The weekend… a quick sidetrip to Roanoke. We drove up after work on Thursday, I went to YS One Day on Friday, had a mini-photoshoot and then dinner with friends Friday night. A quick lunch with the fam on Saturday, and a long drive back home for church Sunday.
Kim’s Wednesday night kids group led in worship Sunday morning and Winn Collier preached. We had lunch with Winn, his family and the pastor and his wife. Then the youth hosted the Chili Cookoff fundraiser — it raised over $1,800 for this summer’s mission trip!
To-do list this week… not get sick. That’s really about it.
On the bookshelf… I started reading Cal Ripken’s Get In The Game — some great leadership insight! Then The Know It All (A.J. Jacobs). Hmm, not making it down the shelf very quickly.
What’s new… well, nothing really. But college baseball season has begun, which is very exciting. Now if it would just warm up, I might go watch somebody play.
Coming soon… ski trip Thursday night (it’s going to be 60 on Thursday. Is that a bad time to ski?), Charlottesville meeting Saturday morning and then a quiet afternoon. Not a whole lot…
The weekend… nice Valentine’s Day movie outing and dinner at an old favorite, Calabash. Then church all day Sunday.
To-do list this week… I finally finished Outliers!! (hence the blog post with the review). Now I’ve got The Know It All (A.J. Jacobs) and Cal Ripken’s Get In The Game, on top of regular school reading.
What’s new… well, nothing really.
Coming soon… a side trip to Roanoke this week with dual purposes. YS One Day is in Roanoke, and we haven’t been to visit Kim’s parents since Christmas. It will be good to get out of town for a few days, but we’ll be heading right back for church on Sunday.
the weekend… It’s mid-November, in Virginia. This weekend on our high school mini-retreat I jet skiied, went out on a boat, watched my kids go tubing. It was a blast. Then it turned cold, and it’s around 25 degrees at home now.
procrastinating? yes. paper’s due, discussion boards are due. internet is sparse, or $15/day. Panera is across the street, so I will be spending much of my week here. a stack of books to read, school work to finish before the end of the semester. it’s busy!
where I am… Nashville!!! Sitting a block off Broadway, enjoying the warmth of the southern sun. It’s probably 40 degrees here. We started setting up in the exhibit hall yesterday (Tuesday) and things get rolling tomorrow.
That’s all for now, too much to say, too little time. Now it’s back to work.
