lake harriet spiritual community

i went to another meetup potluck tonight, it was at lake harriet spiritual community in Minneapolis. the guy doing the board games was one of the event coordinators. i played one, 'taboo'. some words were hard, due to what 5 words were taboo, but others were no problem for me. for whatever reason, we never played the one called 'balderdash'. that one had a goodwill sticker on it, a reminder of some good deals to be found at resale shops. one lady in the same game spoke of being from Richmond, VA, and it was a reminder of how i have visited there, but it has been a while. i brought some little cupcakes that were bought at a target express. as expected, i didn't stay for the entire time allotment. i was tired and had a cold, kept wiping my nose while there. also wanted to get to another event, which was a Christmas eve church service.
   i made an observation of how we may be too awash in pop culture, since i thought of Charlie brown, as well as the simpsons, while there. since a song, 'hark the herald angels sing', and the scripture that linus quotes were a part of it. then there was the preacher trying to sound hip, making a 'star wars' reference. now i have 'yule log' on, i like watching it each year. plenty of music, and seeing the fireplace as well. now they are doing a johnny cash song, his version of 'it came upon a midnight clear'.
   it was a fairly leisurely day for a while. i pulled out a DVD and watched it, 'touchdown in the heartland', about the Aplington-parkersburg football season back in 2008. i must have been thinking about it after watching the movie about Brandon bulsworth, something about it made me think of the late ed Thomas. then i watched some pro football, mostly falcons-saints in new Orleans, the saints won. after getting back from church i did the dishes.
