World Cup Soccer...
This weekend reminded me of the Billy Joel song, “And So it Goes”.
Started off with golf on Friday at the Brattleboro Country Club, no I’m not one of THOSE people, I played in a fundraising event for the local school for the deaf. Then it was time for some World Cup Soccer viewing down at the pub. Always good times! Watched a bit of Monty Python’s “Meaning of Life” although, I fell asleep.
Saturday was a day for helping people, watching World Cup soccer and moving my office. The office is still in shambles, but that’s alright too. The Soccer part was the good bit, I love world class soccer, there isn’t much better. After the final game we hung down at the pub, it was a good/interesting evening. The two guys (we were there with three women) were dismissed to the upstairs, we were allowed to bring drinks and food and that was about it. It was all our fault too, the ladies apparently thought that “the dumb guys” can’t multitask (ie, play darts, talk and listen to them at the same time). Any good looking lady says the word “thong” or “huggy dress” within earshot and I’ll learn to multitask faster than you can say “boo”. So the evening ended with me taking two beautiful ladies home, one to her house, and one to mine. Good evening for me! :-)
Same ole on Sunday, except that I got to go visit some friends that I haven’t seen in a very long time, so that was cool. Oh yeah! I got to kayak too, that’s always fun. I’ve only done it twice, but someday I’d like to do more. My oldest daughter would like to kayak with me sometime, so maybe that would be a good daddy/daughter day.
I had an interesting discussion with an older gentleman Sunday evening. You see, our church is going through a revision process (read: strategic planning, for any business people out there) and it seems to be causing more grief than anything else. After two hours of conversation it turns out the older guy is basically just upset at the amount of money spent to figure out what we already know (that our church is focused inward and that Jesus wants us to tell the world about him and his love) and it seems to be a question of method that causing trouble. So that was interesting, finding out that at the beginning of a conversation you think you’re miles apart in opinion from someone and by the time you has through it, you realize you were about two inches apart, two inches can be dealt with.
I suppose that is enough for today.
BS
