Other Weekend Thoughts

August 25, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Had a great dinner with the Dell’Aqua’s on Friday night in their new home just up the street from the church.
  • Lisa and I are not really big on cooking so we eat out a lot.  It was nice having a homemade meal.
  • Saturday we saw the Broadway touring show of the Lion King down at the Kennedy Center in DC.
  • OH MY GOODNESS!
  • The story of course was familiar and the singing and acting while excellent wasn’t earth shattering either…
  • It was the costuming and special effects that just still has me shaking my head.
  • Click here to get a brief glimpse of some of what I’m talking about.
  • I kept leaning over and saying to Lisa, “Can we get that for United?”  Just one awesome effect after another…amazing!
  • Went back to my uncle’s house then for dinner with about 20 other relatives…it’s fun catching up with everyone as we celebrated Christmas in August.
  • Yesterday at church I had at least a half dozen people tease me about falling and spraining my ankle…everything from time to pick out a nursing home to maybe I’d better get one of those medical alert thingies to wear around my neck.
  • “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”
  • I’m really enjoying the 9:15 Experience…
  • Really liked that during the special I could hear people getting into the music that was selected…there was laughter, some “ah-ha” I know that one’s and clapping along.
  • 10:45 just sat there…hmmm wonder what the difference was?
  • Last night we had dinner with some friends whose little girl starts Kindergarten this week.   Seems just like yesterday that we were holding her just moments after she was born.
  • And don’t even get me started on my niece whose 9th birthday was yesterday….my goodness maybe I am getting old.
  • I did recently get an AARP card in the mail by accident…maybe I should start using it.   :)
