A New Career

Earlier this year, back in February or March, our church's youth group put on a play called the Cotton Patch Gospel. It's a musical that retells the story of Jesus as if in modern day, rural Georgia. In one scene, Jesus is telling a modern version of the Good Samaritan story. One of the groups that comes upon the man recently beat up by robbers and left on the side of the road is a hot gospel singing group, called the Quintessentials. That's because there's five of em. Anyhow, they drafted 5 of us older gentlemen to play the part. This is what it looked like.



It's not hard to tell which of this group is more comfortable performing.

New Car, Old Job

I haven't written in my blog in quite a while. So for a quick update to those who occasionally read it, here's what's happening.

The company where I work got bought by a big pharmaceutical company whose logo appears below. They liked what we had, but they didn't think it would be worthwhile keeping us around so somewhere around August 31, I will be out of work. We'll get a nice severance and some other parting gifts, so if I'm not out of work too long, it won't be a bad thing. If I am, it will.


In the meantime, my son came home and got a job and needed a car. We've already got 2 cars with over 100,000 miles on them so we decided to get an new car with no miles on it. My son gets to use my old car. For the reasons mentioned above, we didn't want to spent too much money and we wanted reasonable gas mileage so we got a new Honda Accord. It looks like the picture below.
And that's all the news I have for now.
