Staff Retreat to the “Real OC”

The church staff that I am a member of spent the better part of Sunday through Tuesday at our annual Staff Retreat. Generally this event is held in the fall, but schedules prevented that from happening, so this was our first attempt at a January gathering. All in all a good time was had by all. In addition to meeting to discuss issues and events for the coming year, we always pray together and also we enjoy time together. We got to spend some time in the jacuzzi, play some cards, do some mini-golf and we even had dinner at the famous “Salt Creek Grill”. If you are a fan of Laguna Beach you may recognize this restaurant, as it has been featured on the show several times. We also had the annual Trivial Pursuit grudge match of Young Guys vs. Old Guys. This year the cut-off was Dave Moses, so Scott Grooms moved up to the old guys team. Despite the best efforts of the old guys (can you really debate a question for 10 minutes?) they were unsuccessful at pulling out a victory and so the Young Guys continue to reign supreme. In what can only be described as a case of sour grapes, Bruce has decreed that we will no longer play Trivial Pursuit and that next year we will mix up the teams. The worst part of the whole thing was missing Christie & Sally! Oh and by the way… Sally is for sure crawling now.

    sour grapes is a funny term.
    no matter what you’ll be a first draft pick for you general brainy-ness. they’ll need someone else for the sports category, but any average joe knows that useless crap. you see that’s what makes them average, because they concern themselves with who ran fast one year, and threw something the next.
