I partly would like to write a bit of poetry in commemoration of a cross country trip and the preparations of the traveler. Too bad I'm not quite in that mood. ;)

Today was good. I went to church and actually got there a little before the service started. I nearly met a girl who was visiting the church for the first time. She sat in the row behind me. Well, she sat down in the row I was going to sit in so I decided to sit in the row in front of her. Darryl's Bible was already there and I wanted to save space for whatever other friends would sit there. Rachel is the only one that showed up of the group that usually sits there. It was communion Sunday and there were a lot of announcements, it seemed, so they didn't have the midservice "greet your neighbors" time while the kids were dismissed to their classes. Because of that I had less opportunity to casually turn around and introduce myself. That's okay though. I don't really want to start something new with someone new so close to the time when RR and I can actually spend time together. I mean, that'd just complicate things unnecessarily. I don't want to do that. I did feel a little bad about her sitting by herself. Eventually some other people came in and sat down beside her and I'm not terribly good at making people feel welcome and at ease. It's not my gift :)

The sermon was based in the second half of Galatians 3. It was about the law and it's relationship to Christ as well as being descendants of Abraham and children of God because of our faith in him. It was my week to help clean up after church so I did.

I went to the grocery store and bought some soda in anticipation of several people coming over for a cookout Tim called for lunch. I got home and cleaned the grill slightly, put the soda in the fridge and poured some ice into a separate container. No one showed up for lunch. Some people did eventually show up later. Most of my afternoon was spend hanging around not doing much. Eventually we played some Worms 3D and then went to see Kung Fu Hustle at the cheap theater. I liked Shaolin Soccer better. This had it's funny parts but the violence was a bit too graphic in parts.

After that we watched the fireworks over at Liberty. Then we went home. I talked to RR for a bit then watched disc 4 of Gungrave. Now I'm here looking forward to tomorrow. I don't have any plans. I may work some at home. I don't think I'll go into work though.

I'm getting tired. I wonder if RR is does with Kim yet?

Good night.
