Friday:

Saturday:

  • Family sleep in.
  • Played with Lincoln while Katie rested.
  • Worked in the evening.
  • Random: Anne Jackson stopped into my store on her way to a speaking engagement. (@flowerdust)
  • AWESOME: Katie and Lincoln came by to visit me.
  • Scored a free Slurpee before going home.
  • Watched the replay of Can You Duet.

Sunday:

  • Church.
  • Finally got to see baby Judah.
  • Lunch at Double Dave’s
  • Helped get Lincoln down for a nap.
  • Went to the church for a quiet place to work on a bit of a writing project.
  • Visited my friend, Ryan, at his new house just down the road from us.
  • Cooked some spaghetti for dinner. *I call all noodles with tomato sauce “spaghetti.” How bout you?
  • Gave Lincoln a bath.
  • Got some sleep for myself

    It was awesome for us to finally meet Lincoln in person and introduce Judah to the Brymer’s. He had a lot of good things to say about you guys once we got home, he just didn’t want to say it in front of everyone, he’s kind of a shy one.

    I love the more detailed Monday Morning List. I am not as much a fan of the one or two word descriptions, but more of a fan of the detail of your weekend.

    Thanks!
    I was glad that Katie and Vivian finally got a chance to get to know one another. The mom’s room has been a big relational blessing.

    I sometimes have a hard time remembering all the way back to Friday or else things just seem mundane. I guess that I can make them more dramatic from time to time.

    Check out your facebook mail, I sent you a message. I still need to respond to your email from last week.

    I am constructing a reply via facebook. I look forward to hearing back from you. I’ve been re-invigorated as of late to write more review for ToC and less movie news. I’ve had quite a few people tell me emphatically that the reviews are what keeps them coming back.

    Do you have any other ideas for ToC? Any other things to incorporate? features? re-do the entire site?

    1) I think that it’s funny that we have three conversations going… here, facebook, and email

    2) I think that reviews are good because they draw web hits, I would guess. I think that there is always a need to re-invent. maintain readership but draw new visitors. Sometimes that is a visual reinvention, sometimes it is a trimming down. Seth Godin would suggest that we pick the one thing that we are great at and become the best. It just depends on whether we are writing for traffic or for the joy of writing.
