there are few things in life more pleasant than walking into the office and finding a fresh, unopened, five-pound bag of your favorite kind of coffee sitting on the counter. especially when you left the day before knowing that all the coffee was gone and you were going to be grumpy all the next morning if somehow the situation wasn't rectified in the few hours between leaving work and returning. ahh, the pleasures of working at coptix...
well, the weekend went well - though not quite as expected. cornerstone's congregational meeting went very well, though in true opc fashion we spent way too long talking about way too few issues. i think the agenda list had about 40 items on it, and we must have covered all of about 4. but, they were an important 4, and more than anything else, they gave me a better feel about where the church is, and where its going. its exciting for me to see more and more young people getting involved. geez, i sound old. "young people" being poeple 30ish and under (like me), not 16 and under. those types still aren't involved. oh wait - there aren't any.
but climbing, unfortunately did not happen - at least not for me. ari made it, but i think tim spent the weekend "in the books" as my high-school girlfriend used to say. oh, and i bought some running shoes. i started running after chris wildeman's wedding weekend (hmm... i wonder why) and told myself that if i could keep it up for a month, i could buy some shoes. so i did.

Posted by: MG at September 27, 2003 02:14 PMMy guess would be that you finally realize how in-shape or out of shape everyone has become after not seeing them in quite some time.
The last wedding I attended I realized how lovely everyone looked and how I couldn't fit into any of the dresses I had worn in the past. So not only was I out 150 bucks but I felt old and out of shape as well. Not a pleasant feeling. :]
Posted by: mihow at September 30, 2003 01:49 PMactually... wedding celebrations in these parts, as in other parts i would assume, are quite festive occasions. that is, they often include liberal consumption of certain items that aren't exactly good for the old cardio-vascular system, (think nicotine, alcohol, etc...) which in turn motivated by desire to start running again.
Posted by: andy at September 30, 2003 02:08 PMWell, yes, there's that as well. How could I forget about the binge drinking?
