Well for the 2nd time in my 15, 000 plus days of existence I have met someone with my first name. He was 5. The 1st time I met someone was 2 yrs ago @ the Academy of Natural Sciences and she was 4....she could have cared less cause she was to interested in the donosaurs...can you blame her?
So heres the "q". If you could have any other 1st name......what would it be?
Anyone who picks my first name (Tate) gets an automatic 500 bonus points.
Winners to be announced tomorrow....

there is no tomorrow.............
was it ben that said "do not put off for tomorrow what you can do today?". good advice, today is today, tonite is tonite, take advantage of it all as if there was no tomorrow...say what you want to say today, do what you want to do today and live the precious minutes you have just as they are....precious minutes.
Well we did not get our pepperoni bread, but we did fill the truck with rocks albeit no smooth ones and we were outside for the majority of today. We are going to watch M.Night's first movie...WIDE AWAKE complete w/heavily buttered popcorn (we figure there might not be a tomorrow)....we did have a pretty awesome late lunch early dinner at a place called
Philly's Phatties http://www.phillysphatties.com/ a very unassuming place that I had read had a very good cheesesteak and I have to agree it was EXCELLENT despite the not so friendly service and typical pizza place grime. I would highly recommend them for steaks and I DO NOT recommend too many places.
Time to shower....and recharge the ipod. One of my favorite pleasures in life is crankin' the ipod up whilst cutting the grass and gardening...I did destroy two wasps nests today...I hated to do it but they were not located in natural settings so they had to go.
BTW....I am filthy right now and am figuring this could be the best shower of my life...after all I might not to get to take another one...enjoy what you do when you do it.
Peace, love & understanding and a good dose of wisdom from heaven!

PS one of the rocks that Tails and I loaded into the truck was extremely heavy....we almost did not get it in the truck but sweat and determination paid off and we have one, huge, heavy Manatawny rock to roll of that truck tomorrow.....thanks Tails...I could not have done it w/o you!
Lastly...(sorry) it was great to see the Howers, Kim Keller & Ben, Jocelyn, Amanda and a coupla girls from Aryn's cabin at camp today ( not to mention a bunch of other awesome folks) ....It wasn't just "like" family....IT WAS FAMILY! Three of those that I saw had been baptized just last week. Amen, amen, amen...for He is great!

Weekend
It's Sat AM after a full moon....Today and tomorrow are days meant to be filled with wonder. Get off the 'puter and go OUTSIDE...
Tails and I will be doing some thinking today and visiting camp to wrap up some minor biz after which we will loading my daddy's truck full of rocks for the infamous rock garden expansion. I also hope to get some smooth rocks from the creek. We are going to buy some pepperoni breads since I was too tired to make them last nite and hit the road....we will be outside all day.
Hope you can be too!!

question of the moment.....
name the best song ever written about friends?
Ms Warwick & friends excluded.
It's FRIDAY!!!!
I have been waiting and waiting for FRIDAY and it is here! Look out rock garden here I come!!!
Quite actually it is early morning Friday and I am getting ready for bed so I can get up-n-enjoy FRIDAY!
Hope you all enjoyed that Thursday and had a chance to look at the moon....slightly overcast here in the Garden State but after much debate it was determined that the moon was full.
What can I say about friends that hasn't already been sung in cheesy songs??
I just said good-bye to my travelin' wife....she is off to Ok. for a few days....the tater will miss her dearly.
I know I tend to get all inspirational on my blog.....let me just say this....despite myself...my kids are incredible. I don't know how it happened.....the word true comes to mind so that's it kiddos

A promise is a promise
A handshake will seal it
No amount of discussion
Can ever repeat it
Commitment forever
To borrow or lend
Deliver your future Into the hands of your friend
Be friendly, befriend me now
Pete Townshend

The Most beautiful Thursday ever made
Today is a beautiful day....it has to be the most beautiful Thursday ever made----enjoy it and don't forget to look at the moon tonite and tomorrow it should be fully round and oh so brite!
I am finally back and fully recovered from camp....look out world it is time to turn you upside down!
I am listening to U2 all day today....they might be the most consistent band of the last two decades....any takers?
Let's see....on another note---have you hugged anyone today? Go and pick a random person, a person that does not expect a hug and turn their world upside down by hugging them.
I hope you all are smiling cause you make me smile
Love-Thunder-Full Moons-Peace-Anger-
Joy----see it where you are!

Life after camp OR this american life
i just played the crap out of my guitar....i had not really played for a week (camp) and boy did it feel good!
Sooo campers i had some other stuff to post but my mental stupor is in the way. whadda ya know...work has really been work for the past few days which really stinks....i don't usually feel this way 'bout work but this week i do.
health....when you have it....you take it for granted when you don't...it's not any fun.
I really need to hit the guitar store but first i have to buy the most beautiful woman in the world her b-day present. if i hit the guitar store 1st then i will have my priorities mixed up.
hope you folks are enjoying yourselves....my mental block finally opened up and i have clarity again...i am going to be doing a mass change of my my email name over the course of the next few days...i have pondered this for quite some time....i really like gmail but they wouldn't let me do less then 6 characters and it did not make me a happy camper 'cause i have been wanting to just use tate@gmail.com but I need two more characters and of course tate@ yahoo.com has been taken over the course of the past 5 years or so.
it looks like i am going with "njtate" @ gmail....I really like gmail.
so campers.....look for a big public announcement over the course of the next few days....till then
peace & love and power to the people! weeeeeeeee!
