If you could do anything in the world and be assured 100% success, what would you do, and why aren't you doing it?

This question was asked of me this week and I haven't given it it's due time. Hopefully both you and I will get the chance to really dive into all it contains.

I meant to publish this post with great pictures of a striper fishing trip on Lake Whitney that was set for Wednesday morning. We got up around 4:30 and headed out to the lake, only to find out that our guide's boat had shut down and wouldn't start... It's ok - I got to salvage the morning reading virtually an entire Harry Potter book (2) and having lunch with JR. Yes, I know, the movie is fast approaching and I still have a ton more Potter's to read!

I ordered my first pair of TOMS shoes! I'll see how they work out. I went to church on Sunday morning (in long cargo shorts - which is common at Watermark in the summer) but couldn't get myself to wear sandals or flip-flops in church (overly casual shorts, but not overly casual shoes? Yes, it's ridiculous I know). Anyway - hence the TOMS shoes. I decided there was probably nothing more unstylish than cargo shorts, a polo, and crew length socks rolled down w/ old tennis shoes. Why should I care? Eh - I don't know, but I do so get over it.

By the way - Sunday's sermon - "Our need to for others to show us the way: because Mufasas become Maneaters" was, in my opinion, exceptional, partly because it included Huck Finn, My Side of the Mountain, and a real white siberian tiger cub! You can check it out at watermarkradio.com/.

5 things to do this week:

1) "The road to knowledge begins with the turn of the page" so says my fortune cookie from Pei Wei. Read something worthwhile! Harry Potter counts - don't tell me otherwise!
2) Ponder the above question.
3) Start or update your blog!
4) Call those three people on your list that you were supposed to catch up with and didn't.
5) Have a ridiculously good time eating good food, connecting with people, and celebrating the 4th of July!

Oh - and I need a Harry Potter costume for All-State camp... any suggestions?

SDG.
