Lifeguards and Baptisms

Lifeguards and Baptisms

This summer, our boys are doing the South Walton Junior Lifeguard program. I assume they hired David Hasselhoff to lead it, and that most of the training involves running in slow motion…but I don’t know. We’ll see.

To be part of the program, you first have to pass a swim test. On Saturday, tons of kids gathered at the beach and suddenly ran as one massive herd into the water. It was quite the spectacle, a cacophony of hopeful junior lifeguards sprinting toward the red buoy and back again.

I imagine they all signed up for different reasons.
Some want the fun.
Some want the exercise.
Some just need something to do this summer.
Some parents definitely want them to have something to do this summer.

Soup, Salad or Sandwich

Soup, Salad or Sandwich

Years ago I heard the soup, salad, sandwich theory.  If you are not aware of this, it is simply that every food finds itself in the category of soup, salad or sandwich.  

There are various versions of the theory that can destroy your afternoon if you decide to chase them down this rabbit hole…but essentially it is as simple as this.

Soups are liquids.

Salads are things tossed together.

Sandwiches are food contained within an edible container.
