Couple of things
- Been busy the past few days with work and other obligations as well, so not as much blogging being done ... apologies.
- I do want to give a plug for the church. We've vaulted into the 20th century and begun archiving the texts of our pastor's sermons. You can check them out here if you're interested in seeing what Baptists who aren't members of the Southern Baptist Convention hear on Sunday mornings.
I'd recommend 'Serving Athens and the World' in February 2006 ...
It is an obnoxious notion, a grandiose thought, to think that we as Christians in this church can serve Athens and the world. We must hold on to the idea that no matter how small or how great the service is that we are willing to offer in making this world a better place, it is our service and we give it lovingly.
... as well as 'Nit Pickers, Wound Lickers, Nay Sayers and Arm Wavers' in April 2006.
- By the way, Linda Schrenko finally said 'yeah ... I did it.' on Wednesday. Can we have a poll for the most corrupt Augusta politician? It's a tough call between Schrenko, Charles Walker and Robin Williams. Criminality, apparently, is bipartisan.
- And, in something sure to make my buddy Brodrick happy, Oconee County has shed the 'Slow-conee' label in high school track. Seriously though ... the Warriors had the fastest runner in the 100 meters in Region 8-AAA? Man, the times they are a-changin' in the world of prep track and field. And Brodrick should know, he being a 'former' school record-holder in cross country.
- As an aside, if you like high school sports, go visit the State Track and Field Championships in Jefferson. Always my favorite event to cover because it's something those folks up there take very seriously and do a bang-up job hosting.

Let me know if you'd be interested in a ride up to Jefferson tonight or another time during the meet. Am considering it.
Also, as a former sports reporter, you should know the record was in the 3200, not cross country (where times are irrelevant). And yes, I was robbed!

It would be nice if the sermons were available as somehing other than .doc files. Or does God use MS Word?
Fortunately, you're speaking to a man who serves on the communications committee ... PDFs would be nice.
Oh ... and I'd be interested in maybe going Saturday, but I can't say for sure. Let me check.
the track meet? ugh.. takes too long, but it's easy -- bang out a feature and then go with a notebook for results. there are worse things to cover
If you have a Mac making PDFs is about as easy as you can get. YOu can save anything as a PDF.
Glad all sportswriters don't have that winning attitude. Write some more fluff on Monte Williams, why don't ya?
