Hermitry

My wife occasionally accuses me of having turned into a hermit. I can only respond, “turn into?“

But this week’s weather in Dallas just made things worse. I made a brief excursion after work on Monday — and then we didn’t leave the house again until Saturday. Normally, this wouldn’t quite get to me as much as it would to other people, per my wife’s observation. But the kids stayed at home, too, as local school districts cancelled nearly the entire week.

So today, the ice and snow have started to thaw. My mother and sister took the kids to see a movie, and here I am sipping my soy latte and blogging from a café-bookstore while pondering which e-reader to buy. Yeah, so maybe I would have envisioned a more exciting release to freedom.

But it’ll do.

Congregation changes

We’re changing congregations in a couple of weeks. A nearby congregation (in fact, it’s closer than our current one) needs ministers, and so today we made and announced the decision to change. I’ll have more to say about it when we actually wrap things up; it hasn’t hit me yet.

But tonight, we did go take a few pictures of the kids at our current meeting place. Click on them for bigger versions. Sorry they’re not very clear, but that’s as good as it gets on my old Treo 700w.
