If you haven’t yet seen the new Google Satellite Imaging maps, here’s a good reason to go and play.
Also check out GoogleSightseeing.com – a site devoted to showing us the cool stuff found on the satellite photos!
My buddy Ken told me that dropload was having some trouble today (the site I used to send him a 50-meg file) and told me about another (better designed) site called “YouSendIt.com“. Uhm, how cool is it to be able to send someone up to a 1gb file? That’s one gigabyte!!
I didn’t get home until after 10PM, but it was a day full of business, adventure, family, and fun!
I pulled into Marion after 1PM and saw the WORLD’S LARGEST GRILL!
Of course seeing such a marvel of technology, I had to eat one of the brats cooked on that grill! So I did.
Apparently I wasn’t the only one who noticed this mammoth addition to the Marion skyline – my buddy Glen Robinson ALSO saw the World’s Largest Grill and beat me to the blog and posted about his interaction with the beast before me! (my pictures are WAY better than his!)
After lunch I headed to IWU to drop some things off with a professor who tomorrow heads to Bosnia – where my sister has been for nearly 6-months! He’ll deliver some goods to her THIS WEEK! How cool is that? She’ll be thrilled to receive what we put together (I hope!)
After dropping the items off, I set off to meet up with my Mother-in-law in the Records office where she now works. I simply asked for LeeAnn Garrett and she came to meet me in the lobby! That was easy! We visited for a bit, she introduced me to a lot of ladies who probably know just how many A’s, B’s, C’s, and D’s I got in my college years! She was also able to get my diploma out from “historical” storage (that’s where I’d like to think it was) and send it via the United States Postal Service to me! Woo Hoo! She also turned Jess into a Sheets on the Indiana Wesleyan computer system (they wanted a copy of our marriage certificate last time I talked with them…)
After that it was off to visit with my buddy Josh Koontz – we headed to Jim Taylor’s office in admissions to spend some quality time with Jim. Quality time turned into me and Josh begging for free IWU stuff and ending up with a couple new t-shirts. One of which I didn’t iron before putting on this morning and wearing to the office! (see webcam)
Our cabinet meeting went well and we made some important decisions and we did our jobs of voicing opinion and guidance. We finished the evening with dinner at a Pizza Hut Italian Bistro (a WAY NICER than usual Pizza Hut). Supper was nice and the drive home was LONG.
It’s Tuesday. It’s a little after 12 and I’m about to shut off the computer, close it up and head to Marion.
I’ve got a Youth Cabinet meeting there this afternoon and some IWU-errands to run before then.
I even hope to see my mother-in-law who now works in the Records department! How cool is that? (Maybe I’ll find out today why I was never sent a diploma!)
Last night’s accountability group went well – we had the usual chips ‘n dip, question asking, conversation, etc. and then as we usually do, we spend about 30-minutes throwing the light-up frisbee to each other in the parking lot!
Good times with my brothers.
This morning I showed up to give blood promptly at 8AM. I was 5th in line (the earliest we can give is 8), and yet I was the first one done and out the door @ 8:35AM! How’s that for FAST BLEEDING?! One problem during the donation – the nurse missed my vein at first and had to “hunt” for it (this has happened only a handful of times in my blood-donating lifetime), so she called for the other nurse to come help. I can already tell that the bruise will be a significant addition to my usual pale-white arm color!
Off to Marion.
