Halloween

This is the day before Halloween, and this time last year, we were told we won the 100th episode of Wife Swap. It's been an eventful year.

Now, on the eve of Halloween, Wife Swap has a whole new meaning. Balloon Boy is all over the news, and the big Halloween costume this year is Balloon Boy and his father -- even Regis and Kelly featured these two costumes.

I wonder what surprises tomorrow holds. Celebrate!

Andrew College

Today I take Andrew down to St. Johns River Community college. He is signing up for dual enrollment. He will be continuing doing Florida Virtual School for high school while taking college classes.

I am so proud of him, he took the college test and scored in the high 90's.
I homeschooled him since birth and even in the womb. Andrew is a very confident young man, he has listened to hypnosis tapes since very young.

BALLOON STORY

It has been a week since I was catapulted into the national media. I am still trying to catch my breath. When the news broke on Thursday and I was called from the hairdresser that did my hair on the show to say Richard Heene was flying a saucer over the Denver airport, I immediately put the TV on. My first thought was, "Oh my God, Richard, what have you done?" Then I started to think about my time with him on Wife Swap. Would he really do something like this? I didn't want to believe it at first, but then I started to put things together that he said and realized that my first impression was probably right.

Before the Wife Swap show aired and we were picked to be on the show with him, I had a dream and I woke up crying and knowing I was going to win and go to his home. I told the children and Sam that they needed to be very brave and strong, because it was going to be heavy duty.

Before I left for the taping, Sam told me to please leave the extra terrestrials out of this show. I said that if I did that, they would probably end up in the back yard. Well, that's exactly what happened. I had to carry Richard's flying saucer in the back yard. I did a past life regression on him and he revealed that he was on a Spaceship.

The morning before the Bubble Boy story broke last week, I felt very strongly that something was about to happen. My girlfriend Mary also confirmed that she felt something was about to happen.

About a week ago, I had a very distinct dream where I knew that I was going on the Radio. I didn't know that it would be of this magnitude. In the last week, I have spoken to reporters in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia as well as every news network in the United States.

Yet I am not receiving any e-mails. I know people out there would like to contact me. If you don't receive a reply by e-mail, feel free to call me at 904 471 7792.
Today I was quoted in People magazine. I am not sure why I was chosen to reveal this family, but I definitely know it was no accident.

During the Wife Swap taping, while I was doing the rule change, I warned Richard Heene that his science experiment would blow up in his face one day.
And boy did it.

There is a lot more to this story, but we will have to wait to see it all played out.
In the meantime, I am trying to stay calm and ready for whatever may show up.

HALLOWEEN, October 31st.

For many years Halloween has always been a day of change for me. As far back as when Andrew was a baby. In 1994, I left California to move to Colorado. We left on Halloween. It was hard leaving California, I loved it and I must admit I was leaving my business and my family, so that added to my tension.

Then two years later when Justin was a baby, I left Colorado on Halloween to move to Florida.

In 2001, another major change happened to me at Halloween. I moved into my home by the beach.

Since then, Halloween has always had some particular power. Last year, 08, on Halloween day was when I was notified that I had been selected for the 100th episode of Wife Swap. Halloween was a holiday that was not celerated in England, so it was all new to me as a teenager.

WALKING THE BEACH AFTER A RAIN STORM

Last night a friend of mine came over for us to walk the beach. It was raining quite a bit in the afternoon, but as soon as we arrived at the beach at 6pm, the rain had stopped and the sky was beautiful. We were the only ones at the beach. There were large groups of birds sitting on the sand and as we walked they flew up in the air in formation. We kept walking enjoying the perfect night. Then out in the sea we saw a school of dolphins.

Not one or two, a whole bunch of them. My friend was kind of upset she didn't bring her camera, but we both breathed in the perfect peace.

Promising to remember this beauty in our minds. After the beach we went and had some appetizers and listened to soft acoustic music.

It was a lovely evening.

DEALING WITH COMPUTERS

I think one of the most spiritual challenging things we face in todays age is the computer. Boy do we love it when it is doing what we need. We are able to stay in touch with people, do our work and write that wonderful book. But when it lets us down, it really challenges us to be patient and to find other ways. Kind of like dealing with small children or our teenagers.

On Monday my son's computer decided not to work, it isn't very old and was still under warranty. Little did we know that the warranty entailed giving our computer to Best Buy for two to three weeks. Sure I'm lucky its still under warranty, but two to three weeks!

So we drudgingly pulled out our laptop, Andrew connected it to the monitor and he is able to work on his virtual school assignments.

But now today, I asked him to burn me some CD's and make inserts for my CD's and his CD/DVD track is not working. So there again the computer does not cooperate. But to get upset serves no purpose, I called a friend and she suggested getting it done at a printing place.

So that's what I did for the time being. Its not easy when we become reliant on something or someone else to do what we need done. Nobody sees it the way we do. Even our computers.

I guess its time to go for a walk and have back up plans.
