Saturday at Clean Water U

Well we completed the last of our formal training sessions today and it's been a good learning experience. One of the intresting things they had us do was to present their presentations yesterday and 103 presented what they had learned today. It was a terrific and entertaining overview of the material. 101 performed impressions of the Godfather, Donald "Pump", and Wil Howie (much to Wil's chargrin). It was all in good fun and I believe it got the message across.

102 had numerous learning stations established for our entertainment and enacted the parting of the Red Sea and your's truly somehow ended up being "volunteered" as one of Pharoh's soldiers who never managed to make it out of the Red Sea. Chuck Hadden played the part of Moses who parted the sea. Somehow it didn't seem fair.

Dave Mullins performed an impresion of Jimmy Swaggert as part of 103's presentation asking all of the participants to travel through their "purification" system. Numerous "germs" along the way tried to steer the participants down the "wrong" path of "unrighteousness." Somehow the "righteous" (clean) participants (i.e., water) made it through the system and were purified. Of course after 103 fired up their system for real, we all had to drink the water. It was actualy pretty tasty.

It's too bad none of the "performances" were videotaped. They were all performed in a very entertaining and clever way.

On another humerous note that could have turned out so badly - - - Dave managed to get himself locked in the Oxford's City Hall after it closed - - - without his cellphone. Luckliy he managed to recognize someone else from our group who was walking nearby and he got their attention. The police were subsequently contacted and were able to unlock the building to let him out. We've been giving him a hard time ever since.

We'll be home tomorrow evening. We hope all is well in Oak Ridge.
