Blog time 1730 sitting in living room sipping tonic water.
We all rolled out of bed before 0700. Temps were below freezing but expected to get up to 50.
I had a quick breakfast before we headed out to the 0900 service at Trinity Lutheran.
My how things have changed. Young Pastor Dan today said he is organizing a NCAA BB tournament pool. Yes folks gambling in a Protestant church. In 1962 while stationed on Midway Island the Navy Catholic Chaplin organized a sports pool. It was well received. The Sailors would put in a dollar. With over 2,000 Sailors participating some of the prizes were substantial. It was a great morale booster. Being stationed on a small island with no girls for a year the Sailors needed a booster.
The Protestant Chaplain in his Sunday sermon blasted the sports pool as sinful gambling. Needless to say the Catholic Chaplains were liked by all Sailors.
After the service we headed to Meijer's for supplies and gas for the Escape.
At home took a two mile walk. Quick lunch and then nap.
We decided that Ms P was well enough to take a short walk. A short walk is 0.75 miles.
I finished my outdoor activity with an eight mile bike ride.
Nancy is fixing beans and rice for dinner tonight. Will finish reading the GRP and watch 60 Minutes. I hope we watch another episode of Paranoia on Netflix. I am hooked.
