It rained a little over 2.5 inches yesterday.

Cleaned off all the pine stray from the carpet outside my door.

Met with up with our friends Ben Birdsong and Tommy at Al Madina to eat lunch on the start of our Safari.

Kathy was a big help to me watching Penelope while I talked and showed the men around.

Great to see my girls together!

After lunch, I took them by Halal Pizza and the shopping center with a lot of African stuff. Then to the new mosque in Clarkston.

Next stop was the BAPS Hindu temple.

Penelope liked the elephants. Although, I think she thought there would be a REAL elephant. She remembered it from Zoo Atlanta.

Then to the Kitab book store. Many interesting things there.

Tommy loves coffee. We hooked him up with some real Turkish goodies!

Never seen this before!

Said goodbye to my Birmingam, Alabama friends then went to the Dollar Store to pick up goodies for our team and the block party tomorrow!


Then to FBC Doraville to set up for The Show (light!). I don’t put up the curtains or the special spotlights for just a one day event. Goes from this.

To this.

Includes sound, screen, projector, chairs, big globe, music items, tables, fan, microphones and tables with covers. Takes about thirty minutes for me to do by myself.

Setting it up this afternoon means that I don’t have to get there early tomorrow. Less stressful and more sleep.

Also went by CD Tower to pick up some more Long Life papers. Got big stack of them. We handed out almost all that we had last Sunday at Peachtree Corners BC.

Took a while to get home. Kathy insisted on trying a different way without following Mr. Google. She tracked it and sure enough, her way took an extra 14 minutes sitting in traffic. Although I know a LOT of ways to get home only Mr. Google knows the fastest way. I just tried to be chill about it. She certainly had been patient with me!

Missed biking today. Would have been great. I enjoyed showing the guys around.

Studied Spanish and Swahili this evening. It’s a way of life.

Keep on keeping on.

Speaking of which, I released my 600th episode of Verbal Surgery yesterday. Wow!

Admin duties now.
