Nixon Park, a quick tour
Went hiking yesterday at good ol’ Nixon Park, the park where I proposed to Jen so many months ago. If anyone remembers what day it was, please let me know before she reads this!
Welcome to my blog
I promise I won't update it very often. Again.
Missions Day
On March 30, Bethany UMC’s various Sunday School groups got together and had "Missions Day", a day to showcase local outreach missions. Too often we think that to have any impact we have to travel to Africa or South America. There’s plenty of people that need help right here. Each group made up displays and had sign-up sheets, brochures, and literature so that everyone could learn more about local needs.
Tulsa Time: Metcalfe Wedding
This past Friday, Jen and I were able to fly to Tulsa and take part in the wedding of Eugene and Amber Metcalf.
Idling away at airports
So right now I’m killing time, waiting to board my plane destined for Tulsa. The weather here in Chicago is poor, and my original departure of 7:55 is long since a memory. I brought but a single book (oops), and I’m nearly finished with it. On the bright side, I’m posting this from my iPhone. I don’t think I could go back to a phone that can’t surf the web. Plus the new website backend makes posting from the phone a lot easier and quicker than it was before. American Airlines even has a mobile version of their site so that you can get flight status quickly on an iPhone or Blackberry.
Visiting the clink
I've always been a fan of Sean Connery, but it pains me to tell you that he is not part of the Alcatraz United States Penitentiary tour. This came as quite a blow, but I was able to recover. CW & I got tickets in advance of our latest San Francisco trip. I made us miss our designated boat (I thought the walk would be nice & short; turns out it was nice & long). We were still able to catch the next boat, and finally check out what is probably the most famous prison in U.S. history.
