There are many tasks I need to buckle down and work on the rest of this week. The sermon is coming but it has not come easily. The quiet in my house now that everyone has gone home is good but it is easy to procrastinate and otherwise find ways to waste time. The computer [...]

Wedding coming – Saturday!
This space will be a bit quiet over the next two days. We will be busy and I doubt that I will get too near a computer. Maybe I will pick up some wifi with my iPod but who knows. The emphasis will be on getting these two married. Tomorrow we must get the boy [...]

Empanadas
The folks from the lab presented me and my partner each with a big tray of home made Chilean empanadas and some home made fresh salsa. We had about half of them for supper tonight. MMmmn they were good. Mind you I did have to go and brush my teeth before leaving for practice – [...]
