Superbowl Commercials
The commercials this year during the Superbowl was in better taste than years past. My favorite superbowl commerical was between the little Dark Vader and Wendy's.
What was your favorite superbowl commercial?
I'm hoping I don't run across any petulant people today.

Book
I just finished this book:
Cape Refuge series – Southern Storm book 2 by Terri BlackstockThis was a good book. There was suspense as the Chief of Police Matthew Cade came up missing. Even though most of the town believed he just walked away from his position after hitting a pedestrian and killing him. Blair Owens wouldn’t believe that even after evidence showed that most of the town was correct. I enjoyed her character of determination in the midst great opposition. This second book wetted my appetite for the next book. We want light to overcome evil and that’s were the next book is headed. I would give this a good rating as I think the characters at times did become unreal. I was able to see things coming so some of the book was not a surprise. Overall I did enjoy Southern Storm but Terry has done much better in her other books.
I'd love to hear the book your reading now.
I'd also like to hear about any recommendations of books and why. -
Dreams
I had a dream of my wife last night. It caused me to go into prayer for her. I don't dream too much or I should say I don't remember dreaming.
Do you have a lot of dream? Good or Bad?

Funny Difficult People
I had to laugh when I heard the following story:
We've got a few "difficult people" in our church. One such guy is a Viet Nam vet. He is bipolar and comes up with things that are way out there. When he first came he told me he was going to get this church is clock working order. He also told me that he had an IQ of 400. We had to tell him when he could come to church on off service days or he would dominate everyones time. Well this past Sunday was Food Fellowship Sunday. He didn't attend service but showed up right after it was over with his food dish and several empty containers. He took over the kitchen (or tried to) and told the ladies in the kitchen how to cook his uncooked dish. He also told them to fill all his empty container with the left overs and he would pick em up after the meal. Now the lady he primarily talked to was a very strong, take charge lady. She didn't know what to do. Her world was rocked.How do you deal with "difficult" people?
I like to be around people that are eclat. It stretches me.

Converstation
I like the idea of 144 characters in tweets. I am a person of few words. I do try to make my words count. I tend to shut down on someone that dominates a conversation. I have noticed some people will raise their voice when you try to get a word in edgewise. (Side note: The first known use of edgewise was in 1677, I suspect by a person that couldn't get a word in.)
What kind of conversations do you like?
1. You like to do most of the talking, but will encourage the other person to speak
2. You do most of the talking and if the other person talks that ok but if not that's ok also
3. You do the talking
4. You like listening and don't mind it if someone talks all the time
5. You are a person of few words but like to communicate those words.
6. Something elseLoquacious speech can be difficult for me.
