Tech

Today was a sad day we didn't see coming.  We watched the last episode of season two of "The Bad Batch," and we couldn't believe it.  One of our favorite characters, Tech, sacrificed himself to save the entire team.  Not since that episode of "Rebels" with Kanan Jarrus have we been so devastated!  It was a super heavy episode, one of those half-hour blocks of television that just leaves you anything but uplifted. In fact, somewhat saddened, depressed, and angry at the Empire, which I suppose is that fuel that drives us to really want to see season three, where the Bad Batch gets back at the Empire in a major way.

It was a quiet day, although we're all busy doing Easter preparations.  I've been going down to Sandy Springs to get dresses for dancers, but this time no shawarma.  All business today!  I got down there and got stuck in all kinds of traffic on 400, but such is life when we live in Georgia.  It is so different now, and that's a funny thing to say because that's what the previous generation said about the area too.  I think of Doc Brown in "Back to the Future," talking about Hill Valley area when he remembered, "I remember when this was all farm land as far as the eye could see."  I'm kind of there now, remembering pieces of land for what they were, areas covered in trees or pastures.  Now there are more and more housing developments and Georgia is getting a bit more crowded.

A lot of people are moving to this state, and that's because living in states further north or on the west coast is becoming unaffordable due to various reasons, so they have all moved here in this direction.  It's been called an "exodus."  And yeah, and because of that, this state will change because the people who move here evidently haven't learned a thing, and sure enough these states will become just as overcrowded and unaffordable.  There's your real virus there.  But this is our home state, and certainly our home church, so here we stay.  Maybe if we start a campus in Namibia, we could go off and do the children's ministry there.  

Anyway, we had a quiet day today as we prepare for KidPak and Easter and everything else.  It's going to be a huge week next week.  Tonight we read, and we prayed together before bed, getting a good night's rest without worry of setting the alarm too early.
