Grandma Cybersalt and I had a great time at my dad's 80th birthday on Thursday with friends and family. It was a full day, which is why the news is so brief today.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
Grandma Cybersalt and I are back in Ontario for a short visit with our daughter and her family. After that we head over to my parents' place, where we'll be celebrating my dad's 80th birthday this week. It's not just the birthday I'm looking forward to, either. I'll get to spend time with a lot of other people I love and don't get to see as often as I'd like.
Today's video share is a fun bit of nostalgia. It's a look back at how a crew made a 1966 Chevy assemble itself out of thin air for a TV commercial, and you can tell how impressed they were with their methods. To be fair, it was impressive. Of course, these days the whole thing could be done by one person sitting at a computer. My, how the times have changed.

Sunday greetings everyone!
Yesterday I spoke on AI at the potluck lunch for our church's 55+ ministry group. Grandma Cybersalt and I got a nice meal out of it, and we had an enjoyable time with our peers. I do have to admit, though, that it still surprises me to realize I actually belong to that age group now and have for a few years.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
You may have noticed that last Chicken Thursday's news was actually the news from the previous Sunday. That was another error between my keyboard and my desk chair — I got the whole thing written and then never pushed the publish button.
So this week's news is running a little behind itself. Last Thursday I was going to tell you we'd finally gotten some rain after a long dry stretch, but you never heard that, and it isn't raining today. What I can tell you is that the dog park next door is up and running. The grassy area on the human side was roped off for a while so the sod could take root, and that's ready now too. All that's left is a picnic bench and a cement anchor for a sign, or something. We'll see what shows up.
Today's video share rounds up the funniest moments from Beijing's World Humanoid Robot Games — robots boxing, sprinting, and mostly face-planting in front of a live crowd. As ominous as the move to robotics can be at times, these bloopers are just plain funny.

Sunday greetings everyone!
Our 40th wedding anniversary was two weeks ago, but this weekend we're celebrating with all of our kids and grandkids. Later this afternoon we're gathering at the board game cafe that one of my sons-in-law and his brother own, for supper and games together. With six grandkids ranging from three to thirteen, Grandma Cybersalt and I figured this was the perfect way to go out for dinner without it being torture for the younger ones. We are grateful to God for our family.
Today's video share is a recording of last week's service, where I preached from the book of Philemon — a short letter with a surprising amount to say about reconciling the complex relationships we can face, even in the church. If you missed it live or didn't get to the replay, here's your chance to catch it.

Sunday greetings everyone!
I've preached more than a thousand times over the years, and today I get to do it one more time. Our senior pastor is on vacation, so I get to preach this morning.
Which brings me to today's video share — it's the live stream of this morning's service. Depending on when you're reading this, it's yet to start, it's on right now, or you can watch the replay.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
The big news around Cybersalt World Headquarters this week is that our eldest daughter and grandson have arrived for a visit, and we are having a wonderful time with them.
On a related family note, last Sunday's video share was of Susan's and my wedding service from 40 years ago that very day. Unbeknownst to me, YouTube had quietly changed the privacy status on older uploads, so nobody was actually able to watch it. I don't expect anyone to watch, but I do have friends and family who are subscribed, and everyone is welcome to have a look. There are actually three videos:

Wedding

Sunday greetings everyone!
Today is a big one at Cybersalt World Headquarters. Susan and I are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. We said our vows on August 23, 1986 (mustache and all, if the photo is any evidence), and here we are four decades later. We are grateful to God for all of His blessings and faithfulness over these past forty years.
Looking back at the video below stirs up a lot. It reminds us of the many dear people who stood with us that day and are no longer with us now. It also reminds us of all the people who fill our lives today, children and grandchildren, who didn’t even exist back in 1986. God has been faithful through every bit of it.
Today’s video share is a little different. It’s the video of our wedding service, captured off the old VHS tape, so the resolution isn’t quite as marvelous as we thought it was forty years ago. We were grateful to have the service recorded at all, which was still a fairly new thing in the wedding world back then. Fun fact: the cameraman accidentally bumped the pause button and didn’t record any of my vows. Rest assured, though, I did make them. Susan wasn’t the only one.
