Tea Friends!

We just had a fabulous visit from Laura and Clint, who are now road-tripping their way to adventures in Vancouver. It was such a treat to have them, and Josh and Cindy all together again. And the best part is, we all sat around and drank tea (and coffee, Josh : c)) together. Come back, come often!

Matt is getting angsty about apple. I'm trying to get a new job to bail him out--we need a change of pace.

Pool!

Summer is here! I went in the pool today (although without a philosopher accompanying me, Josh), and it was divine.

Now I have to avoid becoming a lobster for the rest of the summer :c).

In other news, Matt and I have started playing classic Nintendo games. I never had a Nintendo set as a kid, so i'm very much enjoying myself. Matt's having a blast from the past, remembering all the hidden levels and 1-ups.

Who needs work, anyway, when summer's here!

See here for cool pictures of bones and nerves and unidentifiable soft tissue:

Here I am again, at long last.

Matt had his surgery, and came through like a trooper.  He had a spinal fusion to correct his recurring herniated L-5/S-1 disc, and now he spends his time lying about recovering.  He's healing beautifully :c).

In other recent news, I got my ears pierced in Yellow Springs over graduation weekend, and I can't wait to start wearing the cool earrings I got at the Ohio Silver Co.--I'm resisting the urge to buy LOTS of earrings now before I even get started...

Matt and Nate are plotting their own brewing company and plan on spending the summer home-brewing.  Bottoms up!

And congratulations to Megan and Greg Lynch--being married is piles and piles of fun :c).

another day, another dollar

it's my birthday!!!!

I heard about Cedarville's recent press from a co-worker yesterday.  She has a daughter that goes to UD and just came back from a weekend in Dayton.  She came right up to me and said "Did you go to Cedarville?  The school was all over the papers, and it [the school] sounded really bad."

How horrible is it that Cedarville would allow what was once interdepartmental politicking to escalate to irresolvable conflicts between believers!  Cedarville is making itself look like one more frightened, hard-line Christian school.  And in the Chronicle article, Bill Brown comes off as REALLY flippant about the whole thing.

I am so mortified for what Cedarville is doing, and for whatever happened with Hoffeditz so that he believes he can no longer work credibly in academic circles without legal action.

I want to write letters, make a trip to Cedarville and sit down with Bill Brown and ask him how the hell he thinks this is Pro Corona et Foedere Christi.

A new post is long overdue--with lots and lots of life happening in between now and Feb. 7.

But spring is here, and we have the windows open, and today we're going to the zoo.

I need to try to get published.  I miss Oxford, and England.  I want to go back (which feels like masochism, but England is so beautiful :c)).
