Where Andy tells Red about that Mexican town and where to find
a special stash under an obsidian rock by the tree where he first
made love to his wife.
It was a dreary day but church went well. I did coffee for the first time with Maggie McLaughlin, also a newbie, but wearing two other hats -- she was a greeter and the ministerial associate for the sparsely attended service. I sat next to one of my favorite people, someone I met on my return visit to UUSMC, who, along with Linda Lucero, invited me to the literary soiree at the latter's home. It was Susan Klugerman, the restaurateur extraordinaire, who had a fine eatery in San Francisco during the height of the AIDS epidemic. She lost many of her employees to the disease. It was nice to sit next to her and my really favorite person came, Jane Frelick, a few minutes after the start, seated, as always in the front row. She will have a 70th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks but is unsure whether Robert, her iconic doctor husband, will make it. He is in a nursing home at present and not doing very well. Let's hope they make it, but we talked and she has such a healthy and positive attitude. They have lived an amazing and awesomely productive and wonderful life together.

I am truly enjoy the services of Rev. Keith Goheen, who is a member of the congregation, but lives and is the chaplain at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes, Delaware. He drives about 90 minutes to get to the church and he does a wonderful job. He delivers a powerful sermon and has a deliberate and measured tone that engages. He spoke of being assaulted by comments all around oneself and then having to find that place within, the one where one can find all that is necessary. It is place to get your bearings and be able to come to some understanding. It is sacred space and there you may find wisdom. He made an interesting statement about his life, when he came to a point where his roots had shifted and had moved on: I resolve to live unresolved, he said.
And he also spoke about the sun and its bounty and how it has shined over all time with little recognition, so does generosity illumine the world. He was quoting from the Persian poet Rumi.
On a big sports note, the Eagles beat the Cowboys in the last game of the NFL season when the backup QB for Dallas was intercepted with less than 2 minutes remaining for a 26-24 victory. They head to the playoffs against New Orleans at home next Sunday as winners of their division, even though N.O. has more victories.
