So, once again we come to the blog of Kenny without a plan in mind.
I was just looking back at my Psalm songs and on February 27, 2005 I wrote 10, obviously much like this blog, I was behind and needing to catch up. I thought about sharing all ten of them with you, but I am not sure that it would be of interest to you. If it would you can message me here or on Facebook and I will share them. But, since I am unsure about it I will not.
So, onto other things...
We got rid of cable a couple weeks ago, and instead got Hulu Plus and Netflix on our Blu-ray player and a Roku. By and large I am dealing pretty well with the change, it does kinda suck not being able to watch all of my shows, like Justified and Psych on a week to week basis, but overall I think it is working out just fine. Because of the switch I have found some shows I never saw before and have fallen in love with Phineas and Ferb and Avatar: the Last Airbender. Avatar was so good that I watched the entire 3 season run already, and my only disappointment is that there isn't more.
Today I decided to watch an old season of the Amazing Race, Mary and I just started watching it a couple years ago, and there have been 20 Races, so I can now catch up on some I haven't seen. The one I am watching consists of ten families of 4 racing around the U.S.. I am amazed that in every season I have seen, and already quite a few times in this one, even though I am only two episodes in, that people do not seem to have much reading comprehension. For instance, on the episode I watched earlier the teams had to find a clue around the reflecting pool in front of the U.S. Capitol buildings, so, obviously, most of the teams completely skipped over the Capitol building directions and went to the larger, more iconic reflecting pool, the one that spans from the Lincoln Memorial to, then the Washington Monument, and now, the WW II memorial.
I fully believe that if one team would just take the time to read and understand what they have read that they would demolish the competition, winning every leg, because they would have such a large lead to begin each leg, alas they never do. I am an educated guy and I seem to recall that reading comprehension was something that I have been tested on at every educational level, and most times have been tested on reading comprehension before I could even begin a new level. Which leads me to wonder, why, in the name of everything holy, do these people never seem to be able to read a simple 2 to 3 sentence paragraph describing what they need to do next.
It is one of my dreams to participate in the Amazing Race, although Mary doesn't think that the two of us should be a team, she thinks it might destroy our marriage, which might be true. So, if any of you out there would also like to run the Amazing Race, let me know and maybe we can hook up for a chance to win a million dollars, I for one will take the time to read the clue and understand what it is saying so we will not look like imbeciles on national television.
Peace and Love,
Pastor K
