Our first meeting was an orientation... where are the towels, how
do you send a letter, that sort of stuff. It sort of shook the stars from
my eyes a bit, but then it was very funny as well. At the end of the meeting,
we had the ritual "watching of the holy soccer game." After all,
it was the World Cup finals, France against Brazil, with provincials from
France and Brazil both there!
Not to spoil the surprise when you watch the tape later, but France won,
3-0. As Timothy pointed out, he couldn't take sides, being the Master of
the entire Order, but it was lucky that France won... there are five capitulares
from France and only one from Brazil. Our meetings should run more smoothly.
The top picture is our incredible big screen projection TV, quite the
high-tech setup. The purple glow at the bottom is the projector. We didn't
get it just for the game, of course... this is serious work! The bottom
picture is the brothers huddled in the dark watching the game. You can almost
make them out if you expand the picture. |
