7th Memories Playlist, for real

    Since I saw a live rock concert on October 15th, I managed to fill out my 7th Memories Playlist with tracks I've heard live and in-person.  This means I have one memories playlist for each day of the week, something I want to try out at least once when I get my regular laptop back.  Here's the playlist:

Today I also return to the Church building of Garden Street United Methodist for the last time as we say goodbye to the old building and take up temporary residence at the Sheraton Hotel on Lakeway Drive starting November 7th.  I will be missing the initial service there, as I will be with my brother, sister-in-law, Dad and his wife in Beaverton, OR, in fact, that's the day I return home to Bellingham.  I'm a bit nervous about the move, but I know it is necessary, the old building needs more in repairs that we ever could afford and GSUMC is the congregation, not the building.  We will live on and carry out our work, even if we have only the options to meet in Pastor Kathy's living room, Whatcom Falls Park's Parking Lot or the back room at Grocery Outlet.  I will miss the old building, but sustaining our existence in a reasonable facility is more important than upholding tradition.  Jesus bucked tradition in favor of compassion, as do we as a reconciling congregation.  The building on Garden Street is a nice building, but God is everywhere and is guiding us forward to the next step.

A lot of things are moving to their next step.  Super Smash Bros. is over, the Mariners are going to compete in the AL West, possibly without Kyle Seager, many classic rockers have either announced their retirement or their alignment with anti-Biden, anti-mask, anti-vaxx, pro-Trump policies, I played so many video games during the pandemic I'm not sure how many more I'm going to play, but it seems like only a few and a website I've been part of for over 13 years and posted for almost ten doesn't have the appeal it used to because it only appreciates one side of me, a side that is worn out and exhausted from trying to entertain them all through the pandemic and got criticized for exercising free will.  I'm honestly afraid if I post screenshots from future games there, they'll continue to "backseat gamer" me and tell me what I should be doing and spoil plot elements and make me rush through the game rather than enjoy it at my own pace.  I don't want that for Metroid Dread, Miitopia or Splatoon 3, which means I should probably retire now, end the nonsense.  The only problem is I have no idea how to fill all the free time.
