among the living

when it’s been so long since the last entry, i’m not even sure where to begin. it’s like trying to sum up my ‘accomplishments since graduation’ for my 15th high school reunion. i’m wondering what consititutes an accomplishment. somehow that’s easier than writing down my “best memory from high school” since i’ve forgotten most of my high school experiences!

i’ll list instead my best memories/accomplishments during last week’s vacation in the adirondacks:
1. sleeping in until 10:30 am one day
2. watching roman holiday
3. hiking eight miles (i have the raspberry branch scratches on my ankles to prove it)
4. sailing for the first time (ok, so i just rode, while my friend Joyce sailed)
5. quoting pride and prejudice lines with my friends [i believe it is of great doctrinal import]
6. finishing stephen ambrose’s band of brothers; starting orhan pamuk’s snow
7. studying five psalms with four of my good friends
8. eating great food–salmon, sauerbrauten, beef bbq, chicken tagine, hot dogs over the campfire
9. enjoying cold sleeping weather and clear starry nights
10. finding a great diner on our way home

    glad to see things are going well. “vacation”….that’s a novel concept.
