0714 a little less crusty

Saturday started off slow with some exercise in the morning and afternoon. Around 4:45pm, Kelly and Netty came by to pick me up, and we went to SBCC for the Saturday eve service. Pastor Gary was in an impromptu kendo match. I'm not sure exactly what he ws trying to communicate, but the message was a continuation of his "Seize The Day" series. He ended the service with an update from our team in Uganda, at which time I realized that it has been a week that Liz has been gone. He also mentioned that Eric and Jennifer were going on a sepsrate medical mission to Uganda in mid-July, something that I've known about, since both of them are members of Koinonia.

After service ended, the three of us drove down to Ports O'Call in San Pedro, to the Crusty Crab (no relation to the Krusty Krab, for all of you Sponge-Bob fans) and the Restaurant Hoppers gang. We met up with Eric, Jennifer, Brian, Kevin, Chris, Sunny, Helen, Christine, and a whole bunch of others who were friends of friends. Eric, Brian and Kevin sat together and each ordered the King Crab legs, but they had their own individual method for shelling and consuming their crustaceans. Check out the pic of Kevin with his own style.

Brian had the bright idea of playing the telephone game around the table. He started a story, just to see how much it changed by the time it went all the way around. The only problem in the process was Eric, who was SECOND in line. He thought that Brian's story was too long, so he shortened it, dropping half of the details in the process. By the time it was recited by the fourth person in line, the story was no longer recognizable. Eric was very sincere and thought that his "edit" made more sense. LOL

There was a wide assortment of seafood across the whole table so it would be safe to say that our group sampled the menu quite successfully. The evening (and eating) ended around 9:30pm. I made it home about 10:10pm.

Thanks to Kelly and Netty for a very memorable evening. My getting out for an evening also gave my parents the opportunity to get away for some time to themselves. This time, they went to Tsukuba in Gardena, with my Aunt Emy. They had a nice night, too.
