unconnected thoughts
I'm embarrassed to like Beauty and the Geek, but I like it.
Maybe I like it because I am almost as Geeky, but not quite.
It can't be because of the girls in bikini's right?
I want nachos.
My ear hurts--I'm working on making it better.
Dinner was chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. I get to eat like a kid when I go to Vacation Bible School.
My wife is smart. She shoes it on estrip and so many other ways.
I miss playing cards--I did it all the time in Pittsburgh, but haven't found a game here.
Janelle has old clients from her job in Pittsburgh visiting this weekend. I think its going to be hectic having four people with D.D. and 2 staff in our house. I think it will be fun, too.
I have an audition on Saturday as well. I need to create a character that gives good advice without being cheesy.
The weather was perfect today.
Vincents Cheney video is amazing.
I'm glad football season is near.

Driving to state college
That meant that the driving was slower, but also prettier.
Don't go to state college on a football weekend (especially if you are like me, and a fan of Pitt), but any other time, central PA might make a good weekend getaway. My hunch is that you can get a room REALLY cheap, if there is nothing at the University to create demand.
I haven't done the research yet, but in addition to the best ice cream in the world (Ben and Jerry learned how to make ice cream at Penn State), there are affordable bars and restaurants, and probably some nice places to hike and/or bike.
Oh, and by the way, this is last call for fantasy (American) football. Spaces are still available!

Elmood Village Celebration of Community
Right now I am thinking some spiritual, but not religious music. Some readings from different traditions, a time to say "thank you" and a time to ask for help. Hopefully, the whole thing will be 30-45 minutes.

Highs and lows
My sweet dog now has diarrhea, and bugged me (and my wife) to let him about about every two hours last night.
I've got a lot of work that I can do from home today, which will allow me to cook some rice and nurse him back to health, as soon as I say good bye to my parents.
Yes, my dog waited until my family was here to stink up the entire house. Thanks, Buckly.

Tonight
Tomorrow I get breakfast with my family before they go. I think they've already done Pano's. Anyone have another breakfast place to recommend?
Should be fun. We even get to host my Grammy overnight.

Fun stuff coming up . . .
In addition to the regular goings on at my church (like worship with sermons from yours truly, every Sunday at 10am), there are three special events this month.
1. My "installation." Ok. I will be the first to say that installations for people are weird. Dishwashers get installed, not people. But the rules say that I have to be "installed," so that's what we are doing. Which basically means that friends and people from other churches join in having a celebration that thanks God that I am the pastor at the church. So it's the closest thing to a "Drew party," that I will ever let the church have. Still, there is a guest speaker and a reception with gourmet mini-pizzas afterwards. Special music, too. It happens this Sunday at 7pm.
2. Vacation Bible School. Wow. You thought "installation" was badly named. Why would kids want to go to school on vacation? Bible school at that? Still, its better than it sounds. Lots of fun for the kids, and I will have a special class for the grown ups. Why is that fun? Because the kids are studying old testament stories and I am teaching the "adult" versions of them--and they are pretty darn intriguing. Plus, everybody gets a free dinner. Gotta like that, right?
3. The Elmwood Village celebration of Community. This is on the 25th, right after the last act on the Saturday night of the Elmwood Arts Fest. It's not just my church, but lots of different communities from around the Elmwood strip thanking God/a higher power/whoever/each other for the nice things about this place and asking God/whoever/etc. to help us in the ways that we fall short. We're going to sing some happy uplifting songs, too. All that, and the it will be quick enough to let everyone get on with their Saturday Night celebration. What could be better?
Good stuff going on at Lafayette Church. Hope to see you there. Shameless plug over.

been a while . . .
I also took a quick sample of the garden walk. Also nice.
It inspired me. I will have a nice water garden next year.
