Accent

Saw this on another blog and thought it was interesting...

What American accent do you have? Your Result: Philadelphia Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

What American accent do you have? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

I know for a fact that my own accent varies greatly depending on who I am speaking with... When I took the quiz I was using what I would consider to be my normal speaking voice, but which some people probably think makes me sound like a geek.

Oddly enough, it does not appear that my own results came through in the above thingy which I was supposed to be able to copy and paste right into my blog window...

So I took a screen shot of my results instead...

Busy Weekend

I am currently camped out at Trinity UMC in Chillicothe, waiting for the closing of the Emmaus weekend...

This particular Emmaus Walk I had the privilege and blessing to be able to sponsor my good friend and pastor Steve on the Walk to Emmaus. I have been able to pop in and out over the weekend to serve meals, and attend special services that are part of the Emmaus experience, but haven't really had an opportunity to see what Steve thinks of this whole thing...

Many of the team members I have encountered have mentioned that he has been an eager participant in the weekend and that they've been giving him a hard time about his hair since he arrived. :)

I hope that he found the weekend to be refreshing and worthwhile... I'm anxious to talk to him on the way home ( and possibly over an epic lunch or two ) to hear about his experience.

The Bink

Ellie and I are sitting in the car while Jenn runs into Once Upon a Child in Chillicothe. She is singing Veggie Tales to me and telling me about her day with her friend Jaidyn... Oh! and now she is picking her nose :-) Ah to be two again!

Mountain Man Dance Moves

Well... Like Marko, Steve, and many others I have found myself loving the book Mountain Man Dance Moves - The McSweeney's Book of Lists ( Amazon Link ) which I shall henceforth refer to as MMDM.

This post is basically to let you know that any blog weirdness from me in the near future may have been inspired by that book.

Cheers!

Turn about is fair play brother. This blogger thing is pretty slick. Cheers!

Edit : Ok... Just so that everyone knows... My phone-cam skills are indeed the suck... and yes, the blurry guy in this photo is the real Marty Ford.

Blogger

So, I'm a little fed up with how difficult it is to update my blog in iWeb.

Also, Marty and I have been talking about blogging, and that we should both be more dedicated to it.

So, I'm switching to blogger... I will try to post on my space, xanga, etc when there is a new blog up, but what you should really do is get yourself an RSS reader and subscribe to this thing...

Will this make me a more faithful blogger? who knows, I have my doubts....

Anyhoo... Here we go again.
