a funereal detour

My wife's sister died and the funeral was in Maryland on Wednesday. That's choir night. What to do?

Nancy and Gail to the rescue. Thanks a lot everyone for keeping the program going even when I had to be away.

That's a nice advantage of a larger church such as Zion.

first day on the job

I walk in ready to go to work for Zion. Where to start. Hunter (seated) gives me a good orientation. At 11 Nancy (second from right on photo) gives me a good hour on choir orientation.

It takes another hour to figure out the computer and the programs the office is using. I find the refrig to keep my sandwich chilled. Late in the day I switch to organ, and practice and store my scores.

Then it's supper at O'Grady's family restaurant in Souderton, and from there down rte. 309 to Hunter house. At seven I meet with the worship committee, which is planning hymns for Advent. Discussion ranges far and wide. These people are sharp and fun. Also tenacious. I think it was all done by 9:15. (See if I remember all names: l to r, Kevin, Hunter, Joyce, Nancy, and Edie.)

Then home, discovering one headlight of the Neon is kaput, so I turn on the fog lights to compensate.
