catching up

well, jake was elmo for halloween except for the fact that he didn't really get around to wearing his costume on the day of halloween. we took a few pictures when he was playing in it on another day though.

my cousin was released from the hospital on nov. 1 (exactly a month after the accident), but he goes in for therapy every day so he and his parents are staying at the ronald mcdonald house there in atlanta.

i meant to post a note that i went to another chapel and it really is a different experience than sitting in my office and watching it on tv occasionally. the Spirit is there in the worshipping community, but it doesn't really get broadcast on the tv. as you can tell, the service was awesome. anyways, it was like nazarene day that day as we had a speaker from mecca (kansas city headquarters) and my uncle the kentucky district superintendent showed up as well. they had a talk back / discussion at lunch and then us nazarene students all got taken out to dinner by the philly ds who is sort of asbury's student liason with the denomination. we went to bella notte and it was great as usual.

ut has really tanked this year, but the nats have made a couple of good offseason moves. here's to hoping that new owners will be named by thanksgiving - that would be something to be very thankful for. on the baseball subject, my nats team on ea mvp baseball 2005 is almost into september with a healthy lead on the nl east.
