Abby and Evie in Colorado Springs

We went to Colorado Springs today for a pre-Father’s Day family time. The girls were cute at the zoo there.
WordPress is telling me this is my 2000th post. Not a lot of content here, but just for grins:
1) The surprise non-geek post: Ligers
2) I’ve been blogging (mostly at this site, but when I started on a site that no longer exists) for over 10 years
3) Doing the math on that, I’m not a very consistent blogger
4) Before switching to WordPress I wrote my own blogging platform
5) Most people really want pictures of my daughters on this site, but I’m a bit short on photographs
6) After all this time I think my Sister-in-Law, Shari, still thinks I’m a dork
7) I have probably gotten the most comments on this blog from my mom, who used to regularly correct my spelling and grammar
8) This list isn’t very interesting
9) The blog I used to link to, but that is defunct, but that I miss the most is “Apropos of Nothing”
10) Before Facebook and Twitter I used to spend a LOT more time on this site
When I used to work at the Christian book store in college I was a new hire and the owner was showing another new hire how he expected a display rack cleaned. He called it the “auto center.” I laughed because I thought it was a clever name. It was a name that sounded more grand than the plastic display actually was.
I got called into the owner’s office and was scolded for making fun of the name by laughing. I would like to take this time to point out that you’re welcome to laugh at all my posts – whether they’re intended to be funny or not – and I will not call you into my disorganized office (which I will be cleaning this week). I will, however, show you my guitar center.
I have a problem: every time I run into a foreign name that is spelled out that is unfamiliar to me I read it backwards just to make sure someone isn’t playing a joke on me. I’ve read too many books, watched too many movies or something that causes me to do this. So far I have found zero actual cases of foreign names that are funny backwards… but I’m watching… waiting… I will not be fooled!
