In Brief

I haven't posted any personal news in about three months, and you probably don't have the time for an extensive update, so here you go in bullet points:

1. Exams were fine. Sometimes I feel like I'm in Lit class again - as long as I know who the characters are and what they did, I just have to let go and "feel the force" as I answer. Granted there are more details to have to know in the first place, but the open-endedness of the answers is a combination of fun and unsettling. (So much for my intended bullet points...)

2. I am working this summer for a small firm in Fairfax.

3. My wife and I are preparing for a few familial guests this coming week. I was mentioning this fact to someone at church the other day, and they asked if we had any interesting activities planned. It was at that point, of course, that I realized that had I mentioned in the first place that they were going to be in town for a funeral, it would have saved my friend a bit of embarrassment.

4. Work is fun. I love helping people. And ruining peoples' days. People on the other side.

5. Hospitality is great fun. We have been having people over somewhat regularly, and greatly enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully, the feeling has been shared by our guests.
