Last night I went to go see Eight Below - the movie about sled dogs in Antartica. I think when I move back to the Duluth area, I may just take up Dogsledding. You can wear more clothes dogsledding than cross country skiing. Nah... I'd never give up cross country skiing... as the Olympic news guy just said, "The 50k cross country ski race is the ultimate winter endurance test... Perhaps the fittest athletes here." I agree. I'm definately not in that kind of shape... but maybe agian sometime. Oh, and one more comment about going to this movie - PLEASE for the sake of the other movie-goers do not bring your 2 year old who can't shut up to the movie theater. Please wait until they can sit still for 2 hours. Either that or go to the mommy's day out movies that allow babies and such. There should be some sort of age limit on the movie theater - like, 5 years old or something.
And today, I went to check out Willow Creek Community Church - one of the country's biggest mega-churches. And you know it's a contemporary church when the title of the sermon series is "Bling-onomics" - about a Godly way to manage your finances, get out of debt, etc. A church used the word bling... wow. Ok, so you know that little rhyme we all learn in Sunday school "Here is the church, here is the steeple, open the doors and see all the people" while doing the appropriate hand motions? Well... this church was more like... "Drive up to the church and pick follow the parking guides and the appropriate signs to the appropriate parking lots for the main entrance... Here is the church that's as big as my high school... There is no steeple, but a lot of pretty ponds... Open the door, see TONS of people, decide whether to go through door A,B,C,D or to take the escilator UP to the balcony." Seriously this church seats more people than any theater or auditorium I've ever been in. Here's a pic of after church... had to take one to prove how big it is.
This is only about 1/3 of the seating.
More Chicago pics to be updated on my photo site as I get them... see link to right of screen.
