Here's the highlight of each of those 26 hours (approximately):
4a: Waking up to tbKMD accidentally dropping a boisterously noisy dish on the kitchen floor.
5a: Getting a free water from Enterprise when renting the "sketch van"
6a: Heading up to Virginia basically on time
7a: Picking up the awesomeness that is Suzy Q in Durham
8a: Listening to Skillet and Fireflight on the drive up.
9a: Seeing blue lights in the rearview and having VA State Police nab someone other than me.
10a: Getting pics of the youth group in front of the KD fountains and Eiffel Tower.
11a: Riding the Log Ride w/ Chowda & JR32
12p: Getting soaked on the Whitewater Canyon (but not as soaked ...)
1p: Seeing Chowda's face when his uncle & cousin met him for lunch.
2p: Riding the coasters and chatting w/ the crew in the lines.
3p: Watching John's $4 103 F "grape"drink melt a cup of ice in around 90 seconds.
4p: Getting a thumbs up from Jon Foreman and Drew Shirley outside the indoor coaster*.
5p: Being able to get tbKMD into the pavillion despite her having lost her ticket**.
6p: Soaking in Hawk Nelson while lying on cool grass under partly cloudy skies.
7p: Really good talk from a pastor from Queens. Learned a lot about Rdy2Ride.
8p: Am starting to like Skillet more. Adding the violin & cello were a great call.
9p: Switchfoot's Beyonce/Rhiannon version of "Gone".
10p: First ever listen to an incredibly uplifting song "Needle and Haystack Life" (see left)
11p: Watching 9 hungry youth try unsuccessfully walk-thru McDonalds drive-thru.
12a: Drinking 2 X-large diet cokes to stay awake for the drive back.
1a: Finding a open reststop to pee.
2a: Getting back to church safe and sound.
3a: The world's groggiest Monopoly game ever w/ Ry, APD, Chowda, and JR32
4a: Trying to stay awake and be banker at same time.
5a: Getting the rental van back & finding our car in the RDU lot.
6a: Returning to church for 120 minutes of sleep before pickup.
* - Dolberry conducted one of his famous interviews of Switchfoot's guitarist Drew Shirley who was wearing the same shirt I was (a lowercase people shirt). As always, Dolberry interviews are not a lot of fluff.
Dolberry: Hey Drew! Nice shirt.
Drew Shirley (pointing at my shirt and giving a victory hand gesture): "Awesome!"
** - It should be noted that she successfully managed about 1000 other things throughout the course of the day.
Switchfoot introduced their new song "Needle in a Haystack Life" w/ a quote from Einstein: "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. This is a song about being that second type of a person." Check out the song to the left. It's better than "Hello Hurricane" ... which held the title best song ever for about a week and a half. We are all "once in a lifetime" people.

Sounds like a great day! Why monopoly so late? Why not sleep? I'm sleepy just reading about it :)
I really like that quote and I'm waiting for a comercial to listen to the song. Hope the rest of your week is a great one.
