Sundays

I used to go to Sunday school.  I only lasted a few years with it, but I did notice that they never told us about Mary Magdalen.

I used to go swimming at the university athletic centre on Sunday afternoons.  At the pool they often played this Tijuana Brass record with numbers like "A Taste of Honey."

Sunday nights was the time of one of my favourite TV shows.  The Wonderful World of Disney.  Here in New Brunswick, the show was sponsored by Irving Oil.  Before the show came on, I'd watch the last minutes of Hymn Sing. (Does anyone else remember that show?) I especially liked the animated episodes.  One thing I remember is that after the Disney show's closing credits were finished, the first commercial would always be for the latest Disney movie release.  I also watched The Beachcombers and The Irish Rovers and The Waltons on Sundays.

These days, I host my Meetup groups for reading out loud on Sunday afternoons.  That's also when I host my classic book club, so I have to plan ahead so they'll be on different weeks.
