Wow! I'm Now a "Man of Note" !

Monday Dee went to the receptionist job and after much prayer and discussion decided to tell them that it wasn't working for her. They'll want her 5 days a week once the current receptionist goes on maternity leave for possibly up to 12 weeks. She talked with her manager at the McGinnis Sisters and they wanted her to come back and were willing meet a couple of requests she had. She likes the people there and enjoyed the work.

I took my Saturn Vue in to the dealer for the oil change tire rotation and "recall" items they needed to check. In and out in under an hour. Very efficient. Then, Monday night we had Bogmeister practice as we get ready for a Christmas Show for friends and family on Monday, December 15, at the Pine Richland Elementary School. The price of admission is some canned goods which will be given to a food pantry in the area. Practice went well and I was given a"Man of Note" pin for recruiting our newest member. The man of note pin is a tie tack with the number 1 on it. Here's what it looks like. Then, yesterday I picked up Earl C. to go to the men's Bible Study breakfast (just muffins). We watch a short video of instruction and then discuss the issues it raises. We're going through the Old Testament and yesterday was on 2 Samuel and the stories of David. Afterward, the pastor gave me the list of people he like me to call on (folks who haven't been at worship for quite some time) and he had some business cards made for me that say "Minister of Visitation." Cool. These are people he's like to follow up on, but just doesn't have the time to do so. I'm looking forward to it and we'll see how it goes.

Then, I picked up Dee and we had a nice late breakfast at "First Watch". During the day, Dee and I did a little shopping (I stayed in the car and fussed with the gps device I recently purchased. At home, we spent the afternoon on home maintenance and cleaning issues. I saw an job listing for an adjunct faculty for a "Creative Writing" course at the local Penn State Campus and so I applied for it. (I've already heard back that the position has been filled but they'll keep my resume in their "active" file. Whatever that means.) We closed out the evening with some lightly breaded (actually crushed saltine crackers) fish and veggies; some television; and then a glass of Chardonnay and a dip in the hot tub. Very nice.
