This Holiday Life

Last night was a fun night at The Gathering. John gave the sex talk, which is one of the best sex talks I’ve heard. You can hear it (once it’s posted as Part 5) here. Reminds me of Jim Pace from [nlcf]’s story about how the first two times he ever gave a talk about sex, his mother decided to come and visit. Talk about a hard message to give, especially since there was new (to her) information in it.

The event of the night was the guest appearance of This Holiday Life for the closing song during the service. Later that evening, they gave a concert. For those of you who have never heard of This Holiday Life, they’re currently on tour with Switchfoot and used their night off to come and play for us. They sound a lot like Switchfoot and put on a good, although short, show.

Slower than a tortoise

This week has been productive but busy at work. I’m in the process of replacing one of the machines that I use on a daily basis right now. It’s been running on a 5+ year old machine that’s outlasted its useful life. A build that takes over an hour on the server takes less than 10 minutes on my 2 year old work computer. Hopefully, my project will start moving faster once I get it over to a year old machine.

Blacksburg review

Once again, I’ve managed to slip into a cycle that doesn’t include posting. Blacksburg was fun last weekend, everything except getting a ticket on the 460 bypass coming into town. What really sucks about that is I was in the right lane going the same speed as the other cars, but I’m the one they decided to pull over. I enjoyed getting a chance to catch up with people who I hadn’t seen for over a month. Oh, and now I have Mill Mountain coffee at home. Mmmmm . . .
