Bick's Quicks

What, Who?

Ran across this on Fox News late this afternoon.  Apparently the copy editor and the image director are confused or Madonna and Michael are the same person.

Going 80's Style

I've been looking for a vintage late 80's prelude for a long time now and today I brought one home!  I loved these cars back in my High School days. 

Good ones are difficult to find.  This red 1988 is a rare beauty.  A one owner that was meticulously maintained.  The interior is near showroom perfect, the paint has been redone and it appears to have new carpet.

It drives like a go-kart on steroids, the 4 wheel steering and 5 speed are awesome.  It needs a new stereo, I'm looking for one that will sync with my iPod.  When I find it I'll be rolling these tunes over the speakers, sunglasses on, windows down, sunroof open, hot blond squeeze by my side!

U2-New Year's Day
Journey-Don't Stop Believing
John Cougar Mellencamp-Small Town
VanHalen-1984
Prince-Purple Rain

Funtimes ahead!

Four Fourth Memories

Some fun memories from my Fourth's as a kid....

5 For Friday

1. I couldn't sleep last night err this morning so I caught up on blog reading-greatness.
2. Thanks to a light dose of digestional distress I'm 5lbs lighter-nice and yes TMI.
3. On Wednesday our dogs killed a squirrel and a bird-watch your step in our backyard.
4. God is speaking some things into my life right now that are very good and yet very challenging.  They are to be dangerous and to risk, in faith.
5. I'm turning 41 tomorrow-perhaps the reason for the above.

Fo(o)to Radio

I'm not sure the reasoning behind the composition of this photo but I found it funny and wondered....

Does this guy not own a table that he could place the radio on for the shot?

Should the purchaser of this radio wash it before use?

What went through his mind before taking this picture?

What else does he do with his feet?

Just saying....

• Oggi's Pizza
• The comedy of Jeff Allen
• Sitting on the third row right in front of John Ortberg
• Meeting fellow blogger Bob Hyatt
• The exchanges between Tony Jones and a cranky conference attendee
• Shane Claiborne

One of my last tasks....find trinkets for the kids back home.

Fortune Cookie Friday

How did they know?  I'll be traveling to Africa in October with some fellow Springcreekers to visit the area in Katito Kenya where we are sponsoring children through our partnership with World vision. 

Our church has sponsored close to 500 children in this AIDS ravaged area and will send close to $500,000 dollars over a three year period.  Our first team meeting will take place this Sunday, over 60 people have expressed an interest in the project.
