Do you listen to different music depending on your mood and situation? Or does one genre dominate your listening habits?
I enjoy a wide variety of musical genres and pick the station or playlist based on my circumstances. For whatever reason, this morning was a rock 'n roll morning. "Movin' 97.5", cranked up pretty loud.
I had a good morning (maybe the music helped). I got several little projects off the to-do list. Arranged for the publication of our articles of incorporation as per state regs, paid some bills, made some phone calls and picked up some supplies we need for church. I threw my 7-iron in the back before I went out for those errands and stopped by the driving range on the way home. I haven't had a club in my hand for probably 3 or 4 years and I had no idea what to expect. Actually hit it pretty well. My golf pro friend told me years ago that the 7-iron was the most neutral of all the clubs. In fact, when he gave me lessons he wouldn't let me swing anything else for three weeks. So I left all the rest of the sticks home and tried to remember what it felt like to hit a golf ball. Felt pretty good. Hit it fairly straight, didn't shank any, and while I didn't get great distance I made good contact.
The weather has been so good here I've been thinking about getting back into the game. After a bucket of balls I'm thinking more about it.
The second bucket will probably bring me back to reality.
Shortly after lunch my tax guy called.
Houston, we have a problem.
This afternoon was Wagner and Samuel Barber's Adagio.
If I felt really committed to one of these candidates I might be bothered, but as it is I'm kind of enjoying the sniping. I feel like I'm watching 6th graders throwing verbal punches at each other on the playground. It's entertaining in a voyeuristic sort of way.
The Suns play the Lakers tomorrow night and it could be a game worth watching. Shaq will start for the Suns against his old team, led by Kobe Bryant, the guy who arguably motivated Shaq to leave the Lakers several years ago. The western conference is clearly the class of the NBA.
Speaking of the NBA and bad days, imagine what this guy feels like.
Rejected!
I guess he knew the risks going in.
While I was listening to the radio this morning I heard the DJ refer to us as Phoenicians. Hadn't heard that in quite a while, but it is the term that describes us. That got me to thinking about what term other cities use to describe their residents. I was once a Seattle-ite. I think I was a Grand Rapidian, although we didn't hear that term often for obvious reasons.
What do people who live in Fargo call themselves? Fargo-ians? Fargo-ites? Fargundians?
This week at Pathway we'll be in the second half of Genesis 17, where God tells Abraham that Sarah (they just got their names changed) will give birth to a son a year from "now". That will put her at 90 years old. She died at 127 if I remember correctly, and that wasn't unusually old for that era.
Question: did the aging process happen more slowly during OT times when people lived a lot longer? So, for example, did Methuselah hit puberty at age 45? And more to this week's point, did Sarah pass child bearing age at 65? Or were those and similar stages in the aging process the same as now, and the last stage just went on a lot longer?
Either way, both Abraham and Sarah were will past the biological point of fathering/conceiving children; Hebrews 11 tells us that. But it's a question I've wondered about.
