A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

0131 superbowl weekend

Today, the Men’s Ministry at SBCC had a Flag Football/Pancake Breakfast, to get Superbowl weekend started off right. The morning started with a couple of simultaneous flag football games being played at McMaster Park in Torrance.

Scott, the organizer, divided the participants in half to get two games started. He said that the “younger” players would probably want a faster game, so he separated the participants by ages. Those who were under 30 went on one field; those who were 30 and older to another.

The two groups were uneven, so he kept juggling the ages until it evened up. At the end, I think one group was 34 and under, while the other group was 35 and older. There was a moment of confusion when one of the “older” participants was hiding on the “younger” team.

Fortunately, I was a spectator as I would have skewed the division up more. It was nice to sit back and watch others slip on the cold, wet grass.

After the games, everyone drove back to SBCC for the Pancake Breakfast. Gary F said grace for the gathering. The food was cooked and served by the men of Hawaii Five-O. Pastor Ken gave a talk on finding and maintaining a support group within the church. Carlton talked about the many ministries that are available to the men of SBCC.
