CEC - Conference and Logo Design

Here is last years CEC Blog Posts - I'm starting to feel an intense sense of Blog Ja Vu.
Last year I got voted onto the board. The only real responsibility that they would entrust to the child in their midst was designing a new CEA Logo.

Here is the "original" Logo, I dubbed it the "Chlorine Atom" at our last meeting and I believe it is my criticism of it that got me my job. This was supposed to be a temporary logo place holder that has been temporarily used consistently for 20 years.

Here is my New Logo finished product:

The Conference was good this year but suffered from the Biggest Hypothetical Ice Storm of the Century. Never has the fear of Ice caused so much havoc for a conference. Hopefully people will order CDs if they couldn't make it because the speakers were good. My head is full of stuff to think about, and I've got to do it again next week for CPC in Orlando (no ice there).
I feel more resolved than ever to focus on parental involvement! They have to power and I won't allow them to believe that Cece and I can handle the spiritual development of their children on our own. (Even though we are pretty sweet.)

CEC - What to do when I'm out of town.

I'm going to the CEC which stands for like Christian Educators Conferance this Sunday. I will be out of the office until Wednesday evening. Please try and hold on until then. If I can get online I will post an update. I know some of you may be about to panic, but don't.

Until I get back you could try (Try at least on a day):
1) I've updated my links section to include other blogs. Proceed with caution.
2) Post on if I should or shouldn't shave off the beard (I'll be keeping the goatee)
3) Post on which super hero you would like to be. (For the sake of argument you may not choose Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, Spider-man or Wolverine. If you don't know any other google Marvel Comics Characters or DC Comic Characters.)
4) Learn a new dance step or invent one
5) Try and find the Zondervan NIV Study Bible Software case that I lost because it has the product key and I can't use it without it.
6) Create your own blog. Lots of you ruetinely post on my blog without one of your own so I can return the favore. Don't worry to much about it being "great" just post something of interest once a week to start.
7) Write someone you know an actual letter. (Not email... you know, paper, stamp address, thought.)
8) Play minesweeper until you have beaten beginner and intermediate.
9) Write an anonymous memo to you boss and sign it, "The Spoiler." Suggest in the memo that 4 people get fired. Include the three best employees at the office and yourself.
10) Tell a stranger they have lint on them.
11) Ask a coworker to go to lunch you don't normally talk to.
12) Email someone from your old high school and confess you stole their college acceptance letters from the mail years ago.
13) Only shave one leg or one side of your face until I get back.
14) Call a friend and make plans for dinner, then call back 15 minutes later to cancel says, "I've gotten a better offer."
15) When in an area with two different colored tiles, choose one and walk on it. Tell others, "The black square are lava."
16) Ride an elevator facing away from the doors and the numbers. (other will often do the same)
17) When in traffic and someone cuts you off or you cut someone off and they drive up to give you the finger, be ready for them. Make eye contact (most people avoid it), smile reaaaaaally big, give the thumbs up, the draw your thumb across you throat and point at the passenger in your car. Mouth the words "Olive juice!" over and over again.
18) Write a poem them burn it. (Lets face it you can't write poetry.) Then say, "Yesterday I wrote a poem then burnt it in the sink." If someone asks why say, "Because there is a burn ban."
19) Introduce yourself with your middle name every teller, receptionist or drive thru worker, even if they don't care or ask.
20) Look at a picture of yourself from college and wonder where that skinny person went.

There that should hold you over.

Oh and #21) Find all the typos in this blog because I refoose to spell checj.

While I was away...

While I was away... (I'll try and go in chronological order)

1) I got a big response to my last blog, people seemed to like being given homework via blog.

2) CEC went well, we flew to San Antonio. Which basically goes like this.

"We'll be taking off soon, please blah yada yackity blah."
"We are now climbing."
"We have reached our target altitude you may now roam about the cabin... uhm, strike that... we'll now be making our decent please return your tray tables to their blah yada yackity blah"

4) The conference was fun. When the last item ended at 9pm lots of the older people went to bed and I organized a "Jail Break." I'd like to tell you what we did but the first rule of the Jail break is you don't talk about the Jail Break.

5) I got voted onto the Board of the CEA. But my thunder was soon stolen when Cecelia was voted "Best Christian of the Year." She got a trophy and a dozen speeches, I got a 7am meeting.

6) I bought a "wired" magazine and now I have to have a Lego Mindstorms NXT set!

7) I finished a "Fiendish" Sudoku in 20 minutes on the flight home! "Go Trey! It's your Birthday! Go Trey! You big Dork!"

8) Wednesday night I fell asleep with my weed-wacker on and I woke up without a beard.

9 And most recently I skipped #3. (This joke stollen from the Super Chi charter.)
