Mowing

Mowed the lawn for the first time this year. It was a good mow, not a lot of back trouble, and not so warm that you are parched by the end. Love this guy's pictures on Flickr.

Don't look at this picture

I am still wondering about the almonds?

PPD Rain

That's just wierd. How many times has a Seattle Mariners game been postponed on the road this season? 6-7? How many times at home? None.

Is today recycling day?

It could be that I am too dependent on google to actually try to remember anything anymore or maybe I'm getting soft in the head but I can never remember if it recycling day or not. It comes every other week but all too often I will bag up the number <4 plastics and aluminum, drag the bag out to the "curb" and it will turn out that I am one week off. This has been three weeks in a row.
The recycling guys have given up on me?

Graceland

Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,

I am flying to Nashville on Sunday and then driving to Asheville, NC to attend Ken Davis' Dynamic Communicator's Workshop. My sermons and teaching have lost some of their mojo over the last six months (two years?) so I am looking forward to being challenged-inspired by the ghost of Elvis.

Nashville to Asheville. Through cradle of the civil war. I always liked Paul Simon, but I think he was better when he was "edgy" and younger.

Post Script: Dang! I guess guess Graceland is actually in Memphis.
