What is happening?
Hard to believe what happened in Charleston but apparently the church and the community have come together and decided not to burn their neighborhoods. It is very sad, beyond comprehension what causes human beings to do these things.
The Big Rock ended last Saturday, the most exciting part was Monday when our First Presbyterian pew-mate and his crew won the Fabulous Fisherman portion.

I'm doing my best to keep her happy, we're planning a NYC trip in July.
I'll try harder next week, and I've got some funny stuff.
