How to Get a R.C. Airplane Out of a Tree

I feel bad I haven’t blogged recently. I didn't think I had much to write about so I decided to make a list of things I've learned recently.
-To get a radio controlled airplane out of a tree all you need is a bow and arrow, kite string, and electrical tape.

-I'm still a pretty good shot, even in the dark.

-25 feels a lot like 24.

-The Happy Birthday song is impossible to sing, unless it is started by a 15 year old young man who is pleased with his low voice.

-I hold my writing utensils in a death grip. After an inch thick stack of papers to initial and sign I get a dent in my middle finger.

-Vacations with extended family mean that you will never go hungry and as soon as you are finished with one meal people are already preparing the next.

-1,000 piece puzzles are fun until the picture includes a lot of snow. In that case it is an obsession to do the impossible.

-My heart visibly pounds in my chest when I have to speak in public.

-Getting a shot in the "hip" makes me involuntarily kick.

-You can make a 3 year old want anything if you pretend its fun.

-The ultimate tool in cleaning old cabinets is a bread tag.

-There are a lot of generous people on Craig's List.

-If you want Joel to forget about work for a day take him to the beach and have him dig in the sand with the dog.

-And life is much more fun when you look for the positive.
