well, i did a lot of waiting for lift off actually as the plane sat on the runway for a good half hour or so and eventually ended up landing a good 45 minutes later than planned… fortunately evertything went pretty smoothly otherwise and, after a twenty five dollar cab fare, i made it over to my hotel in time to drop off my bags and catch a church service at a local building of worship type persuasion…

i’m not going to name the church, because it’s not really important, but i will say that it took me at least five minutes to find a door to enter and the door that i found ended up leading me around the backstage area of the church until i found my way around to the back of the sanctuary… not the best first impression and the odd looks i got from the ushers passing out bulletins didn’t help at all…

Anyway, it was a reminder of how i’m sure we can all be better at treating visitors to our church…

After church, my room still wasn’t ready, so i headed to the closest, cheapest place i could find to eat that was not White Castle (see previous not to self)… that’s right, Micky D’s… i’ll revisit that experience in another entry, but right now, as i sit here on the hearth of the hotel lobby fireplace (not very comfy, mind you) it seems as if the manager may have a room ready for me… too bad all the good napping hours have passed…

peace… love… bdg…
