Murder on the Water

This last Saturday night, Tyson's girlfriend, Sara, treated him to a Murder Mystery Dinner aboard Argosy Cruise in Seattle. Liz and I had the joy of tagging along.

We really had a good time. The food was ok. And the murder mystery, itself, was also just alright. We were expecting quite a bit more drama and mystery. There were two deaths, so that was plenty of murder.

We had set Tyson up to be a suspect, but he really wasn't feeling comfortable having to stand in front of so many people, so I pretended to be Tyson and hammed it up the best way I know how. That part was pretty fun. All in all, it was a great evening, but mostly because of being able to hang out with each other. Below are a bunch of pictures that we took from the top of the ship.











Liz thought it would be funny to make a face while I was snapping pictures. Man, I love her.

It's Mom

My mom, that is. But most people call her Becky.

She has come to stay with us for a little while. She's going through a lot of stuff right now and so she's taking a little vacation to try and get some things worked out. She is a wonderful person and a joy to have around. In fact, I would say that the majority of my weirdness comes from her. It's actually been over 25 years since we've lived together, so it's pretty cool.

Please pray that she would be able find the healing that she needs and be able to get back to the life that she misses so much. Also, for her husband (Calvin) and two children (Casi and Colby), who are all still in the Tri-Cities (eastern Washington), that they would be comforted while she is away.

She'll be here for about a month, so please feel free to come visit her and say hi. She's really excited to be able to meet our friends and get a taste of the life we've created out here.

Random Musing - I'm Where?!

Today, I attended a Retiree Appreciation Day (RAD...that's right. A RAD) for work. My job was to talk to Vetrans and explain some of the benefits of my program for Combat Related inhuries.

As I left for the day, I stopped at the restroom before me drive home. I was quite taken back by the sign that greeted me as I entered.

This very well could have been the end of what was shaping up to be a pretty good day.

Luckily, this was not a mandatory station. I was safe.
