1. Lawrence Crumb invited me to the Cottage Theater to see their production of Willy Wonka... and I started the day in Cottage Grove by attending the Eucharist at the church, St. Andrew's, where Father Crumb serves as priest. I enjoyed the service a lot. I enjoyed being a part of a small congregation in a small church, enjoyed Lawrence's sermon, and very much enjoyed the fellowship during and after the service ended.
2. When I knew I'd be worshiping at St. Andrew's, I hoped Rita would be there and she was. We went to her house in Creswell after church and enjoyed coffee and a fine lunch and talked about all the things we've enjoyed talking about over the years, including poetry. We looked at a book titled Faces of Poetry and listened to Galway Kinell and others read their poems on a CD and talked about all the things going on in our lives now. Hard to believe it's been thirteen years since we last stood side by side in a classroom and co-taught philosophy and composition.
3. The Cottage Theater is a beautiful facility and the performance of Willy Wonka was full of spirit, energy, and fun. It might have even given us all some things to ponder about honesty. I look forward to seeing more plays at the Cottage Theater.
