It's about 12:30 a.m., and I just put Sarah-Belle back to sleep, again. Poor little one has a cold. But she's awful cute when she's tired and babbling.
Lets let ramble, shall we?
Currently reading third to last book in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series. I'dpersonally like to say, (possibly to the chagrin of some friends who may be so inclined), but i'd take the Royal Navy over pirates any day.
rather enjoying Voices in the Wilderness, a little church program I've got going, with two people from our church. Our task is to study and perform sections of scripture as dramatic monologue. Hopefully we will do this in front of the congregation right after Pentecost. Feels good to be flexing the Theatre muscles again, though I find that knowing stuff intuitivley (sp? aw, frak it, its after midnight, I don't give a darn about spelling right now) fiof;ghdf;jbjkbg;jkgbjkbg;bkb
I digress, stuff that I may know intuitively does not translate easy to teaching others. I gotta keep reminding myself that though I am doing this to use my talents (I hope) that God gave me, it can't ultimately be about me, it has to be about somethingbigger than me. I pray for humbleness, and yet I can be an arrogant bastard, needing my time in the limelight. Good thing I'm too much of a heretic to become a pastor, I'd might get a big head. Bigger than the one I have already. Seriously, i have one huge noggin.
Lisa and I just joined a Community Supported Agriculture group, a series of 5 organic farms located locally around the county, and in return for buying a share of the venture, we get fresh produce in season every week. We share the risks (drought, flood, etc), but we also share the rewards, as well as supporting local agriculture. Means we'll have to learn to eat what's put in front of us, but that's not a bad thing. If m garden grows this year, it'll be doubly bountiful. Still gonna eat fresh veggies in the winter, but hopefully i can store some frm the growing season. Next stop, chickens/ducks (hopefully in the next few years)
Tai Chi is going well. Looking forward to the seminar this july in Newark. Excited about meeting Master Brian's teacher. I remember years ago when I first started learning, i'd never imagined I'd actually be a martial artist. Not that i'm anything special, but its become a part of me, and I like having it there. Plus, as my body gets stronger, my spirit seems to follow.
