    There are two hilarious things about this blog---and even more so than the speedo and brussel sprouts.

    The first is that you say you're coming to Nashville. Cause you really DO say that all the time. Last time I checked Revelation 21:8 was still in the Bible. Consider it.

    The second is...tagging Dog. Like he EVER writes on that blog. Please.

    Wish you guys were here for the Christmas festivities.

    Gee, I don't know if I can come up with 7 things for each list. So I will give you at least 1 or 2:

    Before I die I want to see a game in every major league baseball park

    Lots of things I cannot or will not do - I am with you on the airplane thing. Also won't do any real rock climbing. Brussel sprouts make me puke. I suppose I could wear a speedo if I wanted everyone else to puke.

    Too many reasons I love my wife to list, but here goes anyway. Her Godly spirit, the way she puts up with me, how she is involved in every aspect of the kids lives, her hair, her voice, her compassion, the way she can sell anything...did I mention the way she puts up with me?

    All the time I say - "dude", "I'm the dad, I know everything", "get out of bed NOW", "go to bed NOW", "I hate this furnace", "baseball is the greatest game on earth".

    I read all the Max Lucado books, so that pretty much covers it. I also loved the Lord of the Rings series, the Chronicles of Narnia series, and the Stories for the Heart series.

    I really don't watch movies over and over...I just buy them and put them on the shelf hoping that someday, when I a senile, I can watch them over and over. Some of the greatest movies are - The Passion of the Christ, Frequency, Support Your Local Sheriff (you have to borrow that one some time), the Joan of Arcadia tv shows, anything Star Trek, Field of Dreams, and one of my new favorites, It's a Wonderful Life.

    Merry Christmas!
