Science (non) Fiction

ok, hate to do this, but it’s easier in bullet form:

~Check out my dad’s pictures in the link on the right - they’re mostly from his most recent trip (and some from last year’s) to an orphanage in Kenya, where he spent almost a month helping out with construction and carpentry projects - the pics are a really cool ’snapshot’ of his time there, mostly focused on the people.

~I saw Prairie Home Companion tonight with Dad - while it was good and funny (especially Dusty and Lefty, played by John C. Reilly and Woody Harrellson), we both agreed that we’d probably rather listen to the show than watch a movie about the show (which was not just because Garrison does have a ‘radio face’ - he’s kinda funny to watch :lol:). But it was nice to see a bunch of the ‘radio people’ on the big screen (Sue Scott and Tim Russell, plus the Guys AllStar Shoe Band and the Sound Effects Guy) mixed in with all the Hollywood celebs.

~We went to a Bar Mitzvah this morning at a Messianic Jewish church (synagogue?) - it was actually a regular worship service for them, with the Bar Mitzvah part in the middle. This was my first Bar Mitzvah (even if it was atypical), and it was really cool - the boy (now a ‘man’ I guess) had a great voice and gave a fabulous speech about what his faith and being Jewish means to him - it was amazing for a 13 year old! It was really cool to watch the practice of the ancient traditions from such a young man.
