I woke at twenty minutes to eight this morning. That is not good since I am usually up by five-thirty and at work by seven. Luckily, I don’t have to be at work until eight, at which time I am to be standing in front of my class line, saluting the flag with my students. [...]

The sun is shining. The sky is blue. It is currently 66 degrees outside and a high of 74 is predicted. I am off to the park for the Pastor Appreciation picnic. Burgers and hot dogs will be grilled. Volleyball and Frisbee will be played, and fun will be had.

The Fright Feast was wonderful, but Saturday found me scratchy voiced and suffering a sore throat. All that cackling and screaming took it’s toll.
