Good Times with Church Members

I just got back from a fun time hanging out with some of my parishioners. This morning they invited me to spend some time with them, their relatives, and some friends. It was down at the VFW hall. We all had a terrific time. let me give you some highlights:

1. Good food. Various people brought in different dishes. I love potlucks! I hadn't eaten like that for a long time. (And probably won't for a long time.)

2. I did karaoke for the first time in my life. It was a smaller crowd, so I wasn't really afraid to screw up. I did 2 songs, both by Johnny Cash (go figure). I did fairly well on "Cry Cry Cry", but almost completely botched "Ring of Fire".

3. I was pretty stuffed from the food people brought and the dessert, which was this killer apple pie, which one of my hosts described as legendary. Just as everything gets settled, somebody shows up late with a party-sized pepperoni and cheese from Ellie's Deli here in Silver Creek! Amazing!

Anyway, it was great. Needless to say, after this afternoon's festivities, gym workouts in Dunkirk are probably going to be switched to 2-a-days. Maybe I should make the trek to Pittsford, NY and see if I can slim down by working out with the Bills during their training camp, which opens this week.
