time to dream and time to sleep

Loooooong practice today. Eek. Quite exhausting, frankly. And I missed the 60-degree weather. Yes, 60 degrees. But I think we made good progress, which is good since we open in 9 days. Double eek.

I am now sitting in my Comfort Inn room in Pella, awaiting a day with extended family members and trying to remember that I don't need to impress them. Always a struggle. Has anyone else noticed how boring and un-cozy (yes, I made up that word) hotel rooms really are? And they're supposed to be like a home away from home. Hmm.

I rode down with my brother, sis-in-law, and nephews. And I was embarrassed when my 5-year-old nephew had to tell me what a condor was. He's a little too smart for his own good...

Profound thought of the day: I've been catching glimpses of heaven lately. You know when things are so good that your heart aches because you know they can't last? Someday they'll last. Someday.

condors are big vulture like birds from cali. Doesn't everyone know that?

Three Dr. K's, actually. One Krysgman, and two Korneli. Good times. I'm good, full, tired. K(C)asey is good, quite happy to see me everytime I go over. Hurray for quality entertainment!

Those glimpses of heaven are so wonderful -- I agree!
Good luck (blessings, I mean) with Little Women! I wish I could be there to watch it.
Happy Thanksgiving -- hope you had a good day. I wouldn't think you'd have to work to impress anyone -- you're just cool. But I know the temptation very well :-)

Phil, you spelled Krygsman wrong.

Oops :S. Actually, I blame that on a typo, not me not knowing how to spell Krygsman. Cause I do, I just proved it. Stupid turkey induced typos.
