*MON OCT 06** Unitarian Universalist Church, Cleveland Heights to UMC in
Macedonia, OH*



Dave Finnegan answered my email immediately overnight. He’s been looking
for assistance in the Cleveland area! And now he has it. When Rachel asked
about breakfast, the evening before, I suggested that we have granola. She
was delighted. I got the homemade granola out of the box from Heidi. Peter
had been working on a PowerPoint presentation the night before and didn’t
have breakfast with us. Rachel took Cocoa (Labrador Retriever) for an early
morning walk. I looked at the map I had on my phone for Bicycle that Rachel
found for me. I copied the route down on paper  so I could look at it on
the trip without having to pull my phone out. Rachel came back from the
walk and was ready to take me to the church. She woke Peter so we could say
goodbye. He came down in a shirt and tie ready for work (Geriatric MD). I
told him we had granola for breakfast and offered him some. He declined. We
shook hands and I thanked him for the Home-stay. Rachel helped me load my
belongings and we drove off to the church. Shortly after we departed
Rachel’s phone rang. It was Peter. He told her that I had left my box on
the table. Rachel returned, picked up the box, and informed me that Peter
had some granola after all! I’ll share the rest with the March at breakfast
time. When we got to the church I unloaded my gear, thanked Rachel with a
hug. Since I had the route I headed for Macedonia. The bike route
directions were much simpler than the March route.



When I arrived at the Church I introduced myself. I indicated I was early
because I was riding my bike. They asked if I wanted to put my bike inside.
I said “Yes”. One reason is security; the second is weather. I picked a
room downstairs and near a door to the Gear truck. There was a Jazzercize
class in the auditorium adjoining the kitchen so we couldn’t have dinner
until 7:15. There were at least 10 new Marchers. Since they come and go, I
find it difficult to remember names. There were several long
‘announcements’ that took dinnertime until 8:15. There were 2 meetings
after dinner. One to get a consensus on the actions that the March should
take in WDC, and the other to reflect on the impact the March has had on us
as individuals.
