Wednesday
A cold and dreary middle-of-the-week comes to a close.

I started the work day by instigating an hour-and-a-half long discussion about the pastor in NC who told Democratic Party members in his congregation that they needed to repent or resign.” We covered a lot of ground in that hour. I didn’t intend for it to go on as long as it did, bit I’m glad that it did. It was good.

As it was raining, yet again, I didn’t mow the lawn today. I frittered away some of the post-work hours by playing X-Men: Legends. I’ve been stuck on a section for a few days now. “But I’m tryin’, Ringo. I’m tryin’ real hard to be a shepherd.” But, I’m trying to avoid looking up a walk-through or asking someone where I’m going wrong. I’d prefer to work through it on my own. *sigh* No rest for the wicked, I guess. Especially when you’re trying to be one of the good guys.

I picked up from the airport this evening and then headed back to his place to hang out for a bit. Mary and Chris dropped in a short while later. arrived a little after them. Nyx, Nox and I went to one of the local Village Inns; they had dinner, I had a couple of cups of hot chocolate. (Gotta maintain the skin tone, you know…)
