At last.\u00a0 A night where I was not the biggest loser at sheepshead.\u00a0 Bill Schmidt and I tied for high for the evening.\u00a0 I had great cards and some good luck, plus I’ve had a long lesson in sheepshead from masters.\u00a0 It was fun to do well at last.\u00a0 We’ll see if I’ve actually learned something as the games continue.<\/p>\n
Kate and I watched Mission to Mars, most of it.\u00a0 A surprising, hopeful Mars film.\u00a0 Many films about Mars end with everybody dying, but this one offered an improbable, but not impossible conceit about how life came to earth.\u00a0 What?\u00a0 You’ll have to catch it to find out.<\/p>\n

The presentation for Groveland took an odd, but interesting turn today as I got ready to get started.\u00a0 I had decided to face head on the question of UU identity by talking about identity development from a psycho-religious perspective.\u00a0 The idea was to offer resources Groveland could use to develop a UU identity.\u00a0\u00a0 When I began to write, I started with a couple of U-U jokes.\u00a0 Then I remembered an old anthroplogy lesson about joking behavior.\u00a0 Our jokes define the boundaries of our group; they are an important\u00a0device through\u00a0which\u00a0we can know who is\u00a0in our group and who is\u00a0not.\u00a0 I’ll explain this a bit more later, but the presentation should be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
Due to various things I didn’t exercise from Saturday through Tuesday.\u00a0 My back began to spasm and remind me one of the good reasons for all this time I spend with weights and flexibility work.\u00a0 So, I got back to it yesterday.\u00a0 Yesterday and today I did a particular series of movement exercises which go a long way toward a more limber me.\u00a0 They worked.\u00a0 All better now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
