Engagement Party

Who knew?

Forking --- I'm doing it wrong

The first time we were eating dinner.   I tried handing him a plate + silverware.  Instead, the fork flew at him and missed his foot by a couple inches.

The second time was a success!  We were playing the game where my hands are under his, then I try to slap the top of his hands, and he pulls away before I "win."  I slapped his hand (hard) down onto his fork. 

I'm doing it wrong.

Social Obligation or Voluntarily Attended?

I'm using a 10 pt scale (where 0 is obligation and 10 is voluntary).  The ratings are based on one weekend from October --- not the general case. 

Wedding ~ 3
Ordination ~ 6
Spearhead concert ~ 7


Lessons learned:

I couldn't come up with a good lesson relating to weddings.  Sorry!

Lutherans don't sing the hymn with the (passing) mention of wizards for ordinations.  I should be disappointed, but the organist that left Saint Andrew's a while back came for the service and it was fantastic to hear him play.

The concert was fun, but escaping from the insanity of EMI testing for a couple days was even better.  The Spearhead concert would have been rated even higher if it'd just been Michael Franti (Say Hey - I Love You).  You could tell it was a rock concert by the volume :)
