The Autism Center of Tulsa<\/a> had their second annual Smarts and Arts Trivia Quiz Friday Night.<\/p>\n

A good time was had by all. My employer, the gas company, sponsored a table so I had some coworkers attending.<\/p>\n

Left to right, Eric and Teresa, and Georgette. Eric and Teresa are fellow geocachers but they have let the recent arrival of a new grandbaby cut down their finds. I’ve counseled them about that. I don’t think they took me too seriously.<\/p>\n

Jamee, Rebecca, and Pat. Pat brought his toe shoes to the event.<\/p>\n

He and tried to start a new thing at work. “Toe Shoe Tuesday” we figured out that the gurgling sound we kept hearing was our careers going down the drain so we put our plans on hold pending further advisement.<\/p>\n

The event featured trivia, a silent auction, and art by local children diagnosed with autism. Much of it is quite good.<\/p>\n

\"Smarts<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Smarts<\/a><\/p>\n

We ended up buying the piece below. It as a team effort by several children coordinated by an Occuptional Therapist. SuperPizzaBoy participated in its creation.<\/p>\n

I helped out at the event. I hauled stuff in and arranged it. My crowning achievement was the creation of the scoring spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

The heavy lifting in terms of hours and intensity of work was done by four women: My wife Sweetie, our friend Jonni (of first class blog “That’s Baloney<\/a>“, and the co-founders of the Autism Center of Tulsa, Jennifer and Michelle. Sweetie and Jonni were co-chairs of the event.<\/p>\n

Sorry, I don’t have any photographs of any of them at the event. They were in constant motion all night long. I tried, they were too busy. Below is a photo of Jonni on the left and Sweetie on the right from last Spring. They could hardly stand still then for a photo.<\/p>\n

\"017\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You know, I didn’t notice until just now but their race numbers are anagrams. 718 and 817 each have the same number. Wow. I don’t know what that means. I wanted 666 for my number but it was already taken. Darn it.<\/p>\n

The verse of the day is John 20:1, “Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb…”<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What I think of with this verse is that while the guys were all fast asleep, Mary Magdalene got up to do the work that needed to be done. And some people think that women should not be ministers?<\/p>\n

As a bonus, one of my favorite hymns: “God of Wonders” by Third Day. (Thanks to Driller’s Place<\/a> for for reminding me.)<\/p>\n
