The Dayton Diaries

Posted 01:25 by Rich

Not much been going on here of late. With less than one month to go the Fellows have had their heads down working. Did make it up to Columbus the other day with Anne and Catalina. The weather was awful so we drove around a lot. Did make to the orginal Max and Ermas and to the The Book Loft in German Village.

Tried to watch the rugby test between England and New Zealand, but being from a country with one time zone we arrived three hours early and couldn't hack the wait, especially since we lost.

I was national TV last night as an member of audience on "A Public Voice". I was sitting right behind a vocal panellist so was on for a time.

Last Wednesday went to karaoke downtown at Elbos. The Karaoke was run by Nancy - a Dayton legend. the crowd - not day dwellers - gathered around 11pm about when I was to leave. Thursday night went drinking with some young pastors. it was the farewell for Eric L. a young Presbyterian minister heading to NewYork. We played bocce - an Italiain versoion of pentanque. Friday stayed home and watched "Black Hawk Down" and read. Saturday went to a book discussion group in the back of a church hall. I arrived early and couldn't see my friend, just some of the poor and homeless they supply with breakfast so turned around and went to the market district. This has two markets - the 2nd Street market and Webster Street Market. not great markets except for the English food stall, which had Hobnobs - Yummy!! Made it back to the discussion and had some pancakes with maple syrup. They were discussing Walter Wink's The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium. I had read it years ago so could hold my own. That night went to boring keg party in the Cannery Aprtment building. On Wednesday went down to Oxford to Miami University to watch some colleagues play softball. Nice town. Highlight of the week was the return of Catalina from Medellin, Colombia on Thursday.
