I'm Having A Thought Here - April '08 - Melanie Visits The State House

Why These Ravings?

Hey ... you know how they say some people were born with a silver spoon clenched in their wee gums? Well, that wouldn't be me. We had no silverware whatsoever. I was, however, born with a soapbox attached to my feet. Plus which, I never had to be retrofitted with a smarm detector ... all indications are that I came with an industrial model already on board.

I may be wrong at times (you may be right) but I'm never without an opinion, a memory, a rumination, a tale (whether cautionary or otherwise), or a take on any given situation. This occasionally leads to interesting reading.

I'm Having A Thought Here doesn't pretend to be rocket science so if that's what you're looking for, go to www.NASA.gov. Also I have a tendency to be sarcastic, so if that kind of thing distresses you or causes you to become dyspeptic, you might want to go and see if the Easter bunny has a blog.

But I sure hope you stay.

Chapter and Verse

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

~ Psalm 56:8-11

Oh Johnny!

Yes ... I am a fan of actor Johnny Depp. Amazing, isn't it? In fact, I dare you to find a more devoted fan of the spectacular Johnny than I. Go ahead! Just try.

I shall find a way to amuse myself while waiting, but you'll forgive me if I decline to hold my breath.

Kicking a can.

Melanie and I went downtown today to visit the beautiful South Carolina State House. It was 85 degrees with a light breeze, and a delightful day to be outside. We bought Melanie a South Carolina flag at the gift shop and she happily waved it the whole time. If you click on the photo above, it will take you to the album at webshots dot com where you can see all the pictures of our trip!

We did ... but she was so over being posed by every flower and bush on the massive grounds!
