I thought my high score of 1,820 was good…until Jed had to go one-up me with a score of 2,033.

The doorbell rings…I answer…it’s a young-ish guy. I think to myself, “Great…here we go.” He introduces himself, explaining that he’s part of a program called NCA (National Career Awards or something). As an aside, I find it interesting that I can’t find NCA’s website. Back to the topic at hand – he goes through his spiel: he’s trying to gain “points” through selling magazine subscriptions . If he gets X number of points, he gets $5k for college. And….the top two salespeop….whoops…fundraisers in the country get a trip to Europe. After waiting patiently through his pitch, I explain that no, we’re not really in the market for any subscriptions. I also explained that after our tithe, our extra cheritable money goes towards supporting several missionaries abroad. At that, the kid turns around and mutters under his breath, “Well – college isn’t important anyways.” LART!!!

As he was walking away, I said, “Excuse me?”. His only response was something like, “Have a good evening, Sir.”

He needs to work on his salesmanship a bit.

Kids these days…friggin’.

Anyone else in the audience enjoying the cool weather as much as I am? Man I slept well last night in the cool air.

Last Saturday, my lovely wife Meghan hosted an english tea party in honor of Grandma Marge’s birthday. All of the female Heitzman Aunts/cousins/etc were invited and there ended up being sixteen people at the party. I was politely asked to vacate the premesis for the afternoon :-)

Here are the pictures Meghan took of the event, and Michelle’s pictures are available here.

…everybody raise your pinky fingers now…mmmmkay
