Adventure 898: Tucson Winter Two/6

i know living in this world, it takes all kinds, I find myself constantly baffled, often dismayed, and mostly helpless to change the course of things. The best I can do is serve others, even in small ways. I served in the classroom for thirty-one years, as did my  Bunny. Now that we have time, we're putting our kitchen skills to use helping feed the homeless in a program sponsored by Southside Presbyterian called Cross Street. I believe that people are more  alike than they're different, and I think humans can help each other. I also believe in the battle of good and evil. I've got to believe there's more people in the world who want to build than there are those who want to destroy. It's in that spirit that I work against those who would demean, displace, and discourage those less fortunate. Like Shalom in Spokane, this program offers a meal with no strings attached. The goal is just to provide good food in a place where people can eat with some dignity. That's all. 

In daily news, Judy's health is back to normal except for a tickle in her throat. She's knitting and working out. My Tai Chi moves apace: slowly, but steadily. And people have toldl me patience is a good thing. It must be working because life is good, especially today. 

Saturday Tai Chi Class breaking up. Sifu has about twenty regular students. Some have studied with him more than fifteen years.

A lady named Jean prepares this table. Cereal, PP&J sandwiches; Ham and cheese sandwiches; bananas and oranges.

After Keb Mo finished.

As you can see, I'm grateful to Keb Mo for scraping the snow off of Davey Boy.

Today part of the meal was baked bbq chicken.

Talented members from the church provide music.
