swampy, at my congregation, Grace Episcopal Cathedral, there is an announcement that all are welcome, that this is not the table of the Episcopalians, but that of the Lord. In our visitors book, in all the pews, there is all kind of info about us, and it says We want to get one thing straight. The answer to the question Can I take Communion here? is not Yes, but We hope you will!
Sorry to hear about the death at your church. That was one heck of a long marriage. My folks made it to sixty-three years. Is your DOK chapter involved in the reception afterwards?
No; Da Jungle didn’t kill me. And I still work there – I believe. Time will tell when I try to badge in tomorrow for a double. Saturday we went out by State College for a birthday (it was the kids first birthday so the traditional gift is firearms) and then we took the slightly, ever-so-slightly route past Knoebels. We keep several books of tickets stashed in the car for just such an emergency. And since we didn’t want to be irresponsible and drive tired we stayed over and went to the park again today. Well ------- we had to have breakfast somewhere. I did my best to wound several first-timers on the bumper cars (they shouldn’t have worn matching family reunion t-shirts ---- made them obvious targets) and ate meatloaf in the Oasis so I am recharged for the next couple weeks.
Oof. I just had a salad with blue cheese dressing and shredded cheddar. Then I nuked a package of Trader Joe’s pulled pork and made a sandwich on low-carb multi-grain bread with spicy dill pickle chips. And a Longboard Lager.
I’m stuffed.
