(Just like Conversion Diary’s 7 Quick-Takes Friday, but only half as long, and nearly half as good.)
I.
I wanted to be all sophisticated and cerebral with my blog this year. No silly memes, foolishness, or shameless self-promotions. HA! Thanks to LarryD I have already seen that fly out the window.
Too.
I played outside today doing a very Alaskan thing. It was -10°F. I was literally walking on the shelf-ice of a still flowing river looking for tracks of predator animals - on purpose, to follow them. I will save you from the rest of the insanity of what we were doing, but let's just say it was a blast. My feet got a little cold. It really makes you appreciate God when you are out in such conditions, and realize that the world don't stop, even for -10°, or -55°F like it was in some areas in the state.

I hate to even mention this so I will do it here, where people have already stopped reading this post. I made a little video last year (which I now wish I spent more than a single night making) which gained some "viral-esque" traction on The Tube of You. I tried keeping up with responses and requests for various things concerning the video, which almost came faster than I could respond. Anyways, I found out today, rather accidentally that a DIOCESE has it on its HOMEPAGE. I don't even know what to say except that if God can use me, and my talents... HE CAN MOST CERTAINLY use you and yours. Go do something God-worthy today.

I have been having a weird allergy reaction, which I almost never get, ever since I got home today. I wonder if I am alergic to warmth now? Is that possible? Wow - what if that were true?
Thanks LarryD for hosting!

Wow! Somehow I'd never seen that video you made - great job, it's awesome!
-10°F, I start to gripe at 60°F. I grew up in cold places, I spent a good chunk of my childhood in Germany, I used to love the cold weather, then I had to work in it and it made me reevaluate that stance.
I remember that video! It made it to a catholic forum I frequent.

I love that video! I didn't know it was you who made it! I was having a crummy morning and was in a rotten mood but now that I watched your video, I feel better! I especially like the picture of the Handmaids of the Precious Blood! Great job! I'll probably just have to post about it and link to you now!
Crazy cool video! Only 96k views though, get with it.
