  my dad passed away at the hospital today after a lengthy illness.

  he was 84 years old.

  some of the folks here have known for awhile that he had been ill, and they have been very supportive.

  2. friends

  after i got a haircut recently, a look in the mirror revealed a little too much recession of my hairline for comfort.

  i saw that 'horseshoe' shape atop my head.

  so, while i was away, i got my head buzzed.

  Serena thanks "Jehovah" after US Open...

  by jack2 in

  2. friends

  serena williams, after winning the us open women's tennis championship tonight, thanked "jehovah" for blessing her family.

  in the background were numerous us flags, and of course, prior to the match, the williams sisters were there and standing while various patriotic songs were played (oh, that's right....they were already standing since they had to walk out onto the court....guess that's okay).

  while watching all that i could not help but think of all the jw youths who have been told that they could not particicpate in organized sports at school or otherwise.

  Are You Influenced By Looks?

  by jack2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on friday night i watched a report by abc tv's john stossel (in the normal 20/20 time slot) that dealt with how humans are influenced by looks.

  it was a re-broadcast, and even though this was the second time i've seen it it was still fascinating.

  to demonstrate whether we are influenced by appearance, several scenarios were set up, involving people considered attractive and those considered more 'plain'.

  what did you miss in order to attend meetings?

  by jack2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, it was the nfc championship game three years ago in order to attend the meeting, then, on top of that, the elders had *scheduled* a meeting for that day as well, to discuss the co visit.

  then there was a "supplemental" elder's school held a few years back that took me away from the afc title game.

  oh, i taped the stuff, but time-shift recording of sports just doesn't cut it.
