sorry for the blog silence. my vacation has actually been ramping up into a true vacation. we’re on the road today (just stopped at starbucks) to northern michigan for a family wedding and family reunion. tonite, a bachelor party for my cousin (waterskiing on a lake with the guys). tomorrow morning, i’ll be skydiving over traverse bay (correction: little traverse bay — between petosky and harbor springs). tomorrow night, rehearsal dinner (which is really a family reunion). saturday morning, a best-ball golf tourny. saturday evening, the wedding. sunday, drive back down to detroit and fly to san diego. doubt i’ll get to much blogging. later!
(oh, sitting here in starbucks, i did just have a youth worker come in and ask if i was mark oestreicher, and chat for a bit. nice guy. that doesn’t happen to me very often — always feels weird.)
Have fun to the west of me (about 50 miles). TVC is a great place to vacation. High temperature in the lower 80s.
I had a silence too, a month in Europe with little access to the net and then.. the blue screen of death on my laptop. I found out how addicted I am to the net,my blog and email… Is tehre a 12 step program for me?
anyway I was driving thru Hungary and saw a town named… MARKO, I almost took a picture for you, but lazyness took over and I didnt get it done, fine little town though you could move there and be Mayor
marko…swing on through on your way back down on sunday. our church is off of i-75 (just south of birch run/frankenmuth…which by the way has a starbucks for ya). New Covenant’s the name…good times man. Jaime Hinojosa’s old church (before she moved to GR, so you know you’re in good company).
11:15 man…and the youthguy’s speaking in big church this week. Can’t lose ;)
Mark, I was the one you met in the Starbucks, just a little hurt that you did not remember my name. I would like one free addmission to YS as reperation. BTW the family and you were very nice, sorry if I talked to long(at least that is what my wife said. I told her after the money I have given your organization, 10 minutes was not to much time. Let me know if you think I have unhealthy expectations or boundaries.
dave — who said i didn’t remember your name, bro? i didn’t say that. i enjoyed our chat!
