Full Weekend - Refer Madness

It was a full weekend. You've already read how I was an unwitting accomplice at the poetry festival. This colored the rest of the weekend because every time I heard sirens I ducked for cover or tried to play it cool. Sometimes I tried both but that rarely worked. Good thing Hays doesn't have that many sirens.

Saturday I spent most of the evening volunteering to help World Vision sign up child sponsors at a concert. I got to meet a really great guy in Ben Greene, the full time WV staff person who tours with these folks. I'm hopeful we manage to have a lasting friendship. From there I ended up spending some extra time praying with good friends - always a favorite pastime. On the way home from there, though, at midnight we happened upon two completely naked people attempting sex in their front yard. Of course, it may not have been their front yard, anyone doing such things most likely has little idea of where their house is at that time. We were so shocked at this we just left.

Sunday was also full with the regularly scheduled program. I did get to spend some great time with a couple I hope to marry this summer. She is here in Hays, he in Florida. I only hope to marry them because I may be in China on the day of the wedding. As she left, another friend came by with a possible new beau, and as they left one of our regulars came over - she signs her comments thus: :) and while she was there, helping us in the yard no less, another great friend came by (I think he reads the blog occasionally but has yet to comment). We all supped together and had a grand time. The wife ended up going into work, being that she was on call, and the boy and I eventually found our ways to our beds. First we, being short term bachelors, watched some TV together - but then it was straight to bed.

The boy passed out quickly. I started reading a book about the Noon Prayer Meetings in NYC way back in 1857. Didn't get very far but was interesting still.

In other news - the boards are indicating that Ireland and the Netherlands are getting their referrals as we speak. They should hit the states today or tomorrow? With that we'll start to figure out if we get our first glimpse of Baby Joy next month or June.
