Bon Voyage

Over the pond I go. Be back in two weeks. I'll try to provide an update or two if I can. Bye.

5 days

...until I leave for Cambodia to minister and encourage. I covet your thoughts and prayers over the next couple of weeks. It will be a lot of traveling and being an American in a communist country always presents some risk. I will be reachable by email at mattgritter@hotmail.com. Love you all!!

Best,

Matt

No more Mr.nice guy

You know that saying nice guys finish last?? Well, I'm officially sick of getting, excuse my language, screwed. SO BEWARE. I'm turning over a new leaf and laying down the law. No more pushover and softy Matt. I gave you fair warning.

Amazing Fish

World Record Pike, this will blow your mind. Look at this - It's a keeper !!

If the weight holds up it would be a new world record pike. It says 56 lbs., the old record was in Germany, 55 lbs. 1 oz. Caught on a river in Canada (this looks like the Detroit River near Boblo Island) 56 inches. The pike it's eating is 36inches. It grabbed a 36" pike- look at the pictures- you'll be amazed!! The 56 lbs pike was never hooked, it would not let go of the 36inch pike.

Thanks for the new service tax, Jennifer ;)

Beckmann vs. Granholm

I made this music playlist at MyFlashFetish.com.

My solution:

Put a penny on cigarettes, put a penny on gas, and reduce every legislators salary to reflect the median wage of the people they are representing. State budget resolved.

Research your vote

Regardless of your political affiliations or aspirations, please make it a priority to research potential presidential candidates prior to the upcoming election. Don't just go to the poll and and punch a ticket based on popularity or party line. Know why it is that you're supporting the candidate that you've chosen and know where they stand on today's relevant issues. Electing someone to the highest office in the land is no light matter and that person should be held accountable for their representations on the political trail. After all, it's you and I that have to live with their decisions.
