apiaries

i forgot my lunch this morning. that always makes me feel roughly 7 years old. i hate it when that happens. thankfully i did have some canned soup in the drawer so i didn't starve, but it wasn't very good either. regardless, i appreciated it because it meant i was able to stay in and read over lunch instead of wasting it by driving to amherstview. i've started a new book, and i'm really digging it. i went to indigo with the strict purpose of browsing til something caught my eye. but for some reason the moment i entered the store "the red tent" popped into my head and i selected it immediately. i'm not too disappointed because i'm really enjoying it, but i like browsing.

the weekend was the perfect amount of full and not busy:
shannon and i watched the santa claus parade thru her bedroom window on above grecos. we drank beer and gave each float a letter grade. the average was a C-. shanno said the float in the soo is better. that did not surprise me. ktown's parade is more like a marching advertisement. b picked me up when it was over and drove me back home by way of the hill on ordinance. it was the first hill he'd started on in the mojomobile, and it boded well for him. i think it increased his standard driving confidence 3 fold. then late late later that night we saw the final movie of the millennium trilogy at the screening room. woooo. it was great. it was a weekend of great movies because yesterday afternoon we saw harry potter 7 part 1. it was good. i really liked it. it was a highly enjoyable weekend. my only regret is that i stayed up reading too late and i felt a bit ill waking up this morning.

i'm preaching again next sunday. i started writing it on saturday, but am only about a quarter of the way in. i'm enjoying it. preaching stretches me in good ways. it forces me to really spend time contemplating things and to seek to understand enough to explain it. i've heard that teachers learn from what they teach. i wouldn't be surprised if i learn more thru the experience than anyone else does, although i do strive to present relevant and educational things.

i was amazed how husky your singing voice was.
