June 15th at The Porch

Father's Day at The Porch was a lovely thing. It's always nice to get through your second week, because anyone can do something once. We had a good group, not as many as last week since we weren't at Tompkins, but more of a community vibe that is already starting to form. Some highlights from the day:

- Much meat was grilled on the ghetto-fabulous barbeque.
- The First Annual Porch wiffle ball tournament went off in classic fashion. Team Failure pulled off an unlikely last-inning comeback to win 6-5 over Team Haggard.
- Luke continued his relentless water soaking of nearly everyone involved.
- God parted the East River, which allowed us to pass on dry ground across to Greenpoint. Ok, maybe not, but he did stop a torrential downpour at the fervent prayers of Kelly and Luke, allowing us to grill in peace and not in a swamp.

Oh yes and of greatest importance, we (as a community) decided that we will have our Sunday meal/gatherings at East River Park instead of Tompkins, from now on. It's a little mellower at East River, and gives us a chance to relax comfortably without the constant insanity of TSP. So from here on out: The Porch, Sundays at 1 pm, East River Park by the 6th Street footbridge. Hear it, know it, love it.

Unfortunately we didn't get an pics from the games - didn't bring the camera because it was supposed to thunderstorm all day.

Luke's doing great in school - all done with kindergarten tomorrow!
