Super Hero Power

If you could have one Super Hero Power, what would it be?

Kids have been asking each other and themselves this question since there have been Super Heros. I still ask myself this question.

As long as I can remember I've always wanted to fly. At age 5, on an extremely windy day, I pulled a Mary Poppins stunt by jumping from the top of our swing set while holding onto an umbrella. I didn't break anything but the umbrella wasn't so lucky. I'm thinking that maybe with a sturdier umbrella my little stunt may have worked. My failure to fly at the age of 5 didn't kill my dream though. I'd pretend to fly by swinging on my stomach and posing like 'Superman'. At some point during my early teen years, I went on the 'Rip Cord' at Cedar Point. (for those of you who don't know what the 'Rip Cord' is, it's kinda like a huge swing ride on your belly.) At the age of 20, I went skydiving for the first time. Woohoo! And then again just last summer. :)

Anyways, the list could go on. Bottom line is that I have a final answer for this classic question. I want to fly...like Peter Pan. So that's my decision.

(yea, that's right, I made a decision about something!!!)

Why the Willow Weeps...or Doesn't Rather.

This is a picture of our weeping willow tree as of before yesturday afternoon. Its a rather big tree as you can tell by the mammoth truck parked directly beneath it. Well my dad has been wanting to get it trimmed, hence the mammoth truck. Yesturday afternoon, as I slept peacefully in my bed, the tree trimmers came and butchered the tree. Amazingly enough I wasn't awakened by this dandy peace of equipment ...

...this wood chopper was grinding through half the tree right outside my bedroom window. Evidently I sleep like a bear.

Anyways, when I did wake up I had no idea any of this had taken place while I was sleeping. So when I walked into the kitchen and looked out the patio window I was rather shocked to see this... ...my exact reaction to what used to be a happy weeping willow tree, was "Oh my goodness! It looks so stupid!" Feel free to compare the photo from before with the photo after, to validate my statement. It's like the tree lost 1 ton and in only a couple hours! Amazing. And just for those of you who don't know him, that's my dad leaning against the tree. He's cool.

Side note: Hot and Spicy Cheezits are excellente! Ya gotta try 'em!

and since it's been awhile...
