"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Menu for Summer's Last Hurrah
L'aperitif: Bombay Sapphire Martini. Perfection. Just the way we like 'em. (Thank you, Robbie.) Served with tortilla chips and salsa.
Le repas: Alaskan King Crab Legs. Served with Mexican rice and a green salad garnished with tortilla strips and Dos Locos House (Ginger) dressing.
Le Dessert: Boston Creme Pie Cheese Cake and DELICIOUS coffee for dessert.
Le digestif: A long walk on the beach.
There aint' nothing better after dinner than cool evening sand in your toes - except, of course, the aforementioned dinner.
Ah, the perfect end to summer!
I love you, Wayne. You are a brother, sure and true. Thank you!
And now it's "Home again, home again, jiggidy jig."
Future blogging will be significantly decreased due to my return to the normal sturm und drang of life in the fast lane of parish ministry.
Deep sigh.
And now, it's out the door and back to reality. See you there!

See you in November, or before? Call, whenever...
And Kirk, we are related by more than blood and the bond grows stronger with even short times together, be it silly or serious.
