the day after the ides
I awoke at 5:30 this morning when Mike, one of my cats, decided that my dresser was too cluttered for his tastes. Yeah. I love that. So, nagging cough in tow, I walked to the couch to blog. I mean, really, what else am I supposed to do with my time (and that list grows longer and longer)?
So, in order to combat what will surely lead to One Bigarse Blue Funk, I think now that I will talk about the things that make, or recently have made, me happy.
Been debating/clarifying with Megan how I think and how my tradition thinks about preaching. Megan is a good foil for me...a good long-time friend.
We had snow last night. It cannot be more than an inch. It is a beautiful dusting. As I was walking home from rehearsal with One of the Girls, it was drifting gently down. It made me think of home and the rare March snow that we would get. It would be warm enough to go fishing, but the surprise snow somehow made the whole experience surreal. Walking home with drum, mandolin and guitar in hand(s), there was nothing at all surreal. It was perfect.
Susie came over yesterday. We watched Mae's Buffy dvd's (season five). That was a gift as well. Susie is a wondrous friend. And Mae is cool eough to loan her dvd's!
Today I will go to school and work work work on my thesis. I'll post the proposal for those who are interested. If you are interested in John Calvin, you may find the thesis useful. If you are interested in ecumenism, you may find the thesis useful. Otherwise, well, I make no claims to being a stage or screen writer. No entertainment value here for the non-theology geek. Move along. Nothing to see here.
The Mighty Spiders are in the NCAA playoffs. I know, I said that yesterday, but I need to say it again. Go, Spiders!
And finally, our corner preacher placed this image on his blog. I figured I would do no less. God save us from our own insanity.
