Today is the absolute longest I have ever stayed after a church service. The reason I ended up staying a little longer was that I went on a tour of the church afterwards. I thought that I would be the only person that would be there for the tour. There ended up being about four other people there.

There was a young chubby couple who came from suburbia who were engaged to be married. They had already picked out a church to be married in and it was not this church. They learned about this church from the internet as I did. The female half of the the couple was a big Harry Potter fan. She told us all about how she and her fiance had stood outside a bookstore all night to be the first in line to buy the new Harry Potter book. I had so much in common with this couple. I had learned about the church from the internet and I am a Harry Potter fan too. I wonder what their feelings are about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, comic books, and Star Wars?

Also there was a man and a woman who came there separately. The woman was an out of town Unitarian visiting the church. The man was a college student curious about Unitarianism. Before the tour began the tour guide thought that the man and I were together. I believe she came to this conclusion because he seemed to always be standing right behind me.

The church tour ended with a light lunch and a brief information session. I found the tour to be very informative. I learned a lot about the history of the church as well as where alternate ladies rooms could be found.

WHAT I AM WEARING:
Today, I have on my usual irreverent Sunday shorts. So far no one in church has come up to me and said not to wear shorts. Besides I see plenty of men come in wearing shorts albeit along with a Hawaian shirt. I have also seen a couple of woman occasionally show up in shorts. But for me shorts are my summer church going wardrobe of choice. The shorts I have on today are khaki green. With these short I also have on a pink, orange and yellow striped v-neck t-shirt.
