Wow, today was a long..but good...day. Did the church-thing this morning. That was a lot of fun... Music went okay, and even with some people out of town, we had a decent crowd. Only glitch this morning was when Dave fried BOTH portable USB drives we had...well, "he" didn't do it...but we don't know what did... At least we had Powerpoint for worship...

After church, Stacey had to work, but J-mo, Eli, Kailyn, and the "particle beam cannon" (Emma) went to O'Charley's. After a couple of drink mixups, my meal turned out to be good. Chicken fingers with chipotle sauce...mmmm... Another fun (and funny) meal playing a little "curb" racquetball...

After lunch, I met up with Jack, Dave, and Heavy E to mow Donny's lawn, then we mowed the church. Yard work is not NEARLY so bad as it is when it's 100 degrees in the summer. We knocked it out pretty quickly, even with a bunch of wasps harrassing us at Donny's.

After all this, J-mo, Stacey, Kailyn and I went to dinner at New China...where J-mo embarrassed Ivy about her new short haircut when she brought us our food.

Then we went to see Donny, who's taken a turn for the worse today...now he's developed pneumonia on top of having a mild stroke and the whole cirosis thing. So, he's still fighting for his life, it seems. And our prayers will continue...

KEY PHRASES OF THE DAY: "Hocus Cadabra." "Bring some Windex and some Brawny." "Hey, give the 'bonus prize' a call." "It wouldn't be church without a technology malfunction..." "Who's your favorite of the 3 stooges? Larry, Mo..or 'Curly?'" "My back itches." "So, shave it."
