Church was amazing today, with the music, atmosphere, message, and Sunday school coming together perfectly. I was very glad to be there. Gary had a rally today, and I stank it up horribly. It was a straight TSD, without all mileages, so I had to navigate using mileages and times AFTER each offset. I was irritable, intense, and it turned out, I did it for nothing–we came in 4th out of 5 cars, beaten by two novices.
