Ahhh, good times at 'ol ball game last night. The Padres opened up the new place - which is very nice indeed - with an extra innings come from behind win. Even better, it was against the hated Giants. Even better, I got to walk around the Gaslamp District and eat a sandwich with my dad before the game.
An interesting little thing happened, though. We were walking around the outside of the new stadium and ran into a couple of pastors from churches in our local association of the denomination. My stomach tightened as they brought up stupid, petty, worthless political BS agendas that they're trying to work on. I seriously think my blood pressure rose about 15 points for the several minutes we were stuck talking to them. Funny thing is that not ten minutes before that, I was talking to my dad about how it's that kind of stuff that causes me to hold my denomination at arms length. I really gotta wonder if it's worth it to even be affiliated. Every rose has it's thorn, but in my case, I'm wondering if there are flowers to be seen through all the prickly crap.
