wow...it is almost november...in a few days fs will be 30...and in about a month i will also be the BIG 30...that means i am closer to 40 than 20...that is UGE for me...it appears my wig is thinning...and that hair i HAVE NOT lost...it just seems to have relocated to other places on my body...please hold on a minute...
sorry...i just went out into 3rd St. and laid down...but the stupid cars stopped...anyway...getting older stinks...capital S
christmas is also just around the corner...i have many great gifts here at the shop if you have not yet bought for the ones you love...if you love them...it will show...it may manifest itself in a 63 volume set of Spurgeons Metropolitan Tabernacle...or perhaps a 121 volume leatherette set of Louis Lamour will say i love you best...i digress...
i really try to help mrs rider when i get home...mostly by spending time with the boys so she can feel free...i know i must have room to get better...for i am gently reminded (by her) every so often of that fact...but i have gotten better, and will continue to do so...however...on that subject...i heard a story this week about a guy who would come home from work and be a great helper until 7:00pm...then he would just quit and sit down in his favorite chair...and his explanation for this was that he understood that she was "working" more than him...but he said in the long run it would be even, since the kids would leave someday and he would still have another 20 years or so to work...now that is LOGICAL!!!...however i am afraid to use this for myself...if any of you try it...let me know how it works...
when i am not teaching...i dont read and study as much as i should...feeding people is a great responsibility so i am diligent in my preparation...however, for some reason, feeding myself seems to be neglected sometimes...anyway...i began a bible study on monday nights with about 10 of my friends...we are going thru the gospel of john...it has been an enjoyable blessing for me so far...we are memorizing scripture...answering questions...and discussing the text...praying for each other...etc...and this has kept my study and preparation on task...if you are not diligently studying...memorizing...praying...etc...please dont neglect your spiritual health...as C would say...get out from under that pomegranate tree...
the toxicology reports are back from the deaths of tic and tac...it appears that they were poisoned...but the culprit has not been found...this week i am contacting john walsh...hopefully we can bring this psycho maniac fish killer to justice...suicide has been ruled out...the only suspects at this time are mrs and little rider...
i must go...later from 3rd St.

in two weeks I will be 40, and I have recently had a little talk with Jesus about it. It went something like this: "okay, i know my attitude has been bad about turning 40. But today i realize the only other option is being dead. So 40 does not seem so bad now. I will try to quit complaining."
Maybe you could try that. 30 is nothing--31 is the killer.
