October? Really?
How can that be? Wasn't this going to be the summer of John? I planned to go to a tractor pull, stay out all night, and bite into a big hunk of cheese like it's an apple. What happened? It's autumn already? No way...............
Well anyway we went to a great wedding last weekend, lots of fun in Clayton Saturday night and slept in late enough that the maids woke us up. Wow, been a long time since that's happened, and my legs didn't hurt even after all of that dancing that I didn't do Saturday night.
Nor did they ache after unloading a tractor trailer load of pumpkins at church Wednesday night. I came home about as nasty and wet as I could get. TAR was not amused. Need a pumpkin? Stop by First Presbyterian on Arendell and pick yourself a nice one out. Ask for a discount of you're so inclined............
And now time for a joke: a doctor examined a man in his office one day and pronounced him physically fit. As the man walked through the office on his way out (literally) he had a massive coronary and fell over dead. The doctor looked at his nurse and asked "can you help me turn him around so it looks like he was coming in?" Ba-BOOM
And speaking of increased sensory detections, ever wonder why blind people never skydive? Tune in later for the answer
Catching up on paperwork and October plans this week, and then head for Florida for the HARDI meeting beginning Saturday. I've got a few interviews, lots of meetings, and at this time a round of golf Monday morning. This will be a good meeting. Positive attitude, this will be a good meeting.......
And our Stewardship campaign begins next Thursday the 11th with our Pacesetters Dinner, followed by the congregational kickoff Sunday the 14th. Please pray for this campaign, or better yet, send a check, a big check, thanks.
On my in-office scanner I have a channel which picks up in flight emergencies; I am not in the office very much and rarely hear anything, but when I do it is usually a heart attack, stroke, or seizure. Today I heard a male flight attendant telling someone that a woman passenger lost an envelope with a lot of cash in it, and she thinks it may have fallen out of her pocket when she was going through TSA screening. He then went on to describe the woman and her clothing, and that she removed her sweater during screening. He described the sweater color as periwinkle. Ba-BOOM. Periwinkle. Now try as you might you just can't write stuff that funny. Periwinkle.
Want to see a great picture? Here is a happy and healthy baby grinning it up for her daddy; mighty good news from the little Michelin baby.
