Perhaps I shouldn't look so happy in this picture, since the reason the Harrises and I came together was to attend the funeral of Bruce Reith, one of my brother and Dave's best friends growing up.
However, it was really nice to see them, especially since recently they had sent us a scrapbook of pictures for the Fortieth Anniversary. Pam and Dave were steady youth group attenders and were married in our building as well. Pam is soon to become a Lay Minister in the Anglican church in Vernon BC. Dave is still an air traffic controller.
After a yummy meal of Hispanic-type foods, we had a time of worship in song and prayer, followed by viewing and discussing a Vineyard training DVD about worship whose title escapes me at the moment. ("Experiencing Worship"? "Worship is a Heart-Shaped Balloon"??)

This was a Dinner Theatre fundraiser for St. John's Ambulance. I played King Roland the First (mythically) of England. I can't tell you much about it, because we might redo it next year at a different venue. This time I'll do a better job of advertising. (I'm in another Murder Mystery on Mar. 3, but it's sold out.)
Anyone got any pix of the Crokinole tourney?
