Sometime early in this millennium Joyce and I brought a couple of my one-man plays to a missionary retreat on the Costa Brava, near Barcelona, Spain. There we met some missionaries who used some little costumes they'd made to do Chinkin sketches. They kindly let us borrow them, and later we used them to create the video you'll see below, which we used to publicize a marriage retreat, which featured us as speakers. I'm re-posting it today in celebration of our bicentmonthaversary, celebrating 200 months (16 years, 8 months) of the most wonderful marriage I could have ever imagined.

With Christ at the center you don't have to live like this...

In December of 2003, after a performance in Barcelona, Joyce and I drove up the French Riviera as far as St. Tropez. Then, when she had business in Nice in 2006 we drove up to Italy and down to Cannes. On this trip we tried to complete the circuit. We drove south from Cannes and stopped at this beach in what we thought was the next village. I swam out to the floating dock you can see just to the right of the palm tree and spoke French to some Italians. After driving a while we saw Cannes with a red line through it, indicating we were leaving the city and had been at a Cannes beach. I was glad because the rest of the towns we came to had beaches at the bottoms of cliffs. We got as far as Fréjus before end-of-the-day beach traffic and a 3:30am wake-up call forced us to the freeway. Click here to see our route. Of the 23 countries I've visited, driving along the French Riviera is among the most exhilarating international experiences I've had. There's never a straightaway of more than 100 yrds, and the scenery is breathtaking.

After performing Big Fish Little Worm and The Revelation on the Costa Brava for a Church of the Brethren missionaries' retreat we spent a day in Barcelona, where we spent most of our time at La Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's Cathedral, which is still in the midst of a 150 year construction. Then we drove up the coast, into France as far as San Tropez.

We celebrated the New Year in Cassis, a quaint fishing village not far from where we stayed in Marseille.
