It's the end of the year and things are hopping around here.
My church is going to have a weekend dedicated to issues of justice and mercy based on Micah 6:8 - "What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God". The kickoff is a dinner and trivia night this Friday. The publicity about the event wasn't very specific so I went to the staff minister in charge and asked, "How many people are on a team?" She said that the planning committee hadn't thought about that and asked for my suggestion. I told her that most trivia nights have teams of 6-8 and considering that the tables in our Fellowship Hall seat 8, that seemed like a good team size. She agreed. She then asked me if I'd be willing to write the questions and emcee the event. That caught me by surprise because I was planning on playing with my team, the Trivia Knights (which includes TheSearchIsOn and MsCheesecake). Now elwing and I can't play because we're running the thing. I was told that this would be a family event, so I needed to try and include questions that children could answer. So I came up with some and ran them past my grandchildren (ages 8, 6 and 3) and they didn't know the answers. Either they're too young, or I missed the demographic.
Oh, and last night elwing hit a car parked across the street as she was backing out of our driveway. No damage to the other vehicle but some obvious damage to ours.
