Who are we that You should notice us; mere mortals that You should care for us?
For we are like a breath of air; our days are like a passing shadow. (Ps 144)
...Here are just a few captured moments from our lives...

Today's Weather
Very humid with times of clouds and sun High temperature: 32° C Feeling temperature: 42° C
ick. although here is not much better today - temperature of 29, feeling temperature of 39. Though we might get some rain this afternoon to cool things down a bit.... Hope you can hold out with the hot temperatures for just a little bit longer!! Looking forward to seeing you!!!
Yup, it's stinking hot here too, guys. There is good news though: a few more days of me walking around the house buck naked and Nicole might spring for an air conditioner.
She pretends she doesn't care that I walk around au naturel, but I can tell she's near her breaking point when I go to the mailbox. She's already quit going to the mall with me. I've acquiesed about church, though. Tomorrow's Sunday, and I've decided to wear my dressiest Speedo. It's the one with the sequins.
So if you call to chat, rest assured that I'm not wearing any pants.
Ahhh Bec, you and me girl - the phobia of speedo's do my head in. Really, it's not the sequins that bother me, it's more the little bits that ummmm well, well quite frankly have no where to go - and it's all just too much for my imagination. Wow flashback to Ben's butt and a quick prayer that Glen's church community doesn't suffer any permanent eye damage.
The church community was with me until about half-way through my interpretive dance to "Amazing Grace" when I misjudged the distance to the baptisml fount and caught my flashy attire on the corner. Those sequins aren't attached very well at all, and you'd be *amazed* at how far they fly when fully-stretched spandex finally releases and launches them throughout the congregation who, at this point, are diving for cover like Marines avoiding a shrapnel-filled grenade.
All I heard throughout the ordeal was what sounded like the shrieking of a young woman in pain, until I realized that--while the sequins had launched across the sanctuary--the spandex failed to tear and in fact had returned (at a rate approaching the speed of sound) back to my nether regions.
On a happier note, the choir has asked me to audition as lead alto.
Well, again I'm impressed - as I've seen you dance Glen. So those lessons have really paid for themselves I guess eh? Now help me out - the choir has asked you audition as lead alto, will that not require more pain??? :-D
Anyway, we really shouldn't fill up Rod and Bec's blog site with our silly stuff - but fun it is!! I apologize Rod and Bec, but Rod, I always did enjoy bantering with your brother.
I'm glad - but you realize it's all Glens' fault right?! That whole naked image is a tough one to get rid of!! I had a nightmare of flying sequins and body hair and I refuse to say more!!!
Although I accept no responsibility for the drift of this comment thread, you'll all be happy to note that Nicole broke down and let me buy an air conditioner. I don't think she could stand another run to the emergency room to extract spandex from my bits and pieces.
So now you can call me rest assured that I'm wearing pants or--at the very least--my new pair of 'hot pants'.
Well, I've read this latest comment after I've already posted my Superstar comment - so I'm not sure if it can still be considered valid :-(
As far as the weather goes today - it was HOT. We have a 'lovely air conditioner', and I say that with all due respect (cause if we didn't have one it would be hotter) - but the temperature in our place was 92 degrees when I got home from work. Steve and I hid out at the movies but because it was so hot, I had to force Steve out of the theatre tonight. (Ya see he didn't want to leave as it was "quite comfortable thank you very much".)
We had a slight reprieve when we got home - it had cooled down to a "comfortable" (ha) 89 degrees.
So Glen, the place where you get your "hot pants", do you think they have any that have pockets for ice?
Well, if I had ice in my pockets they couldn't really be considered 'hot pants', would they?
Plus, the last time I filled my pockets with ice and walked to the mall, I kept getting sympathetic looks and knowing knods from elderly women who--I am convinced--kept furtively slipping coupons for 'Depends' in my backpack.
I wasn't really asking for YOU! More for me thank you...besides I work with the elderly and I think there might be some debate as to which brand of protection would be more appropriate.
Today, the weather is ummm somewhat better??! Only 89 degrees when I got home.

That's gross. I object to such temperatures.
Honestly, sounds like the weather here on this side of the pond...

Can I put a request in for new in-laws?
(A very scared) Bec
Why don't you call me later and we'll talk about it, Bec?
Glen.

Bec and I were amazed at how an innocent comment about the weather took on a life of its own. But no worries, we are enjoying it!!
