| We had a slightly smaller than usual gathering ranging in ages from about six months to in the 90's. Nobody from one part of the family was there at all.

| Mine was fine. We often have one or more non-family members at the celebration. A couple of years ago, one of our guests was one of the Lost Boys from Sudan. His manners were very impressive. One time we had several college baseball players from New York City. I don't think they had ever, in their l... |

My favorite "character" in the whole series was Bessie. They should bring Bessie Back.
Clara and Bessie would have been a really good pair. |

| Our altar calls are more subdued -- mostly announcements of anniversaries, birthdays, and travel plans -- rarely is there ever any emotional display, and I have never seen anyone "slain in the spirit" there. That wouldn't be so bad, then. Meh ... I can live through it. I'm not big on hand... |

| The music. Always the music. When I was in high school, the church youth would go caroling two or three times a year and quite a few adults would join in. Each time, we'd go to the home of members of the congregation and sing three or four songs for them. Two or three of the houses each time would a... |

By the way, I thought about starting to go to a Cowboy Church until I saw a video of a Sunday service from one. The e... |

| I dreamed that there were some strange noises underneath someone's house. So we went over to his house, drilled a hole through the concrete slab (don't know why we didn't drill the hole from outside so as to miss the slab), and found a large cavity underneath the house that went down 100 feet. We su... |

| For many of us, office romances are strictly forbidden. It introduces too many strange dynamics. And it gets much worse when they split up. If I had two employees who were romantically involved, one or both would quickly be gone. One grad student I knew in the 1970s was really hot for his office mat... |
