That guy from Texas did preach to the wives on Sunday. Often times at NP just when you think you’ve figured out the pattern, they do something else, but this kinda makes sense. Usually when there’s a guest speaker it’s because Andy is out of town, but he was here all three weeks. The first sermon wasn’t earth-shattering, in my book…kind of an introduction. But after hearing sermon two, it hit me. The NP people knew what he was going to say, having heard him deliver these messages somewhere else…they wanted those messages delivered at NP. Sermon 2 in particular was more hard-hitting than Andy usually delivers, and sermon 3 was also on the controversial side, though Vonnie fell all over himself to make sure he wasn’t misunderstood. The messages did have the same post-modern point of view, in that like Andy, he only used his life as an example.
This week I got to know the older brother of a family at Will’s science school, a friend of young George Ewing. The boy will be a freshman at Tech this fall, and is planning on walking onto the basketball team. We’ll see how he does. Another boy will be playing for a JuCo in Kennesaw that I hadn’t heard of…Calvert College, or something like that.
The Fox 5 10 pm news ran an interview with the entire Ewing family Thursday night, talking about their mother/wife. Bet they’ll be glad when the media gets off their backs. Ceil is dropping by this afternoon, since she is helping their neighbor get ready for her daughter’s recital.
Thursday night Matthew and I watched the R-Braves. Matthew was interested because Pena was catching, whom he remembered. First he said “I thought he wasn’t playing any more”…he was thinking about Eddie Perez, who is helping Blauser in Pearl. I didn’t stick around for the Blauser interview. Then Matthew saw for the first time some of those amazing plays on Fox Sports, like the end of the Cal/Stanford game, the HR off Canseco’s head, and the minor leaguer running through the outfield wall.
JS got to see his son make a bunch of good plays at SS. It appears Jonathan is learning all the ropes so he can follow in his father’s shoes. Matt Stewart commented that son always plays better when dad attends. The media loves the Mets and even the lowly Phils, as well as the BoSox/Yanks rivalry. I’m sure other fans feel the same way, particularly the Cards and Astros. Junior must love being out of the spotlight in Cincy. Had the Mets won 14 straight division championships…
Sellouts…they’re great fun, but the crowd is tough to navigate…kinda like North Point! We had fun at the Red Sox game.
I must’ve jinxed LaRoche, talking good about him. I like how Skip talks about no-hitters…he knows nothing he says has any effect on the outcome of the game.
Wednesday night’s thunderstorm knocked out our cable for the evening…on a night we had nothing to do but watch the game. The cable was back on this morning. Around 11 pm I got on line to see who won, and reviewed the box score. Don’t know when we’ll get to a game…I’d like to see the Pirates, since it’s been the first of June since we’ve been, and Will and Matthew have never seen them. But I may be back in Charlotte during that series.
I had thought about going to Ted’s both times we went to Longhorn last week.
In college I lived for a while behind Bennihana on Peachtree, in the Peachtree Park apartments.
All the cool people lived across Peachtree in those white apartments…Colonial Homes?
My experience has been that the stage shows are never better than the videos. At least it’s at the Fox. We went to see the Veggie-Tales (my favorite) stage show at the Fox.
X Men looked good…we haven’t seen Pirates yet, much less anything at the Picture Show lately. Will got Madden 2006 for 59 cents at Target, so he was busy. Matthew even tried it out. Not much else on tap for the weekend…may go to Macon Sunday to visit my parents.
