less, you get five shots (like Krista) instead of six (like me). Of course, that's only the first round in the month-long immunization process.

I guess it beats dying, though. After all, rabies does have a 100% mortality rate.

What happened ... ? A long story ... but let's just say it mostly has to do with a bat, a small room, and a mom who's full of caring concern to the point that you just have to, well, get a half dozen shots to start off your week.

whelp ...

K and I are off to my little brother's wedding. First Seattle then the "kan."

On a related note: It hit me how different the place we are now is when I saw a plumber's van, a well-cleaned and professionally painted one, that had a white-board displaying the local surf report magnetically attached to the back. I can't tell you how much I wish I had a camera.

Out of Touch

I am at the office of the new job in Laguna Niguel. The internet at the house doesn't start to pick up until the 10th of the month; so, we've been way out of touch.

The new ministry here is sweet, though. It's a smaller church than I'm used to, but I like it. It's nice to feel like you have a voice. The head pastor is a great guy with a great vision, and I will enjoy working with him. The downsize is there are a lot of informal systems that I have to learn. Things just seem to work like you would expect them to in a smaller organization. I like it; it's just hard to get a handle on.

Other than that, life is good.

Just a point of interest ... when we moved from our address in Pasadena to our address in Dana Point ... our car insurance dropped by a third even though Krista will drive more! According to the guy I talked to it's because both living and driving down here is much safer. Interesting.
