And another “return.”

Yesterday evening, we did something else that we haven't done since before the pandemic. We went to the Bergh's, had supper with them, and watched a sporting event on TV. We would do that fairly often before the pandemic - usually with men's basketball, watching the Tar Heels. This time it was the NLCS game number five between the Red Sox and the Astros. I am beginning to think that maybe our watching the game jinxes the Red Sox because they lost again. The last time we watched, game number one, they also lost. So the series is now 3-2 in favor of the Astros. It will now move back to Houston, and the Sox will have to win two away games to win the series- an unlikey outcome. Oh well..... Going to the Bergh's for a 5 o'clock game meant missing two Zoom sessions - Contemplative Prayer and Zohar study. Sort of a frivolous thing to do, I guess, but not really because being with the Bergh family again was the main thing; the game was secondary. That included Cliff, their daughter, Sarah, the two girls, Phoebe and Maggie, and their son Will. Ellen prepared the meal, which was also part of the tradition. I had a good chance to talk with Cliff about his work with Will Hunter, in Wethersfield. Will has an unusual vocation of owning rental properties which he rents at very reasonable rates to men who have just been released from prison, who typically have a hard time finding places to live. i know Will Hunter through the Wethersfield Church where I used to preach once a year on a pretty regular basis. So....a good evening. Next week will be the last Zohar session.
