We had a great party to inaugurate our new deck tonight. A good number of people came from different parts of our life, all mixing together. It was a very good time. And I sit here and realize that I have done something (or not done something as the case may be) tonight that is highly uncharacteristic of me at a gathering like this - take pictures! Can you seriously believe that I took NOT ONE photograph tonight. I even got my camera out earlier to do so and never got to it. You'd think this was 1800 or something, when people got together with one another and couldn't record it in such a way. Good Lord! I actually feel bad about it - kind of sick, like I've lost something important. I don't guess I really have, but for me, it just feels very weird.
Thanks to all present. It was a very good time. Very good old friends, finally met face-to-face internet friends, fairly recently made friends. We love hosting people in our home. Next time, I assure you, camera will be IN hand.

is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus
is a burden without a reliever." Fulton J. Sheen

completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self." Henri Nouwen
