I will be on bidwell parkway tonight. Thanks for asking.
A couple other bullet points, since I never post anymore.
-A friend from the last church I served died last week. Funerals are never fun, but they really stink when you are older than the deceased.
-I am all for health care reform, but every two weeks, a big part of my paycheck goes to BlueCross, who is lobbying against it. If I were serious about what I believe in, I would forego health insurance until everyone can get it.
-Yes, cash for clunkers, is more about stimulating the economy and getting the auto makers back in business then cleaning up the air. I almost took the deal, because we could use a four-door instead of a pick-up, and we would never get $4500 for the truck otherwise. But I haven't, and the program will likely die before I get to it.
-Steelers training camp has begun. I love it.
-I need to play disc golf a few more times while I still can. If you want to join, let me know. I can share discs and provide some instruction.
-working (still) on a logo for the church. It looks like we will have a bright, urban, classic, lampost as our pic, with a font that is simultaneously old and fresh. The pic will come when it is done.
-I took a dead rat out of my backyard yesterday. That had been nesting next door. Dead rats aren't as good as pet rats or lab rats, but after those, dead rats are the best kind.
-I want to ride a bike from Buffalo to Albany on the Erie Canal. Maybe next summer.

Bidwell party?Every week at the Bidwell concerts, a group of people goes whole hog and sets up a table with good food and drink and basically puts everybody else to shame with their commitment to enjoying the show. Maybe this can be an inspiration for us?
I am willing to arrive early and set up a table. I'm thinking every (e:peep) BYOB and an appetizer/snack to share. What do you think?
Next Tuesday is Outer Circle Orchestra.

They Where Pretty Good, Haven't seen them in years that sounds like a good time, Now Just have to think of what to bring since I don't cook. BYOB does that mean that they let you drink stuff like Beer, and Mike's hard lemonade?

That would be great. Can actually make next week's. Tiny, Outer Circle is a little reggae, pop, rock in one happy little mishmash

I don't know if setting up a food table at a music show qualifies as commitment to enjoying the show... more like a commitment to picnicking. Heheh ;-)

Computer peeps!My friend Thomas is a computer guy (Web stuff, I'm pretty sure) and got laid off. Anybody know anybody that's hiring?
I also have another friend that is looking for a pastor/preaching/chaplain gig, but I figure the former job has a better chance on (e:strip).

Drew, if you can let me know any specifics about Thomas I can see if he might be a good fit for either of our current openings, but I'd need to know this week, otherwise we've got some candidates lined up already.
Is he a programmer, or a web designer, or whatever, and any sample work/sites he has up anywhere.
Cheers :)

And Neville is great. (he's also a social worker in the trauma ICU at ECMC.)

11. Temperature. It's ALL about the temperature for me. I should have been an arthropod.

I am up for Frisbee anytime. I promise to be less drink and more good next time too!
If you want company next summer for the Erie Canal trip, I could be persuaded easily.
Email me the neighbors address and I will look into the rat problem.
tiny--no good reason.
Haven't played the frisbee in forever.
And you don't post anymore because...?
