  • Dubya: Yeah I sort of quit already too. Not sure who the translator is on this one but I wasn't enjoying it one bit.
  • Green: Best Russian translators: Pevear and Volokhonsky. According to me, anyway.
  • janeheiress: Emma is so hard to read! But I'm going to do it. And Pevear and Volokhonsky are fabulous, but I've only read Crime & Punishment.

Sunday, Sunday

Yesterday, Sunday, three interesting things happened in church that I want to share:

  1. Someone stood up and began to testify about Batman. That's right, he said "I believe in Batman." Why would he say such a thing? I do not know, yet he did, and I am a bit chagrinned to admit that I could not restrain my chuckles.
  2. There is a new member named Bobby Lee Justice. That's right. Bobby Lee Justice. He sports a beard in the Greek style... like Brigham Young, you know, full beard but no mustache. With a name like Bobby Lee Justice he was sort of like a Minnonite superhero. He was immediately my favorite person in the room.
  3. We had a lesson on goals. Someone raised his hand and described how he had set a goal to become a black belt in karate but had to adjust it when he broke his leg. Someone else raised a hand and asked why he decided to become a black belt in the first place. Without missing a beat, he looked right at the man and with a straight face said, "The Karate Kid." I immediately did a fist pump in the air as every guy in the room exclaimed "yeah" in unison.
I love church... Not just for the aforementioned happenings, but they do make things more interesting and fun.

Wow! My first day away sounds quite unique. I'm curious about the Batman thing. I'm pretty sure I know who it was.

See, this is why I've missed English Fast Sunday.
