Woke up bright and early for church.. turns out that they decided to go for the later session at 1130… *sigh* dat means I woke up early for nothing.. and I’ve changed and all that.. couldn’t go back to sleep.. sigh… I needed the sleep badly..
 
Anna made waffles… it was really nice.. I had a big huge stack of them! Haha.. sorry no picture to show for this.. We are gonna go to a new church today!! Whee!! Pull up a lil late at the church.. I can’t remember what it is call.. but it is slightly closer.. by 10 minutes.. and not as posh as Valley Presbyterian Church.. It was kinda packed.. and the sermon was really interesting.. Its about the choice and use of words in the bible..and how confusing it was.. or  at least that’s what I got outta it..i’m sure it is really something thing else.. but it was farnee.. The pastor was going abt a huge range of words.. and how it has no meaning to it.. like.. why do we call Hamburgers.. when there isn’t any Ham in it?? And a whole lot of others which I can’t remember.. I had a good time laughing.. he was entertaining.. Learn later that the normal pastor is on leave. And this one.. was retired..and he was specially invited back to give a sermon and dat is why there are so many people there..  They also brought special attention to two guys who joined the military.. and they got a huge round of applause for that.. I’m like.. duh. Its only the military.. they turned up in their uniforms.. looking really smart and all..and they got a whole buncha people talking to them after that.. Oh well..Americans.. it seems like a big thing to be in the service here…
 
Anyway.. after that.. we got home.. had lunch.. I took a nap.. was really tired.. then cycled down with steve to the sailing centre.. He went for the adult learn to sail program to help out.. and I took n Xcite out.. Saw Melissa and her bro jack and her mum there… they were waxing her boat.. nice.. I took them out to sail.. she took n Xcite out with her bro.. they were practicing capsizing…. I hung arnd.. when they left.. I decided to practice on my leeward mark rounding.. I did alright.. and some roll tacking.. I really got into the groove of the Roll Tacking… I was trying some stuff out from the Opti DVD dat Tom Coleman showed us.. I thought that was pretty awesome.. I went back.. Steve got me to help out with the program.. cos they were running outta instructor.. I got Michael and Joy for the first pair..they did alright.. I send them off.. then I got Mary and Ted.. whose name is really john.. but he likes to be called Ted.. now.. they are really heavy size… and she wasn’t really being nice about it.. cos she wanna get out.. but I was slow.. and showing them stuff. And then they realized that it was better that way.. and they appreciated the way I teach..and they asked if I’ll be arnd next week. I forgot to tell them that I have a party next Sunday.. oh well.. Shall see how it goes.. It was nice to be appreciated.. and know that the way I teach was getting across to them…
 
Cycled home after that.. It was nice and cold.. had to pedal really hard to get the body warm.. Stopped by Food Lion to get Hot Fudge and Chocolate ice cream for Anna cos she wanted them to go with her chocolate cake with chocolate sprinkles and chocolate chips in it.. sounds like chocolate overdose to me.. but man.. was it good or wot..MMMmmmMmm
 
Sleeping early today.. Tired out… Its Monday tm… no race….. Not sure what Eileen is planning.. as usual…
