I've been called out now for slacking off by a friend who likes to read this blogging stuff of mine. I have no clue why someone would want to read this stuff -- there's so much more excitement on the internet than this, but I'm humbled either way. I've been spending too much time at the gym, hanging out with the old men, or flirting with some young lady, who attracts me mostly because she doesn't stay distracted like most her age. By that I mean, she's not making calls on a treadmill, or playing with her smart phone while exercising. She's cute, and she does her job, and that's that. Actually there's a few more quality men and women these days at the gym like that. One thing I've always appreciated about coming back to America, is going to the gym, and watching people just do their thing. No distractions from phones, for the most part. I, personally distract myself sometimes with my IPod on Facebook, or Kakao talk, but I do a decent job of minimizing it.
Anyway, things are going well here. Staying busy has its consequences, but I stay rested up, and melatonin becomes my friend once or twice a week. I even had the honor of leading the praising with HyoSeon, our musical leader and talented pianist, and Chote, one of our wonderful voices, who hails from Myanmar. Fritz played guitar, and then two of the Koreans played accompanied us on drums and piano respectively. One of the songs was a classic hymn - Old Rugged Cross -- that my favorite singer Brad Paisley knocked out of the ballpark a long time ago. Chote and I did a duet of Great is Thy Faithfulness, which received a wonderful response from the congregation. I was proud of the job we did on that, and we practiced her to make it a wonderful experience too.
Besides church, I met up with an old student last Sunday afternoon, whose mom gave me a feast of raw fish, and other Korean delicacies. Saturday nights are the usual English club gathering, but this time I avoided the discussion period and just went for food and beer (well, the others partook in the beer part). The weather here isn't so great -- almost freezing tonight for some random reason. We've gotten temps in the 60s though lately. I wish those temps would stay, but Spring has only just begun.
I leave two pictures for you!!
