Really Neat Exhibit Day!

I got to go to a really cool exhibit in High Point. It's called "The Dead Sea Scrolls to the Bible in America." (http://www.deadseascrollstoamerica.com) I saw things you wouldn't believe! They had actual pieces of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a Gutenberg Bible, ancient cuneiform tablet pieces, a portion of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and even a mummified falcon! I got to see beautiful illuminated manuscripts. I couldn't draw like that with a gun to my head. Those folks had some serious talent. I took some great pictures that I hope come out well. I didn't use my flash, since too many flashes can be bad for these sorts of things. (Or at least, so they tell me. The folks today didn't say anything, but every museum I've ever been in had the "no-flash" policy.) Unfortunately my camera battery died, so the picture I wanted to get of me with the Gutenberg wasn't to be. I'm going back, though, and I'll get a new battery before then, and take that picture and post it here. I may also get a picture of me in the simulated Qumran. I'll be all "Get me! I'm an Essene! Sure hope no Romans show up!"

I'd been looking forward to this since last Sunday (Hey, look! Petunia just walked in!) when I heard about it on WBFJ. That's our local Christian radio station. They were talking about this thing when I was on my way to church, and I got so excited. I love this stuff! Yes, I am fully aware what a dork I am. I even got to go to a lecture. I think I'm going back next Saturday, or possibly Sunday. Yeah, that might be better, since I'll be in Kernersville any way, and that's much closer than I live. Maybe I can get some folks from Church to go with. In fact, if this tour ever comes your way, try to go. The tickets aren't super expensive, and it's a neat way to spend a couple of hours.

Actually, it also got me out of a homeowner's meeting that was held at my house. It sounded like a crashing bore, so I decided as soon as it was planned to get out of Dodge for a while. Apparently, not a lot was accomplished, and very few people showed up, although I did find out later that the neighbors love my Coffee. Apparently, they think he's very sweet (duh) and just beautiful (duh squared). I knew all that. Heck, I tell people that all the time. Y'all know. You've seen the Javahound pics. Oh, that reminds me. I'm thinking of having Coffee mugs made. If anybody would be interested, let me know. I'll find out how much they would cost. Who knows? People all over America, or even the whole world, could be starting their day with Coffee. He is, after all, the best part of waking up! Well, unless he's waking you up at 2:30 AM with ear-slapping, of course.

Let's see. Any other news? Not that I can think of. Wait! That's not true. I found my watch! At least, my grandmother found it. I knew I'd left it there. It was deep in the recesses of a chair. I bet if we looked for long, we'd eventually find Amelia Earhart. OK. I'm done now. I'm going to go vacuum my bedroom floor. Wish me luck! Dog hair is a valiant adversary.
