Missing church again

I am sitting here on the couch, missing church again. All of us woke up too late to get going in time. Sigh. That says something, I suppose, about the general state of my faith walk.

On the positive side, we had a good time visiting with my brother Dan in Milwaukee yesterday.  We went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch — the first time I’ve ever eaten there. I really enjoyed a — get this — pear and gorgonzola pizza.  It was delicious!  The rest of the afternoon was spent sitting idly and/or napping (one of my favorite pasttimes), and then I went to a nearby Pick ‘n Save to buy roast chicken, salad, challah bread and other stuff for a nice supper.  We got home around 8:30p.

A quick trip to beautiful Milwaukee

My brother, Dan, moved to Milwaukee a few days ago and started a new job there. He rented a nice house and invited us to come up and see it today. So we did.  It was a beautiful day, nearly perfect weather.  Most people who aren’t familiar with it think Milwaukee is a grimy, industrial-type of city. It used to be like that, I think, but these days it is really beautiful in places, especially along the lakefront.  We loved Dan’s place and we also enjoyed eating lunch together at a nearby Mongolian barbeque restaurant.  See a photo album of the trip here.
