Is there life after a day at the office? In other words, what will Dr. Lingle talk about when I’m in the chair and can’t talk back? Occasionally, yes, there is life at the end of the business day. For that, we have the choir at Haymount United Methodist Church, an old jalopy that always needs more work, piano music (it seems to need some work, too), an occasional golf game, water sports, the wife, two kids, two dogs…and there’s always the ACC.
