Random Thoughts

I am in Des Moines this evening, for the Iowa Diocesan convention - where all of the clergy, and selected lay people of the Episcopal church gather once a year to fellowship and decide the future for the church for the next year. Or so I'm told. Something like that, anyway... It's nice to be back in central Iowa, since we spent 8 wonderful years here. The kids are in bed, and we're in a bar, drinking beer. And thus, is my 7th NaBloPoMo post is born...

My random thoughts for the evening...

• The absolute *worst* weather on the planet is 33 degrees and raining.  Which we drove through from Davenport to Des Moines, and had to walk through to the cathedral.  Not fun...
• Babysitting for dinner would have been nice, this evening.  Fortunately, I have a 10-year old, who was able to watch the younger 3 while we ate, and I had to go back to the room only 3 times...
• Iowans are friendly people.  I really *do* love the midwest.
• I am looking forward to going to the new mall tomorrow, which is walking distance from the house we lived in before Brian was called to the priesthood.  I miss that house...  And the mall...
• It's good that we moved.  being within walking distance from the Cheesecake Factory would not have been good for my figure...
  

So, is that random enough for you????  And now, if you don't mind, I'll go and enjoy the rest of my beer... or two... *grin*
