Carolyn was away on Friday night on a Community Bible Study retreat up in Costa Mesa and so I watched a college football game and the Ultimate Fighting Championships. The UFC involves boxing (without padded gloves), kick boxing and judo. Totally brutal as contestants use elbows, rabbit punches and submission holds to subdue their opponent. It makes boxing look like it's for sissies. You wouldn't want to find yourself in an alley with any of these guys.
Saturday I tackled mowing the lawn and cleaning the yard before joining the Bethkes and Dennis' brother and sister-in-law for the annual visual scavenger hunt on the lake. We had about 15 boats participating by gleaning answers to clues about various architectural details or paraphernalia at various lakefront homes. Using our years of experience, we won by a large margin and collected our prize of Starbucks coffee at the BBQ at the Club that followed.
I got home around 8:30 and then watched both the Arkansas-Alabama and the Stanford-USC games that I had earlier digitally recorded. Using the fast forward extensively, I watched both Arkansas and USC win in just over an hour! You don't realize how much wasted time there is in a televised football game until you use a DVR. Carolyn got back around 9:30 and we headed to bed.
Sunday, Pastor Mike continued his preaching on Corinthians 15 and death as the consequence of man's sin - both spiritually and biologically. Then we stopped by Wanda's to trim a few trees in her front yard and went to Proud Marys in Dana Point harbor for lunch. The weekend was beautiful and the air just the right temperature as we dined by the harbor. We finished up the afternoon back on the Bethke's deck just talking and having a few glasses of wine as the sunset colored wispy clouds with reds and purples. A pleasant finish to a weekend.
