It's the end of

It's the end of another weekend. It was a good one. Today we had a church tape from Sierra Vista, something we always listen to on Sunday morning. Last week we were down to our last tape, and it only had the sermon. We made up the rest of the service, with Bible reading, singing together, and a children's story. After church Tay asked me to go pitch the baseball to him. I looked out the window and could see that it was really sunny. More blue sky than clouds. Usually it's the other way around. I knew it would be hot in the equatorial sun and wasn't too excited to go out. But he suggested the cancha at the school. Good idea! We headed over to the school and played in the shade of the cancha. That was a fun time.

This afternoon Dustin found a hummingbird in the backyard. Lou the dog got to it first, but Dustin got there soon after, and that was a good thing. But, we think the bird flew into the window, since Dustin said he heard a noise that sounded like that. It can't fly, and the left wing is sticking out at an odd angle. Dustin has been feeding it sugar water, and hopes to take it to school tomorrow so the class can take care of it. I'm not too hopeful, but I guess I'm just a pessimist. We'll see what happens. It's spending the night in his room in a big Tupperware container. No lid on it of course, since the bird can't fly.

I didn't get a ride in today, but yesterday I had a good ride of twenty miles. Haven't ridden that far in a while. It was a great ride. And then tomorrow I'll ride again after work with John Burk. He's the maintenance specialist for MAF here. We've been riding together a couple times a week since October. I'm slowly getting ready for my ride to Arajuno. I'm thinking I should head up towards Ba�os over Thanksgiving weekend to see what sort of shape I'm really in.
