I am at Five Oaks. Sitting quietly now as the group that is here is now all tucked away and sleeping.
The storm is going on around me.
Lots of lightning & thunder earlier. Now just steady rain.

Love storms. Love Five Oaks.
Kinda nice to be the only one up now.
 
We're just sitting here, quite time before friends arrive. There will be six of us who get together a couple of times a year ... yummy things to nibble, then a simple lasagna & ceasar salad feast, followed by a games of CodeNames or Trivial Pursuit, then dessert & coffee. Looking forward to lots of laughing & story-telling and friendly competition. Good mid-winter Saturday night. There will be extra food I'm sure, if any of you want to drop by :-)
 
Trivial Pursuit ... the chase for small answers that may add up to sum thing? Integral gods ... summary précis, or more commonly an abstract! These are often dark to those not having affinity to understanding ... undergods of wisdom ... stunned or stupid as hating intelligencia ... no matter how bad at teaching.

Then some are latter dais learners ... must be recycled ...
 
A friend was over to play Scrabble yesterday. I mentioned that I had found my old Trivial Pursuit game in the basement while looking for something else. Next time she comes over we are going to try it. I prefer playing it in groups (guys vs girls or whatever) so you are welcome to join us. Seelerman doesn't play Scrabble but maybe he'll join us for Trivial. I imagine that we will find some of the questions quite dated.
 
I agree Seeler - Trivial Pursuit is much more fun in teams where there can be lots of good natured debate about the answers!
 
I prefer word or general knowledge games, but it is usually hard to find people to play with..

Actually I do have a favourite story about playing Trivial Pursuit. Once, at a social gathering that featured a pot luck supper, games and chatting, a group of men were looking for one more person to make up two teams of four. Two of the guys on the full team were ministers, including one who was boasting about his prowess at the game "I haven't been beaten at this game for years. People always want to be on my team". Eventually they realised that no other man in the room wanted to play, even after getting their arms twisted, so to speak. One said "I suppose we could play with a woman - but they never want to play brain games" . Needless to say I volunteered.

The game proceeded and the two teams were so close that we were down to the last question. It went to the team with the loud mouthed minister. It turned out to be a Religion question. None of them could answer it, so the team I was on got to try to answer it. The three men on my team all threw up their hands in defeat. I gave the right answer and the minister with the attitude problem grabbed his coat and left!

I always grin when I share that story!!

Must ... resist ... joke ... about whether the loud mouth minister was a Methodist. :whistle:
 
well, what a month it has been.

Dad has been sick, as well, with a cold, but they quarantined him, and the lack of socialization has not been good for him. Spent time with him and his physical health is improving, though his mental health was going the other way. Hoping with being able to be social that he comes back.

This weekend at Five Oaks, we had a great time with NEOS which is a series of programs which certify youth leaders. We worked on our proposal, and prepped for the next working weekend of the MWG.

Finally, I got to use the dishwasher. Memories of family camp, and well, spraying each other with water came rushing back.

Woke up at 4am (having gone to bed at 8:30 or so), and sat quietly in the main room.
I worked on my report, and listened to the world awakening, such a treat at Five Oaks.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Nope the unpleasant minister was Baptist. He totally ignored me whenever we happened to be in the same location- sour grapes I guess. Eventually he left town (I don't think that was my fault).

All adds to the fault of humankind ... oligarchies' that will hear nothing but what they know ... while denying all that is eternally beyond eM to a great extreme (politic)! Thus in a world are we flawed or slightly cracked ... a social order for those that love uniformity!

Some gods would suffer a divine division of labour of thought ... thus IT was conceived ... possibly silently in the night as this is how maleficent operates her dark mire ... some take it as a bottom land ferme ... firmament redacted and thus the fallout!

After this went down ... it was overlooked ...
 
woohoo. It's a work ski day for me! This only happens every other year or so. All our grade 5 classes spend 3 days cross country skiing. I found out Mon. that a gal on my caseload hadn't been going . Her parents felt she would hold the others back, or fall behind and get lost. I called them up and said I was a ski instructor and would they send their daughter with me? Yes and so shortly I'll climb on the school bus and head up the mountain. Because it is last day we'll also have a bonfire and hotdogs!
 
Here, I think we'll be breaking out the water skis by May if things continue at this rate.:rolleyes:
 
I need to get March Break in. Claire has a speed camp and another race mid week. I have three late season races I could sign up for and I'm wondering how many I can do without getting murdered or divorced. I haven't done them in so long. I need an adrenaline fix.
