Hey,

Wassup?

I have no idea why the title is in a foreign language. Gotta love technology...

I would guess I haven’t posted since last Monday.

So…

I found out when I got home from SBU Monday that I’d picked a bummer of a day to miss being at home. It rained 12 inches, about ¼ of our annual rain fall, in less than 24 hours. Which, as I now know from video and pics, did some muffin amazing stuff. Which I missed. That made me sad.

Tuesday, fun day at the lake. The rains had washed in some massive logs to mess around with. When you’re at the lake with nothing at all on the agenda, a log is a great way to pass the time. Really.

Took this picture:



That started a lovely inside joke I can’t seem to live down…

And probably never will. When you get my mom, Phaedra, Sarah, and Molly, all women who love to hate me, in a friendly way, it’s nonstop MakeZachLookLikeAMoronB/cIt’sFun.

Wednesday, my mom got older. She’s not one to care about people knowing her age, so I could post it, but I don’t remember anyhoo.

Thursday, don’t remember.

Friday, first day of co-op. Am I writing that right? Should it be co-op, co op, or coop? You prolly don’t give a muffin.

Sam staying the night so he could avoid staying at his house with Molly, Katie, and Emily. That’d been rough. So Sam came over, and we babysat. Aka, watched Barnyard with L and O. Which is really funny in its funny parts and really boring in its boring parts.

Mom had spaghetti made up for us. I wanted some bacon. So I made some. B/c I was in charge. It was really good.

The best part: good ol Sam takes a drink of milk. The movie goes funny all the sudden. Sam spurts milk EVERY-MUFFIN-WHERE. Luke, the chair, the floor, the end table… Yeah. I think he apologized about 87 and a half times. It was awesome.

I love watching movies when no one is annoyed when you wanna go back and see a part again. We watched one scene about 5 times.

Meanwhile, at the Bueskings, they’re watching The Sixth Sense, which is the scariest move I’ve ever seen. I called periodically to see how scared they were getting. I must be a major wimp when it comes to getting scared, b/c they were not freaking out like I had been.

Oh well. I guess that makes scary movies more enjoyable for me.

Saturday, party next door.

And we had tacos, which, although they’re good, are pretty much the awkwardest thing to eat while sitting around talking. You ever tried it? Your trying to eat the taco with one hand, catch anything you might drop with the plate in the other hand, and trying to talk, and listen, all at the same time. And then some huge piece of shell and lettuce is hanging out of your mouth, and you’re just like, “Give me a break.” Except it comes out, “mrrph ,mprhthg prhn” because you have all that junk hanging off your face.

I don’t think I’m coordinated enough for that, friends.

And Kezzi turned 17, so happy birthday, kid.

I was talking with newfound friend Rachel Wilson yesterday, and we were wondering what color a Smurf would turn if you chocked it… They’re already blue. I just think it’s one of those things we won’t know this side of heaven.

Sunday, the bestest barbeque ever. And this was a REAL barbeque. We brought in a 3/8” thick steel smoker that had its own trailer. Now that’s a smoker. And the beef was amazing. The pork was stellar. And the chicken was sooooo tender. And then there was the incredible homemade Raspberry Chipotle sauce. Try to figure that word out: Raspberry. It's got laryngitis or something. Rasp...

It was my kind of party too. Just sit around and talk with cool people.

And I had Andy throw me cantaloupes while I chopped em in half with my sword, which I hadn’t used yet. We got video of that.

Good times.

Monday, I finally got my driver’s permit. But I can’t drive b/c I don’t have insurance yet… So all carded up and nothing to do. And my pictures pretty good too.

Not so for the passport picture. Blech.

Why do I need a passport you ask? B/c I’m going to Russia! Yeah, I’m going to Moscow this December with the dad and Kelly for a conference on Church Planting in a Postmodern World. So ROCK!

And then I’m going to El Salvador with the dad and a team of students and Sarah O over spring break!

Which is awesome.

What’s not awesome is if I want my passport in time it’s gonna be about over $200 if I wanna get it in time… And I have no moneys.

Hire me.

I wrote all that on Tuesday, but didn’t get around to posting it.

So, now it’s Wednesday, and I just got done laughing my face off at The Skinny Improv, here at SBU. They are SO funny, it’s not even funny. Except it is. Really funny. As the name implies it’s ALL improve. Very amazing. And have I mentioned funny?

And at 3, I have my first guitar lesson of the semester.

Be God’s,
zach
