The Salad Days

So we're in the car today, taking a spin around Minneapolis. It's been very pretty lately as we have gotten a lot of rain the last week or so.

We were listening to Johnny Cash, Live at San Quentin, one of Corrie's favorites. While listening to "Ring of Fire," Corrie commented, "This is one of my two favorites, this and 'Count Your Blessings.'"

Random...I'm not sure where it came from, but it was funny.

In other news, those of you who have been keeping up on my wife's blog have seen the progress Jack is making in the bathroom. I have been quite impressed by it all. Steph has done this twice now. Both times virtually holding up in the house on only hard surfaces. Both times, she has been quite pregnant, and the sitting on the floor can't be comfortable. It's almost as if she makes the home a compound, and no one will exit until success has been achieved. Well, with little Jack, he has shown (thus far, lest we be diappointed) to be up to the challenge. He learned very quickly that soiling oneself led to great discomfort. An important stride indeed.

I am blessed to be home these two days. To try to ease her burden a bit, and enjoy some of what my life has to offer.
