Thank You, Walker Texas Ranger

It's good to not be sitting on a hill this time. We're at the studio now...Rob's tracking guitars for a song that is going to be sick, while I chill and edit some pictures until it's my turn. The last few days have been good. We played twice yesterday (Sunday) at Church Without Limits, and I went to my first Blue jays game on Wednesday. It was pretty cool...almost didn't seem real when you first walk in there. It looks smalled than it does on TV, I guess just because I'm not used to seeing the entire field all at the same time. I was falling alseep a lot at the beginning so we got popcorn and pop which came to around $7, and then got yelled at when Chris and I tried to take a picture of ourselves in front of the field. The Jays lost. But at least the tickets were free and pretty close (thanks to Brandon who works at the studio and at the stadium.)
I can't really remember what else we did since then...it was also Alex's birthday on Wednesday. They got him a little cake and we sang happy birthday. Then we went outside to take pretty good, although it's always awkward to try and think of what to do in the picture. The best ones would come when we would pretend to talk about nothing. I think our favorite shot is from when we were talking and I told Rob I liked the band on his shirt - which was a Switchfoot shirt...coincidence? I think not.
While the other days since then are still coming up blank, I'm pretty sure they filled with recording, riding the subway, going to Chapters - which reminds me that I bought a really good book titled "What's So Amazing About Grace" by Phillip Yancey. I read a few chapters in Chapters (pun) and decided I had to buy it. It's really interesting so far...yes it's all about grace, and no not the prayer before dinner.
Well I'm almost done here but the last thing I have to mention is last night - after eating a lot of amazingly tasty wings, Matt, Rob, Sarah (our new Ontario best friend), and I came back to Marjori's and watched videos on youtube of Conan O'Brien showing clips from the show "Walker, Texas Ranger" starring Chuck Norris. Oh boy...all I can say is that this was a close runner up for the "hardest ever laugh award" to the time we watched the "Give Yourself Hope" video and Rob stepped in my bowl of ice cream. The clips show Conan pulling a lever everytime he wants to see a random clip form the show, all of which are completely rediculous. It's halarious. Go search "conan texas walker lever" on youtube right now, but be careful because you may laugh up a lung. Oh boy.
Two days left I guess...leaving Thursday morning early to go to Quebec before getting home to the Nish and all the students - I cannot wait! See ya soon.
