28-Sunday

Today I went to First Lutheran it was a very nice service, although I went to the 10:15 service and there was a whole lot more people there; I think I may have taken someone's spot or I am definitely sitting in the wrong section because some of the older people just gave me a kind of puzzled, "why are you sitting there?" look. I am not sure if I should sit in the balcony perhaps that is where the college students and and younger people sit; it looks like a younger crowd up there although I haven't the foggiest of how to get up there. And this week some of the children from the grade school sat and sang up there.

 I wonder if it is just lutheran thing that we sit in the same spots and the church is separated into the young mothers and fathers with the children that like to vocalize their opinions; the elders of the group who have come to the same pew at the same time each Sunday for the last twenty twenty years.  Then there are the families with teenagers and grade-school age. You can always tell if there has been a sleep over because one kid is carrying a  hefty-looking backpack out of church bent in deep conversation with a child of the same size (approximately).   I think i sat in the  early-bird breakfast section (oops :)

It must just think this because Garrison Keeler,  is always is telling a satirical story about those Lutherans up der in Min-a-SOta.  As another point of interest people not from Wisconsin/ Minnesota think our Yooper accents are ridiculous and hilarious don't cha know?

Enough of this nonsense, the rest of this day was spent productively.
