Romper, bomper, stomper boo.

Time for another trip down memory lane. This should be a short one, but you never know what might happen once I get going.

Anywho, I remember Romper Room very well. It was one of my regular shows when I was a preschooler and even into kindergarten, oh how I loathed kindergarten. Kissing tag, blech, but that is another post altogether. So I would sit and watch Romper Room each day with rapt attention. I had sent in my name a few times, I had even sent in some of my artwork, if you want to call stick people artwork. I waited patiently every time, waiting for her to say my name.

Then one day, it finally happened. “Romper, bomper, stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do. Magic mirror, tell me today. Have all my friends had fun at play? I can see Jeff…” Boom, I disappeared. My mother had never seen me move so fast. I had ran behind the chair I was sitting in and refused to come out till she had stopped looking. See I was sick that day so I was still in my PJ’s, I really didn’t want her to see me like that. My mom still giggles about that to this day, my brother would like to chime in I am sure. But if he does I will remind him of his youthful fear of a certain MR. BILL!

The post part 3

Yep, I’m still alive. I am still pretty much contemplating faith and other Christian related things. A little retrospection can be a good thing once in awhile, I think. Unless of course you neglect the two people who come to rely on your somewhat banal posts to remind them that their lives aren’t quite so bad after all!

A little adventure tonight. While I was on break at work I noticed an odd group of lights in the sky to the south of me. At first I thought it was one of those ugly butt towers. Then they kind of skewed themselves out of line. Then they started dipping lower into the sky till they disappeared behind the tree line. I thought it odd but wrote it off. A few minutes later I look over and there they are again. Some of them are now pretty close to each other, which ruled out helicopters. Then they did their disappearing act again. They didn’t come up before I went back in from my break so I thought they were gone. As I was leaving from work I noticed that they were indeed back again, not as many of them but there they were. I decided to drive in that general direction to get closer and figure out what they were.

The problem with that plan was that they kept dipping out of sight so I would have to pull off the road and wait for them to reappear and start following them again. After driving several miles they dipped once again and they didn’t come back up. I gave up and went home. I will probably never know what the heck they were but at least it gave me something to do since I have been dealing with insomnia again here lately!

Now I need to go catch up on what all my internet pals are up too. Gads it’s been so long they may think I don’t love them anymore!
