I Spy

We had a great morning back at KidPak's auditorium this weekend, and that big screen is really working nice.  Also, check out the "I Spy" game I created, using AI - this is just a small section.  The kids don't see the screen, and then the host calls out an item and the first to locate it is the winner.  I wrote down every item in this list - I was surprised it all worked out.  Super fun, and it'll certainly be something we do again down the road, given that you can probably change the theme around.

Here are some other pictures that Maddie took this morning:

Another great morning at church.  Our series wrapped up, yet another "spy" themed series - and next week we return to an automotive theme that should be pretty fun.

Today I visited with my old buddies from high school, and it took a horrific car accident to get us all together again this time.  Alan's wife - after fifty days - should be discharged from the hospital this week and go straight to rehab for a long, long time.  He and his family were driving when they were t-boned by a driver running a red-light, and the damage will take many years to recover from.  She nearly died three or four times, depending on how you count things, but the good news is that she is recovering, and she will be discharged.

Despite the circumstances, it was good to be with these old friends again.  We discussed a lot of things from the past - the good ol' days - and a lot of what's going on now.  In some ways, it was as if we hadn't had any breaks between conversations, even though it's been a few years since we've all been together.  It was good to be down there, and some time next month we'll probably meet again - hopefully for the new Street Fighter movie.

I got home after an interesting drive through a deserted north Atlanta, amongst all these high rise skyscrapers towering overhead and yet hardly anyone around.  Sunday afternoon, I guess?  It was like one of those apocalyptic scenes, a super interesting drive that I seemed to have all to myself.  But I got home and Maddie was wanting to watch "The Corpse Bride," and there was no argument from me on that one!

We read tonight, and we said our prayers after that, and yes, it was time for sleep.  Long day - long weekend!
