Karol and I visited another church this morning at the invitation of more friends. I'm not really wild about the time they hold services. We arrived about 0925 and it was a good 25 minute drive. That means I didn't have time for my jog this morning. Just time to bathe, get dressed, eat breakfast and leave.
Then to my surprised we went out to breakfast with the friends at the church after services. I like to eat, but two breakfasts in two hours is a bit much, even for me - urp. While we were at the restaurant, I ran across two people in the Business networking group I just joined. It's a very small world out there.
The service was nice - a mixture of traditional and modern praise music. Again, a very small congregation. Last week's attendance was 71 people.
The preacher has a beard. I really think a beard is a mistake for most people. It masks your face. You can't tell if a person with a beard is smiling or not. It takes a lot away from one's ability to make facial expressions and thus limits how much one can express oneself.
BTW, the new Hamilton Beach blender worked very well this morning. It made a nice smooth drink and may be a smidgeon quieter than my now defunct Waring. Maybe I'll clean it up and sell it on eBay. The Hamilton Beach carafe is a little larger than the Waring, even though both are rated at 40 Oz.
I have been transcribing tapes to MP3 files. I got everything hooked up and recorded from my small walkman tape player to MP3 on the computer. Now the small player may not have great fidelity, but that doesn't matter to me for two reasons.
1) My hearing isn't the good to start with.
2) Most tapes I listen to are spoken word about sales for marketing or success. Spoken word doesn't need nearly as much fidelity as music does. The tapes I transcribed are "Buying Facilitation" by Sharon Drew Morgen.
I'd really like to see how I could, inexpensively, put an MP3 player in my car. I transcribed six tapes that I will be able to burn onto six CD's. However, if I had an Mp3 player, I could easily fit them all on to just one CD!
