A Living Pencil 
Ummmm what’s a Pilates Pastor?! I am going to be imagining #32 now for a while…
I was hoping someone could ask, so I could clarify. The really laughable thing is that this is so out of character, one would never put those two words together with our dear man. Our pastor turns 50 this month, and went back to the city of his youth to do what he has always loved to do: surfboard. Except, he hasn’t actually surfed in A Very Long Time.In an effort to get into shape, he did pilates with his daughters. We heard their description of this unusual family workout…hysterical! It’s impossible to draw a mental image!
Welcome back, and thanks for playing!Oh, so cool that your dream came true! Are you able to tell us what it was?How did your ring get damaged? Bummer!Jazz pianist? Really? Don’t High Church folks like yourself have to eschew improvising? (Kidding!! It was a joke!)
On the dream thing…not really.I’m hard on jewelry, and wear precious little of it. In England I lost a diamond chip on my wedding ring one day and another chip the next day. It’s getting repaired this week.And, really, I’m more Middle Church than High Church. I love to improvise and almost never play the notes exactly as they appear on the page. I don’t think I ever told you how often your comments made me laugh aloud on our trip: the sheep with the purple heart is one I still remember.
Re: improvisation, J.S. Bach was renowned as the greatest improviser on the organ in Europe so hey — if it’s good enough for Bach, right? You go girl!
So you read Barb Harvey, huh?
Hmm…I think you may be pushing it to make “weddingring” one word, but I guess you can have a pass this time! Nice laptop tote…
My brother introduced me to Barb (I’m almost sure they’ve met IRL) and I check in on her occasionally. Thanks for the pass, Angie. I knew I was breaking the rules. But, without the “wedding” a reader wouldn’t know how tragic the story was and how naked I feel with this ring not on my finger.
Hi Carol, I’ll tag along on my blog
I played along. :)Carrie
