He's also a Formula One fan but no one else in the congregation is, so he's had to give up on those analogies. :-)Alice Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218095053108888830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-603132789167570672012-04-18T00:46:32.669-07:002012-04-18T00:46:32.669-07:00Alice, I lived in Melbourne for a couple of years ...Alice, I lived in Melbourne for a couple of years and discovered the 'winter religion' of AFL football.
